Some are good, some are crap, some are rips, some are GREAT... It just takes time.
Heck look at JimmyL ... That man put out numerous themes and received very little recognition for them until he created se7en HD ... Now he is more known and lots of "main" players are using and showcasing his work. That helps immensely.
Breaking into the "elite" themer group isn't going to be easy Bc they are the elders for the most part and have all been close for years. Everyone's best bet is to be the next generation.
But then again I wish everyone still worked like it was done in the beginning. Used to be for fun and not for business. We all used to have a lot more fun. I say just keep it fun for you bro and don't worry about the rest.
