I think right now there is a slight lull because everyone is playing with Carrara 8 to see what it can do. We'll have a flood of images soon I have a feeling. Also I think this forum talks with its gallery postings, because we have several new great ones every day. And like Mark said - we've got quite a few power users here who are happy to answer your questions, but in the meantime we are all busy creating new images.
 
btw Mark I had a great time watching and learning from your Dark Arts tutorial on homegrown HDRIs. That is a great technique and a real render time saver if the map is only used for reflections.
