Cool Mini or Not - often abbreviated as CMoN or cmon - is billed as the largest online gallery of painted miniatures.
Inspired by sites such as HotorNot, David Doust started Cool Mini or Not in 2001 with an image voting script that would allow people to rank or score submissions from miniature painters around the world. The site quickly grew in popularity as word spread throughout the miniature painting community.
After problems began arising from people submitting photos that weren't their own, David contacted Ng Chern Ann about a revised script that he was using on his own site. The two came to an agreement and Cool Mini or Not received a major overhaul, including putting the photo approval process in place.
Cool Mini or Not has grown since then to include its own webstore with miniatures from several different manufacturers, a forum for members and items such as featured auctions.
