Recently some students in Deerfield, IL. set up on online business. They thought it would be okay to bid against their own products on E-Bay in order to drive the bid up as long as they were not caught. I read the hard copy story and their reasoning was almost exactly the same as the ones here who seem to be shilling . To make a long story short, they've been banned from E-Bay, the FTC became involved, and there was something about a huge fine for wire fraud (or something like that) due to the scam being pulled over the internet. Of course they were too smart for everyone to be caught also.(snicker)
Don't get me wrong, I like renderosity. It has a lot of potential, but some internal housecleaning seems to be needed(if the posts lately are any kind of indication)
