nnuu... you will never listen to anything a merchant says. Therefore, this is my final post on the subject. The problem is with the fact that in reent months, Renderosity has been making changes to the way merchants are being handled without any warning... or worse yet, getting the merchants' opinions, then ignoring said opinions and slapping new restrictions down anyway. And the problem isn't making new banners... that's not difficult. The problem is that a) The banners being removed were WITHIN the TOS, and b) The removals were not even-handed. Far more suggestive banners remained, and some remain even now. They were random, and seemingly arbitrary. Yes, Renderosity was here before the merchants. But if all of the merchants were to suddenly leave, Renderosity would either collapse, or start charging membership fees. The site has grown too large to support itself without income of some kind, and the traffic through the MP is exactly that support. And, yet, even here, the merchants are treated like second class citizens. When we do a simple act of non-agressive protest, like the banner ads, we're told by the public to sit down, shut up, and take our new bonds like nice boys and girls. Nope, sorry. if the rules change, I want to know about them BEFORE they go into effect. And if they take the time to ask our opinions on matters dealing with the marketplace and the merchant Forums, then by gawd they'd better at least take those opinions into consideration. Otherwise, i may as well just go live in the merchant's Ghetto, and beg for scraps of crumbs falling from Renderosity's table.
