As someone who visits this place at least once a day, everyday, you and the other admins have my complete respect and admiration for the sheer amount of work, dedication and professionalism you have put into making this the best 3D graphics site on the web. Maintaining and growing such a resource and paying for the bandwidth all costs and this has to be paid for. Commercialism in some form is consequently a reality if this place is to stay alive. The Poser Store is part of that reality and if Renderosity does not open one someone else will. The Store is a natural and required development and I welcome it and wish it well as yet another resource for artists being offered by this site. I would like to see the store make lots of money for all involved, artists and Renderosity because all are deserving of this. My only concern is what is the best, most viable and sustainable commercial policy for the Store. Thus my posts above on a slightly different approach to commission charges. One of the consequences of entering the commercial retailing world is competition (if your leave yourselves open to it). There are plenty business-minded people out there who will happily let you do the hard work of setting the thing up and then pounce on it and cherry pick it by offering better deals to contributors and customers. That is a reality of the commercial world. So be forearmed and forewarned, make it hard for the potential commercial competition to do this, protect you asset and your investment by making sure that your Store offers the best deals and rates possible to artists and customers. It may not be possible to lower the commission rates, but if it is I would urge you look long and hard at this issue again. In my opinion it is the one potential "Achilles heel" in the whole venture, everything else - the 15,000 members, the reputation of this site, the existing goodwill and much more are all working for you. The best of luck to you Jack, the Team and the Store. STORM
