Ed, What, exactly, are the " ALL sorts of terrible situations and unnecessary scenarios and factions..." that you refer to against the plan of sending contributions? We deserve a better explanation why the easiest solution is being dismissed. We are not five years old here. It is my guess that this new forum will stagnate unless you guys are more forthcoming with why things won't work. Calenders, CD collections etc. are all very well and good, but you have to be careful there. The Gallery states that all rights to the images remain with their creator. Now THAT is "ALL sorts of terrible situations and unnecessary scenarios and factions." Before I can get to work thinking of new ideas, I need to know why my first one is no good, or else I'll keep going back to it. One way to improve Renderosity though, outside of financially, might be to stop doing everything behind closed doors. There is a lot of distrust in this place, though it is usually suppressed. One way to eliminate that is to post unedited minutes of Admin/Moderator meetings for all to see. State the charter of this site anew. What are the long range goals of Jack and Co.? What in the heck are "Renderosity Security Issues" outside of preventing the site from being vandalized by hackers? If you guys are trying to create a "Skull and Bones" society within the guise of a 3-d graphics site, well...that's kind of silly. -Dumb_Logic
