I have this amazing banner ad filter, it seemed to come standard in my brain, if the heading on this post had a gif animation selling nude pictures of my wife I didn't notice it. I'm so used to diregarding banners and logos on web pages it took me a while to FIND the store. I don't feel preasured. And personally I like the new things in free stuff more than anything in the store, yet a nother huge dot com expired yesturday, there is no money in e-comerse, I WISH Renderosity and the artist's could make some money with the store but that seems real damn unlikly to me, does Zygote even make any money to speak of from us with all the free stuff that the good people circulate freely? THE most important thing to me is LoboUK statement, that you won't be banned or deleated so long as you aren't talking Warez. So long as the moderators don't censor us we have NO reason for complaint. I was afraid that with the store a post by me about something like the new $15 175 prop Poser colection CD by CAL would be unwelcome, but time and time again the administration has affirmed thier comitment to preserving our free speach. This whole site is just a gift to us. People fade back because they are burned out, between ideas, etc. Then they got refreshed and come back. Its up to all of us to keep this an exciting and interesting site to draw them back by posting our images and ideas and responses... but its true, the praise worthy are due thier praise. If you make something good that hundreds or even thousands of people use and you are lucky to get a half dozen "thank you"s and "here look what I did with it" e-mails it must be pretty disapointing, I've seen instances ewhere truly impressive contributions are taken pretty much for granted, that may be true here, Travaler fortunately has gotten the tribute he deserves but as far as Poser goes the honor rolls should be pretty long. We can say thank you, and we can try to show the good stuff we make from thier work, that is our obligation to them. AND running this forum is a valuable and praise worthy as any transmap or hair prop or breast morph that ever showed up in the Free Stuff it make possible. Marque, you are doing your job around here, making posts, answering posts, that is ultimately what we have to offer. I think there has been a Malaisse in postings lately, but we ARE the content here, so its up to US to make things more exciting. My personal gesture was my attempt to strat debate on Realism vs. Painterliness in renders, I can very nice responses but it didn't spark the debate I had hoped for... what we need is inteligent but inflamitory posts around here to spice things up! `dan
