Well, Marty, you've made me break my personal vow not to contribute anymore to this badnwidth hog. I have to say that you have certainly been a gentleman throughout this and I think you summed it up about as well as can be done. I know that there are many people who will regret losing the opportunity to purchase your products here. I hate to fault Renderosity, but it does seem suspiciously like they are content to make as much money as possible off a product and then yank it when someone complains. As in your case, the TOS are meaningless if you fold like a cheap wallet at the first sign of dissent. Animotions is a "family" site, always has been. I think Renderosity is caught in an identity conflict, trying to be all things to all people and folks like you end up getting screwed. I think really, this is a site for adults and older children who's parents don't mind them seeing any more than they'd see in an art museum or at the beach when they have the filter set. Realistically though, there will always be some who still use any reason for limiting what the adults can see to their own level of comfort. I don't understand that, never have and probably never will. I suppose those on the other side of the argument are equally perplexed at my attitude. It's like Jerry falwell sitting down with Anton LaVey (founder of the Church of Satan) to discuss religion - pretty much a waste of time. I really hope that you take a break and consider your options. Certainly you can sell at Renderotica, Thralldom and probably other sites as well. Heck, find a cheap business host and set up a PayPal account - sell the stuff yourself and keep most of the money. Whatever you do, don't keep your talent to yourself. If you do that then you've truly let other people impose their values on you. As I now find myself frequently quoting... "Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." - Emiliano Zapata
