Aye, I disagree with both of your rants, Ornlu, although you know that deep down inside I love you to death! Not too many super-tech junkies like us around, and methinks ALL of the Bryce tech junkies are right here at Renderosity. As far as ratings or "votes" and such, last time I checked it wasn't a money-making contest. No amount of votes or clickies or replies will generate a paycheck for anyone. So, that makes it one of two other things, essentially : A popularity contest and ego-boost, OR a simple non-objective opinion generating device. Methinks it's the second one, if you want criticism and suggestions then check the appropriate boxes when you post your work. If you seek an ego boost or greater popularity (and this isn't direct at Ornlu, but at myself and anyone else who has problems with NOT being the God-Emperor of the Universe), then perhaps a local chat group would be of use in taking out one's internal affairs. As for adds, it's the internet, Ornlu. I mean, I hate sex too? (laughs, joking) If reproductive issues bother you, keep the little brother watching Disney channel or Cartoon Network (before Adult Swim comes on at 10PM!)... Sex inspires 100% of us to make art, since without it there would be neither art nor inspiration, nor humans at all! If I'm offensive, pretend I don't exist please. (grins)
