Why have the showcase forum anyway?

In my situation, heres why not. But I could care less either way.

I come home, go to renderosity. I first hit the galleries, Ill run through about 10 pages until I hit where I left off from my last log in.

Then I go to free stuff and see what has been added everyday since my last visit.

Then I go to the market place and do the same procedure as I did in free stuff. If theres something that catches my attention, I click on it and check it out.

Then I hit the forums and do the same process.

Now, I dont mind the product placing in the poser forum, as long as its NOT the same renders and description of the product I just looked at ten minuets ago. So if the merchants are going to advert their products, at least use a different render and description. If not, theres no real reason to have a product showcase, right? I just finished looking at the same picture a few minuets ago in the market place.
