Vile, It sounds like you're very frustrated with the direction that Renderosity may be taking. Change is always difficult, especially when we don't agree with the direction of the change. However, things that never change have a tendancy to become stagnant, and eventually just fade away. What we can all do is voice our opinions and thoughts; beyond that, it's out of our control. Having said that, the way we make our opinions and thoughts heard is just as important. Who would you be more likely to listen to: someone who accuses and resorts to name calling, or someone who can present their argument in a clear and constructive way? It's often like gallery comments--simply saying "this sucks" isn't very helpful. I suspect that was the point that AgentSmith was trying to make (my opinion only, AgentSmith is quite capable of speaking for himself). And, as for our community--it will be what we make it. If we let our anger and frustration get the better of us, then this won't be a very pleasant community to be a part of. If we can continue with our values and our sharing and learning (the very virtues that prompted me to say "Hi" a few months ago), then the community will continue to be a great place to be. Just my $.02. Michael
