Gee, I can't imagine why Renderosity would be reluctant to have merchants advertise via emails that they are going to other sites to sell. Let's count how many sites advertise their competitors for free. Hmmm...I can't think of any. But Renderosity does let merchants from any site advertise for free in the Product Showcase. That seems fairly liberal to me. I don't like seeing favorite merchants leave to other sites, but I think it is unrealistic for those merchants who have made that choice to feel they have a right to advertise the other site using all of Renderosity's resources. Certainly Renderosity gains nothing from having that much good will about the whole thing. The merchants have choices to make, just like the administrators here do, and just as the customers have. Renderosity is under no obligation to advertise for free other sites. The customers are under no obligation to follow the merchants to other sites. I'm afraid the responsibility for maintaining customer lists rests with the merchants themselves...the cost of doing business. That is a reality of any site, not just this one. The merchants who are leaving are making their choices...sorry, guys, you have to live with the results of those choices, which may include the tedious notification process on your lonely.
