Well, here is what I think: though I may be more blase than some people here with regard to the competitive air of this website, I agree with the well-stated criticism by Cruel Animal and Fractalgrrl. I believe that ratings and view numbers simply have no place in a true art community. Further, when talented artists like Terry and Deagol leave a community, and those Poser manglers run amok, there is a problem. If Renderosity wants to address the issue of artistic integrity, and the loss of valuable talent, they will act. If they are only interested in the mercenary point of view, they will not. Let's find out. I think a good idea would be to have a petition written and passed around, and when/if a large number of their members express their like-minded feelings about this matter, perhaps the administrators will do something about it. It certainly couldn't hurt to try. Mindy
