The Rendrosity community is made up of members who have a passion for helping others learn - share and grow in 2D/3D art -The participation and interaction among members has slowly built a family and a place known as a "home" - There are 159,000 active members - 8000 new members per month and 57 forums - These words are from Rend. Mission statement info - It is true about the communities evolution - I have experienced this - Art is the common denominator for this - 57 forums for expression - No forum is without it merits and faults - I am sad to see Artists being judgemental about forums in which they do not participate - This serves no meaningful perpose - As a objective observation on the limit issue - it would appear at first glance a contradiction to the Renderosity community - as Art is the medium of expression and communication and a additional limit on art is to put a limit on the communities abitity to share and grow - The reason that has been given is to ease the load on the gallery data base - However for $60 a year/per artist the load on the data base would be eased and all would return to as it had been ! - You may draw your own conclusion - Some have for thier own reasons stated that they could not manage enough work to post even 1 work a day - Therefore it would seem this sould be a mute issue to them - I expect most understand that some forms require more attention in some areas than others - For example a photo does not take as long as hand painting of the same object - But that does not mean it is lesser in artistic value - For me I fear this may be a negative direction for this site - I am open for input and will be the first to admit I am frequently wrong - I hope that is the case here - Thank You and take care -
