Good point Silke. The search engines leave a lot to be desired. The search engine should be capable of booleans, you should be able to specify individual or multiple forums, search message headers or message body or both. I'm under the impression that improving the search engine is on the list...just not sure when it will be started.

I don't mind the "Help pls" posts either. I don't see them as rude or discourteous nor do I see it as a problem. I'll generally read them and offer some help if I can. If it's someone new and you can think of a more appropriate title, help them out by changing the title in your response to the post.

Want to take your gallery and leave because the number of posts has been limited to 1 per day? Fine...see ya...don't let the door hit you in the backside on your way out. Cut your nose off to spite your face if you want. I find these "I'm taking my ball and going home" actions boring and droll. If you really feel a need to test how "valuable" you are to the community...stop posting, remove your gallery without a whisper, and see how many members IM or Email you to find out why you did that.

If you want to do something to effect change...start an email campaign to Tammy with a constructive and rational approach to the issue. If enough members write, they might pay more attention...and if they don't...well at least you can say you made an "adult" attempt at letting your feelings be known and influencing a change.

I've been here since before R'osity became R'osity...in fact, since before the Poser Forum, when all this was a tiny website built by a young woman to share Poser freestuff. I've seen a lot of shit-storms here. The "storm" over the upload limits was fairly minor compared to some, and even the most "torrential storms" had little impact on the outcome even when "emphasized" by a rash of merchants packing up their stores and leaving. Trying to stir up the "townsfolk" into storming the castle with their pitchforks and torches just ain't gonna do much good...there's no "muscle" behind such activities.

The decision may have been made for reasons of bandwidth or for financial considerations...but it certainly wasn't done to regulate anyone's inspiration, limit expression, or devalue anyone's art...and it's seems just plain silly to take it personally and think otherwise! The deed is done...probably won't be changed...time to get over it and move forward. ;^)
