I'm on Renderosity a lot. Not quite my home page, but that's only because I like to follow the news. I've been watching it for the past few months as it struggles to come to grips with it's own growth. Lately, it seems, if something can go wrong here it will. First, the vendor percentage dispute and some good stores being pulled, then the decline in quality in the MP (still some very good stuff, but not as much as there used to be), the hardware/software issues that seem to have slowed the 'sity down, and taken it offline. Banning some major contributers. Cutting down the number of uploads (although I do agree with that). Now removing a respectable site from the webring because it's grown too much, without consulting the site's owner beforehand. It seems like the 'sity is shooting itself in the foot. More and more of my friends seem to have stopped posting, or post very infrequently. The more things like this happen, the less likely vendors will broker here or post free stuff. The fewer vendors with quality items, the less business here. The less business, the more cutbacks and forum traffic. It's true that most people don't really care about the internal politics here, but they are affected when the people who do, who also produce products and freestuff, go somewhere else. Not a good picture. I hope that the 'sity soon reevaluates this specific problem. It may be that one mod was having a bad day, or just didn't recognize the site. ...sigh...
