Hello, First, please let me state that I want NO ONE to feel forced into coming with Ed and I. That solves nothing and goes against EVERYTHING that we have sought to accomplish with the Community. Our first goal is to find out if we sink money into a program and website and domain name, if the Community would support us and come there and pay us a visit. We promise to give the same level of commitment to the Community there, as we have given over at Renderosity. Also, if Renderosity still provides a service to the Community, then it would be best that the Community also visit there. Do I see them as honestly being able to provide that support? Find individuals that will work 17 hour days, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for the same treatment that Ed and I received or less.... GOD I HOPE NOT!! If someone is considering it, BE CAREFUL!!! It happened to Willow and Grey, it happened to Ed and I... odds don't look good in your favor... just my opinion, I could be wrong... but.... But if Renderosity does offer support that the Community needs, why should any of you suffer losing that support due to loyality to Ed or I. I could never ask that of any of you. Edgenet took control of Renderosity from Ed and I, we are powerless there... but not here, here on Renderotica, I hold the power of control and EN has been locked out of the server. I will still pay for the software that I use, that is only fair, but at first chance even R'otica will get the new software package being made. As for you images, freestuff or Online store items, if you do NOT wish them to be on Renderosity or in control of Edgenet, I ask that you tell TIM (tchoate@edgenet.com) that you wish those items to be removed FOREVER via e-mail, express to them failure to do so will be termed as violation of copyright of your property!! I have no control over these things anymore, because of that, it will be up to you. Even if I had done it MYSELF for you, Edgenet keeps a backup of it and would only put it back up. According to the contract, which may be voided now by Tim, I am supposed to continue to pull a profit off of Renderosity till Nov. 4th 2000 and be in charge of paying the artists out of the check they ship me. As I said, THIS MAY NO LONGER BE THE CASE and if you want to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that you get what is due or owed to you, you should address this issue with Tim Choate from Edgenet (tchoate@edgenet.com) and ask him, or ask to have your stuff pulled. Ed and I believe we have a means for the Venders, who decides to stick with Ed and I, a way to continue to have their products purchased, without losing any income. I will have more information regarding that on Monday. Either way, your goals are our primary concern, I only hope that if Edgenet finds someone to take mine and Ed's place, that it will be their's as well. Will it be Edgenet's? I think Ed and I have spoken enough about that... don't you? Thanks for the support and e-mail!! Love ya!! Jack
