Hi Luna. smiles back at ya. I know a little about what goes on behind the scenes here. What Tim did was standard practice all over the net. And in some cases. The moderators are not even given a chance to stay. They are just wipped out before anything happens. Tim gave them a chance. Someone screwwed it up for the whole team. And that was enough for Tim to do what was necessary to keep it from happening again. I would do the same thing. Lets face it. If the person who caused the trouble was booted. The other moderators would use that as an excuse to follow in his/her footsteps. If you don't think that's true. Then you haven't been here long enough. It's not exactly fair to the few mods that wouldn't be so childish (like Kevin for example). But there is no other way to protect against future attacks. And I'm not sure if Tim knows the mods well enough to pick and choose who can be trusted. And who can't. There's always one or two bad apples that spoil it for the rest. Don't let it eat at ya too much. This has all happened before. And Renderosity thrived. That alone should tell ya the deal. But either way. Losing Renderosity would be bad for everyone as a whole. Poser sites are scattered all over the net. But this site pulls them together. I'm confident. It always will. But hey. I could be wrong. "Always clouded is the future" smileys ScottA
