I have just spent the better part of an hour reading through all the postings, I believe that if the debate continues it will tear the community apart and I for one think its pointless. I am 38 years old and as long as I can remember I have been an artist. My mother passed it down to my brothers and they passed it on to me. I scribbled and sculpted, I drew pictures on anything I could find and I never got anything less then an A+ in art class. Then when I got this computer along with Bryce,Poser,Photoshop and others I was finally able to do the kind of art I have always wanted to do. Not long after Baldiman,( great artist and friend ) visited our web site and told us (Jackie and I)about Renderostiy. I fell instently in love with this place. The people were great and the art work was amazing. I found I was small beans in a big pot and all those years of A+s in art class led up to this. I was thrilled!!! Well,,today I pulled all my pictures off the walls. It hurt to pull my gallery out of a place that has given me so much joy,but right is right. If I may quote my dear friend Jackie, "Im with the good guys!" I hate seeing Jack and Ed get screwed. They made this place what it is and it WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT THEM. Everyone can do whatever they want. I want to say something to Jack and Ed,,I hope you guys are listening. This place was blessing for me and I believe in my heart that what ever new adventure you dream up, you will have the support of people like me. I dont want to post here if its a place where the community is not thought of first. Thats what its all about,,US! And you guys were looking out for us and we are forever greatful but your job is not over my friends,,,give us another place to post our work and be a part of something like this once was..Keep the faith, we are with you.
