This is just a hobby for me and I'm a newby to this site and the community in general. I have never contributed anything though. Instead I am one of the many people who are drawn to this site by the talented contributors that appear here. I check out Renderosity everyday. I look at new items on the online store ( I'm all about medieval settings and got my eye on a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff! ;-D ). Then I go and DL any of the new free stuff that looks interesting. I can't express how great I think it is that these talented contributors share their work, it's terrific. My point is, if Edgenet upsets the contributors then people like me who generate hits and revenue have no reason to show up. If it is all about money for Edgenet as some assert then they should recognize when they are doing themselves more damage than good from being greedy. On the other hand if Edgenet wants to perpetuate the communal atmosphere that has been grown and developed over time by many devoted people then they better listen carefully to the people (primarily the contributors) who comprise the community. Without them you have just another forum. There are lots of sites out there with a few models and some textures and you know what, I don't get around to visiting them very often..... BTW. Very level headed and pertinent comments by Nightshade and Crescent. If Jack and Ed come up with a better solution, I will visit there. In the same respect if Edgenet continues to give me a reason to show then I will. Let the chips fall where they may.
