"Another step in the conversion from a community to a shopping mall" I think this is the closest we will get to the truth behind this decision. Renderosity is obviously not run as an art community, it's run as a shopping mall where people happen to gather and interact. This makes it different from other 3D art sites. The other sites are built around a community. They interact with the community and they embrace it. They understand that a community sometimes is about discussion, argumentation, exchange of ideas and opinions. They can also handle these aspects of a community. Not Renderosity. Renderosity only wants a shopping mall where people follow the rules to the last letter and behave. No discussions, no opinions. An artists community is like any other community. It lives from the opinions and contributions from the members. To believe that arists only have opinions about artistic matters is ridiculous and naive. Spike, you have to make a decision here. Do you want a community or a shopping mall?
