Really. That's all. The only time I'd ever go there was when I thread I was following was moved. I didn't see the flame war (but it must of been a good one). And, since the 'sity isn't really a community, they can do what they want. We forget that. It's a business. They have forums and galleries to get us to come here to buy the products they broker. "see the pretty forums... see all the messages... look at the pretty pictures other people have made... now see the banners and look at our marketplace, and maybe you can make pretty pictures too". It's not about art. It's about profit. That's not bad, it's just the way it is. Maybe some nice rich person could start a community site. Until someone does, we have to make use of these commercial sites and live with their rules and rulings. Of course, the community feel we'd all gotten used to is what really kept us here and buying. Side note to the mods: Can you guys at least try to be a little more friendly in a post like this? No offense, but the original post sounded like a father talking to his two year old after the poor kid was caught drawing on the walls.
