Well from the comments I have gleamed from JenyK and several other sources it seems painfully clear that the real problem is that there are "no admin" in here full time...these people work for Bondware in other capacities and may in fact only check in here on a coffee break or something.Most of the time when you contact them by pm or email its the only way to get a response...this would also explain why so much happens in the forums and gallerys that they are totally oblivious to even though they are the one's listed as overseeing that area of the site.They are paid employees of "Bondware" of which rosity is only a part...they are appointed to these positions and because of their other dutys they don't have the time needed to watch the site like they should.

If this is the case then it revs things up one more notch...cause you can't blame overworked employees of a corporation for the greed of their employer.I worked for a firm in 1989 that had been successful on a local level for years,then they started getting a lot of big contracts and rather than hire new people to handle it...the owner forced his existing employees to do it because he didn't want to pay additional salarys and benefits.We couldn't keep up,people were overworked,quality diminished and deadlines were missed...there was no one who could tell Mr Pierpont what was in his own best interest cause he was boss and didn't have to listen to anyone~so the businesses reputation falterred and in 1992 he lost everything because even local businesses wouldn't use his services.The irony being that one of his competitors did hire new employees and even hired us when the business collapsed...they were willing to spend money to make money,they grew so prosperous they moved their hq to NYC and Pierpont fell into such dispair he committed suicide in 1995~thats the difference between understanding the foundation of your success so that it flourishes and the despair that one can sink into when the weight of losing everything because they didn't understand what becoming a victim of your own success can mean.

Rosity does not make product,it is a free market and its the merchants that sell product...rosity is a community and its the community that the members are here for.You can buy the products sold on rosity anywhere and more merchants that formerly only sold on rosity are now moving to other sites...if events like this aren't dealt with then the sole reason why members traffic here and why merchants choose to sell on rosity will be lost.

I don't think people are looking at the big picture on this as I have done.I have hammered Jeny because she should never have done this on her own~I can also accept her apology for doing this and since reperations are underway to put the images back we should forgive.However,Jeny has also repeatedly stated that the admin knew nothing about this which is ludicrously false and comes off as an attempt to put blame on the members...but moreso,it is also a slam against the admin because the only way they could not know is if they are never in the forums unless someone pm's them and they are never in the gallerys~ummm,guys~then who is running this site?

What rosity needs is at least one admin whose sole job is to monitor the site,to handle public relations and to communicate with the admin...erm,could get someone like that easily guys and I bet at far less than what you pay the existing admin.

I have been in here hammering away hoping to get other admin to step forward and correct some of the implications of Jenys actions,but the fact that they haven't and must wait til next week to get together on this kinda reinforces what I say about the admin not being involved in whats going on in here as it shouldn't take a week when they can get on any instant messenger and have a conference among themselves.If they had someone over public relations as I advise,all of this may have been avoided because they would be in here watching the site and any action that might be taken by Jeny would first be submitted to this person to see what they know...if they know nothing about the issue or think its something for discussion,it would also be their job to contact the other admin to discuss the matter.

Rosity is still set up like a small site in regards to its TOS,its set up as a corporate holding in regards to its administration and its so large its no longer capable of managing the very elements that are the foundation of its success.

Marvel Comics went through a period where due to the greed of the comic book industry,they raised prices beyond what they were worth to consumers...Marvel was the leader in this and as their profits dropped,they came to rely on a core group of artists whose popularity was the sole reason why they had not become insolvent.When these artists realised this and wanted the publisher to create a new line for them that they would share a level of control and profit in,Marvel balked~the artists formed their own company called Image Comics and Marvel went into bankruptcy.The thing with Marvel is that they own and create their own copyrighted material...thus regardless of who owns the copyrights,the products will survive and we will probably be familiar with Spiderman and his cohorts for centuries to come.Renderosity does not have this...if it loses member support and merchant faith in their ability to make money for them,rosity will be no more.But it won't just be rosity~when Marvel went bankrupt it was a conglomerate holding numerous businesses and investments that nobody understood would go belly up if the comic book line falterred because everything was built upon it!!Thus,Bondware and every holding Tim Choate possesses could likewise go belly up if Bondware is built upon the success of Renderosity in any way...the irony of Marvel Comics is that the value of the company fell so much that they are now owned by a company they once owned,so maybe Bondware will survive.

I do not come to this with no understanding of whats going on in a general sense...I understand public relations and I understand that you must put forth every effort to ensure that the foundations of your success remain strong and profitable...in this case the foundation is the community itself and the issue here is that the community is suffering from the current policys employed by the owners.Simple enough to fix...but the people in charge of fixing it must be capable of understanding what the problem is.Apparently the owners aren't involved...the admin are basically employed for other roles at Bondware unrelated to this site and have little time to devote here...so umm,whose minding the store?

Hire some people to handle the site exclusively,to manage public relations and coordinate the admin...thats the only answer!!

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
