I agree that it's probably not gonna happen but at least it's an idea. I presume that any solution would have to address the three "reasons" for the changeg mentioned in the thread. IIRC, they were consistency betwen gallery & store, legal liability and something about what sounded like PayPal et al. PayPal isn't changing and they (Renderosity) aren't dropping PayPal. My impression was that changing the MP was because of that issue. Why the need for consistency other than to make the whole place cater to the type of people who see cherubs as kiddy porn, I don't know. For the record, I think those people are as sick as they think I am. As for liability, If they can be busted for a kid in swim trunks then you might as wekk kiss your ass goodbye and move to, as Lincoln said, "...a land where they do not pretend to love liberty and despotism may be taken in it's pure form, undiluted by the base alloy of hypocricy." And yes, Mr. & Mrs. arbiter, though I've only rendered one faerie in my life, I take the kiberty to do so as seriously as you do whatever the devil you think is the true way.

Probably the best way to handle it would be by charging a nominal fee for anyone who wanted access to the "forbidden zone." I don't like that idea and places like Renderotica are still free but what the heck, they turn a profit (very important) and it's the kind of belt and suspenders approach that should appeal. EDIT Sorry, the 3rd reason was "Community Feedback"
