In 100 years, it'll all be vitally important. Guaranteed. Exactly, if I am assuming correctly that this comment was said "tongue in cheek." Life is too short to spend it arguing or complaining all the time. In the "old days" (before Al Gore invented the internet, that is LOL) we dealt directly with the people that made a product if we were unhappy with it. We had warranties and lemon laws. There was such a thing as "customer satisfaction." I still try to live by that rule. And I know that there are still people around who live by that rule! We didn't publish it in newspapers or broadcast it on television when we were unhappy with something, which is about the equivalent of what dragging it through the forums is. Here on the Internet, the whole world becomes aware of things that may not be true, because opinions are often formed on only one side of the story, before the other side has a chance to speak their case. There is a forum here to deal with complaints and concerns relating to marketplace items. There is another forum to deal with copyright issues. In this forum we are able express satisfaction or dissatisfaction with Renderosity's issues (if I am mistaking the purpose for this forum, I apologize!) If you aren't happy with something I made, take it directly to me. I wouldn't appreciate hearing it second hand on the forums. I suspect CL, DAZ, Rendo, and others would appreciate the same kind of consideration, and would react the same as I would. They would try to correct the problem in some way. So far, those who have been vocal about the religious and political discussions have been heard. Those who spoke out against "fairy porn" have been heard. But those of us who are asking to tone down the overall volume of these forums have NOT been heard. And all we are asking is that the forums get cleared of the clutter so that people can focus on what they are here for ... ART!
