Permit me to quote myself from post #26 in this thread:
*This idea has been suggested before in various formulations.
The problem with the thought of a "separate" forum is that unlike in Las Vegas, what happens in the "separate" forum doesn't stay there. It ends up by spreading the joy all around the rest of the site.
In fact, the things that "happen" (it's not an accident) in Las Vegas don't stay there either, but it makes for good -- although completely fake -- PR to claim that it does.*
So......dear soul.........you've got a good reason for not having such a separate forum.
At Renderosity, they've had plenty of experience with open-debate type forums. C&D, OT, and the Den.
As they say (dear soul) -- 3rd time's the charm.
Or the deal-breaker.
Please, don't inadvertently or directly state otherwise on my behalf. Much appreciated.
Seeing as how I did not "inadvertently or directly" say that you in particular had any objections regarding Rendo's right to run their own business.......
.....then your point here escapes me.
(Dear soul)
However, I was answering the posts of others.
My comments above were supportive of free speech and of another poster's 'suggestion' for an 'alternative' OT forum where all could go to on a ''voluntary'' basis. IF renderosity was so interested. I find it quite interesting that you seem to be speaking for Renderosity, itself. I think they are sufficiently more than capable to speak for themselves, imho.
Where did I say that I spoke for Renderosity?
I speak for something a bit more basic: common sense.
And realism -- as it concerns watching overwhelming success come to those sites that do things in a certain way......as opposed to different ways.
I always find it amusing when the very people that are running the most successful website in the business are repeatedly told that they don't know what they are doing.
As for the patronizing tone, dear soul -- that works about as well as the P6 firefly render engine with the memory bug in full activation.
Try again, dear soul.
My point above was simply if you, or anyone here, doesn't like my works posted
That's the second time that you've said something about "not being liked".
Sally Field?
I suspect that most of us don't know you well enough to make such an assessment. I certainly don't.
Being liked isn't high on my list of priorities.
But seeing things clearly is.
