Sorry to say this but this site exists and grew and worked because this site is one of them and grew because of all that and works because of all the 'thataway' that happened here again and again.
Sorry to say this (actually, I'm not sorry to say it) -- but this site experienced much of its growth after the close of the "good 'ol days" which you are referring to.
Much of the history of this place was bashed together by what you call flies now
I've never used the analogy of "flies". That was someone else's point.
In order to qualify as a fly, someone has to actually have the power to annoy.
Roses and tulips and forums full of dancing faires holding hands would have made this website address into a dead link by now instead of the wonderfully big info site it is
If you can find any examples of "roses and tulips and forums full of dancing fairies" around here, then I'd appreciate it if you'd point them out. Personally, I've never seen that. Nor have I seen any attempts to make it that way.
I've only seen reasonable actions to keep things in a more-or-less balanced state. Not to (as some would like to believe - because it fits their paranoid fantasies) turn this into a Disney-esque site.
A note of interest -- threads like this one wouldn't be allowed, if Renderosity were actually being run in the manner which you and others imply.
'Dead link'?
I haven't seen any evidence of that happening.
In fact, it just keeps growing.......especially as the new forum rules are being instituted.
In the meantime -- some other 'open' sites actually have gone to 404 land.....and others have gone to the brink of 404 land......
.......which shouldn't be happening: at least according to the way things are supposed to work out as we've been told by some.
