You should get over the notion that Renderosity is a community. It is a business, period. It is a business that likes to foster the image of a community, but it is in the end, a business. The forums, galleries, etc. only exist to bring people to the site in the hopes that they will go to the store and spend money. The forums and galleries are marketing tools. I agree. I don't actually care about being able to carry on off-topic discussions here, by the way. I have other places where I can do that. I just wish Renderosity would stop the pretense of being a community for artists, when it really isn't. If you're a wolf, don't wear sheep's clothing, and if you're a capitalist business, don't claim to be a commune, that's all. bonni
