"There must be a reason for that......but I can't possibly figure out what it could be.........? " It certainly isn't the site's management and ownership overall, Xeno. Renderosity advertises better, period. They spend more money on it. Money earned from the sales of merchant's goods and a few services. THere is only one other company active that has the kind of resources that Renderosity has, and they haven't used them in the same way because that company has a different focus - but note that they are just as large. To pretend that it has anything to do with being better is foolish. Better is not always a matter of size, or age, or number of free things.
