It's amusing to see how Drudge links propagate. :-) "For those of you with burning questions concerning Renderosity's switch to more 'family friendly' or 'professional' fare......here's a link for you." There has been no such switch. Family-unfriendly merchandise continues to be among the biggest-selling in the RMP. The site managers continue to award "adult" content providers with spotlight articles and accolades. The recent TOS restrictions were a common-sense matter that had nothing to do with sales or professionalism per se. While I'm not a major critic of Renderosity or how the RMP is run, there's definitely room for improvement as regards professionalism related to the RMP. However, because great improvements have been made in the past year, that's all I care to say. "Personally, I have no problems whatsoever with maximizing profits." Well, yeah, most of us are card-carrying capitalists, but in the context of membership at this site, many of us have aspirations aside from the mercantile mindset that many "old timers" claim has made the 3D community less community-like. More is not always more. We know what it takes to get high numbers of view "hits" in the galleries, for example, but is that what those with "true" artistic aspirations really want? There are some people in the shallower threads at DAZ Forums who "award" one another with obnoxious blinky emoticons for reaching astronomical posting numbers. OK, so John Doe has 2000 postings to the forum ... how many of them have anything of substance or value about them in the context of the forums' stated purpose? I think people will know what I'm getting at here. While this study and the rather obvious "spin" that some in the media are putting on it are interesting, I don't really see how it relates to Renderosity, given that the implied axiom doesn't really relate here, and is partially disproven when you consider what portion of the best-selling items are "adult." (I sort of hate using that word to mean what we know it means, because so many of those items are so childishly marketed.) As regards art, I prefer significant content to obviously populist overtures, although a balance can clearly be struck. As regards 3D products, I like a bit of everything, including the most innocent and now and then a touch of the naughty. Most content doesn't really fall onto such a spectrum. "Useful" is probably the best qualifier. :-)
