"It will be handled today after an investigation." - Clint

Maybe you should have investigated a bit before release? ;])

"perhaps i have more a more refined sense of humor" - blackhearted

I've known you for almost five years. No "perhaps" about it: you don't.

"i wasted weeks of my time on this bloody thing and the way things are going im going to be left out in the cold along with nine other initial content providers who did absolutely nothing wrong." - blackhearted

Heh. You didn't bother to look at all of the problems with the figure - emminently obvious problems, from the images posted in her release thread - and think that you might possibly be wasting weeks of work on something that was going to bomb out of the gate? You don't think possibly that investing that much time and effort into something that someone as experienced with mesh as you are should have been able to see was "Figure creation Curious Labs style" was doing something wrong?

Self-inflicted wounds don't get you any sympathy, Gabe. You suckered yourself into wasting weeks of work. Call it a learning experience and quit whingeing.

"and ironhbear ur a baaad baaaad puddytat." - Lordfox

;]) I'm bein' downraght laid back here. [And you've seen me on a roll before, you know that's true. g]

"so yeah, im sure i should have looked into it. so should everyone else who worked on her. hindsight is 20/20. but if people are going to start expecting merchants to investigate every single item they product content for then" - blackhearted

This community has seen a solid dozen - at least - of major copyright violations in the past year and a half alone. Quite a number of them here at Renderosity, from various vendors. Some of those vendors fairly high profile. Name 'em, list 'em, and count 'em yourself.

That being the case, "then" maybe merchants need to start investigating things themselves as a matter of course, out of sheer self preservation, ya think?

Gimme a fucking break, Gabe. Your wasted work and that of the 9 other vendors is no one's bloody fault but your own.

"this thread itself wouldnt have come about unless rebekah posted information she gleaned from an ongoing investigation in the merchant forum" - blackhearted

Bloody well good for her. Beats hell out of it being buried "out of sight and out of mind" with all of the membership being oblivious. Not that Renderosity has a known history of giving the membership the mushroom treatment or anything, but... ;])

It's all for the good that this is out in the open, instead of being buried in Merchant's Forum, considering that Rendo released this thing publically expecting unsuspecting members to pony up cash to fund this fiasco. And good on 'Bekah on bringing it out.

And if you want to pull that tired old "agenda" routine on me, gabriel me bucko - name me three agendas you think I have, and I'll own 'em and list you twelve more you hadn't even thought about. I'm pretty straight up on my motivations. ;]

"theyre only here because no doubt threads were posted at PP, rotica, etc to 'go see the shitstorm brewing at rosity', and like flies to a turd they all come buzzing over to make their lame remarks." - blackhearted

Nope. No threads on this at 'Rotica. I just checked. ;]

"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
