My opinion is that the 'The List' is utter bullshit, pandering to a mythical 'industry standard' that I have yet to see defined =anywhere=. Which industry? Which part of that industry? I do not buy textures sight unseen; I did that -once-....and found the vendor in question had painted the underwear onto the figure, rendering it useless for anything but a static shot as an Sears Catalog model. I understand being careful of the millkids, but a simple offsite link to the texture, with enough watermarking to make it unuseable, would solve that. Claiming that the likes of Miki and GIRL are underaged is ludicrous, and having lived in TN all my life, sounds a lot like: 1) Someone 'got Religion' and is going to use their power to save the heathens, like it or not. 2) A piddly little church group is threatening to call the Southern Baptist Convention on the pervs. 3) A local DA is up for election and is looking for an easy mark to look righteous to the voters 4) There is a delusion that you can somehow get off the Netnanny databases as a pron site once you get onto them (Most of them arrange it so you can't; once tarred, always tarred). And the library access to the store is pretty much a boondoggle, at least here, due to the fact that libraries don't want their IP addresses logged as purchasers of dubious material no matter what it is. 5) It's also very interesting, at least to me, that nine of the lists entries are not DAZ originals....and the ones that are aren't flagship by any stretch. If the plan is to 'cleanse' the site, then just do it. Get it over with so the artists and vendors don't have this pseudo-moralistic Sword of Damocles hanging over their head. The other sites can certainly use the massive influx of talent they would get, and 'rosity could fade into the heat-death of the lowest common denominator, where it seems to want to be.
