at a happy medium for everyone
That's a great ideal. If anyone ever finds such a condition prevailing wherever human beings are involved in something......then please post a link.
Personally, I'm happy to let the site owners run their site. Whether or not they choose to seriously consider my input occurs at their option. Likewise -- whether or not I choose to participate in the rough 'n tumble of this website occurs at MY option.
I've got enough to do in my own workaday world. I neither need nor do I desire the job of running Renderosity for its owners -- anymore than I want to tell the manager at a local restaurant how to do his job. I don't have to tell him which cooks to hire, or which recipes to use. My own part of the business is far less complicated than that: I merely make a decision over whether or not to eat there.
And that's the true measure of customer satisfaction -- Are They Buying Things......? And in what amounts.......? That represents solid, empirical evidence.
All the rest is pure personal opinion.
As much as some might like to think otherwise: individual members don't run the site. The site owners run the site. And so long as this business is a highly successful one (which it is) -- then they'll most likely keep right on doing what they are doing. In the same manner as they have always done it.
We should all feel free to express ourselves in the forums as we like -- and many do. But the management is under no obligations whatsoever to follow our 'constructive suggestions' (read: Orders).
Perhaps it's a self-flattering illusion for us to convince ourselves that we exercise a significant degree of control over how things are done around here. Sure, the management takes what we have to say into consideration -- to a point. But only to a point.
shrug The Marketplace is doing very well. So......I'm inclined to think that somebody at the top knows at least a little bit about what they are doing here.
Nothing succeeds like success. And Renderosity is a success.
If others feel that they can do it better in a different way -- then please open up a website, and start selling things. If the store/site culture is good enough, then people might buy something from you. Message edited on: 01/19/2006 17:36
