One thing I do know... Renderosity Photograpy section is running on a free ride on the back of a 3D art site. I am so lucky to be a part of a site which allows such huge file uploads, and extensive galleries.For Free! I joined many many other sites, and this is by far the best one out there. I challenge anyone to show me a better one. Seeing Pete go...sure is is hearbreaking. No one likes to see good photographers leave. Nope...not even me.Thoug some may not believe that. But I dislike seeing negativity and the dragging up of issues that have nothing to o with peoples own memberships. The Politics of this site are really fair. You read (or are supposed to read) a TOS before joining. The sign in aggreance. If a member interferes with the operations of the site, they are warned. Do it again, they are warned again. 3 Times it is a tempprary ban. Keep doing it after that time and time again, and it is a permanent ban. Why should other members suffer at the hands of others who see fit not to adhere to the guidleines. It's not a free for all site where people think the right to everything in the world is at thier hands here. It's a website. Owned privately. Specifically for people to share and perhaps make money from art. Many people who announce thier leaving usually return. For that I am happy. I do find it a waste of emotion deleting a whole gallery that took in some cases years to create. If a memeber tells me they are leaving I sure do not post it out publicly,because that brings more upset, and a lot of extra time involved having to read all the negative comments in the aftermath. If I left, I would just leave. Not make it a public statement. I would probably end up returning too, and would look like an idiot for causing so much outbreak th first time. I do like posting birthdays and other fun events. I love this community.
