To all the great artists and merchants.... Please, If the changes to this site are getting you down and you are not impressed with it and are deciding to quit selling here, then for goodness sake please leave us (the customers) with a forwarding message to where you can be found and where you will be, please don't leave us hanging in mid - air unable to find you! PXP

I won't be leaving. The new look and feel are very far from what I want but I understand there is still a lot of work to do. At least the site is functional if not pretty. I'm happy to hang on in there and wait. Anyhow, I have new stuff out soon, so I'd be stupid to pack my bags now. :biggrin:

SamTherapy: Thanks for your encouraging reply. I hope that other merchants will follow your lead and adopt a patient attitude and stay with it. Its so sad when a great artist leaves, then something good goes and we completely loose track of their work and where they are. PXP

Uh? Why should we stop selling here just because the forum has changed its looks? It's not like it is the first time this happens Granted, this time it is a more radical change, but since it is, at least potentially, to the better - people have been complaining about the antiquated .ez forums for years and years - it would be silly to leave now when it has all options of being better than ever :m_grin:

Yep my fianc Valea and i also stay, because we like Renderosity, even with the little glitches and errors. It is like a virtual home. :-) Marko

Hmmm. I liked the old look of the forums a heck of a lot better. As the old saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'm sure that they'll pretty the graphics up a bit with time. As for the rest.....I haven't seen any indications of a hysterical, pell-mell rush for the exits. Just the opposite, in fact. There are a ton of new merchants knocking on the front door. And more coming every day.

seen a lot of changes in my time as merchant here, and none of them have made me think of jumping ship.

Ya don't get rid of me that easy either LOL. The old forum was kinda like a comfy old shoe but I guess I'll get used to the new one. For me, it feels a little "cramped"...I liked the "wide open spaces" of the old look better but what do I know :) Kym

I'm not gonna up and leave either as a merchant (my status as a MOD not withstanding). I may branch out to other sites though just to spread the love. :) -T

Are merchants really leaving because of a change in the forum software? This seems a little silly since there are so many other, more important issues that would cause a merchant to quit. --John

No.

I have yet to see one instance of any merchants even discussing leaving over the new forum changes.

I'm certainly not going to pack up and leave because it doesn't look pretty :D

I wouldn't mind if some of the whiner's posting about how badly this new stuff sucks in multiple threads would leave actually. Isn't one thread about not liking the new forum enough to wade through? :b_overwhelmed: :b_rolleyes:
