I went to several 3D sites early on just looking to see what it ws all about. I stayed away from sites that you HAD to sign up for to even get anywhere on the site for a year or two. Just got tired of so many logins and passwords and having to registar at every site I can across. So I stayed away from rendo for a long time, same with some of the other sites. Finaly I had to give in and registar all over the place to get the freebies and post images and so on. No problem as I am more involved in it all now.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is it would be good for "outsiders" (lol) to be able to at least look at the gallery images without having to sign up. If they want the same benifits as rendo members then yes, they should join but it would be good to give an idea of what the site, the community is all about.
