Hi again Jen (just back from work). I agree with everything you said in your reply, everything. The problem, however, appears that for a lot of people when they see Renderosity advertised as a community they think commune. Hence often irate and irrational tirades over things which members see as affecting their commune. Shrugs

There are myrid definitions of community too. A good example would be the European Economic Community where each member state does have an input into community policies. In fact, i think a lot of europeans will have this type of community in mind when they see a site advertising itself as a community. I don't think DAZ and Poserpros (first names off the top of my head) have the sorts of problems Renderosity does. Maybe because they are not calling themselves communities? I don't know about 3D Commune, never been an active member there but it would be interesting to find out lol.

Anyway, must go... ravenous 15 year old to feed.
