Because of the changes in policies over the past year and a half, this has gone from my favorite store and Poser site to my third or fourth.  I go out of my way to try to find out if merchants sell items in other stores or contact them via e-mail to set up a paypal transaction if I'm not in a time-sensitive situation.  An RMP purchase is the last resort.

Instead of coming in to the boards to complain incessantly about the changes, I decided to vote with my wallet.  I have cut my spending in this store by 54% since the announcement of the new gallery thumbnail policy, over the same period the year prior.  I also cut my Gallery Plus subscription.  I'm sure I'm not the biggest spender in this store, but I do know that I spend a non-trivial amount of my salary on Poser / rendering content, and it's the only way I can really show that I don't agree with the "cleaning up" of the galleries.

While I don't want it to seem I'm all sour grapes, I will readily admit that this store has probably the widest selection of content available anywhere, with quality that is higher than several other sites out there.  The quality control for the store here does a very good job of keeping it that way.

I also still post here because the remaining Poser community is second to none.  However, do to the aforementioned policy changes, many talented and friendly faces have moved on to greener pastures.  Too many.  All I can think is, it didn't have to be this way.
