Hmmm,
I don't know the details of the urban legend, but I was told by a few different people that the missing Rendo period was due to someone hacking and deteling it.
Rendo started as the new home for "The Poser Forum Online". Bandwidth issues existed back then. Bondware wanted a site that could showcase this site software. Willow needed a host.
They have a disagreement. Willow and the others took the site elsewhere, but Bondware kept the concept and renamed the site to Renderosity. Many people left. Many stayed. But in the end, most came back here to Renderosity; myself included.
Bondware and thus Renderosity is owned by Tim Choate. His wife is Tammy Choate. His posts are as rare as the Holy Grail.
In the early days, groups of community members help run Renderosity. Many went off to found other sites, like Poser Pros, Renderotica. etc. Almost everyone was collectively here at one point in time.
It's all a bit hazy, but I tried to keep it generalized.
Want to see Rendo way back then?? lol
