You know I suppose that I have a personal stake in this argument as I do promote my site products in the Product Showcase (as it was).  However, I also posted coming soon to Renderosity (when I did and now do) have a rendo store as I know there is a wait during testing.  So someone who'd rather shop at Rendo could feasibly wait a week for it to come here.

Anyways, I feel that if folks here believe that offsite product postings - in the Product Showcase or gallery - are really burying Renderosity Marketplace postings, why not just create a new forum for Offsite Product Postings (and even limit those to one per week per poster)?  I think that would better benefit the community as a whole... honestly ;)

My 2 cents.
