Quote - II 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)?

It's not a bad idea..but I don't know if that will happen or not. I actually like the Forum idea...I can bring it to the team and see what happens..?

Thanks!  At least someone is listening and even if the team says "thumbs down" I appreciate the consideration.

Again you could even limit the number of Posts per week on an Offsite Product forum and you would have enough control that way to not overshadow the Marketplace forum.  I think it's cool to see Steve Shanks poserworld posts and things new at DAZ and so on and taking myself out of the equation as a merchant, as a Renderosity end-user, I personally like to be able to see what's going on around the community inside of Renderosity.  You're still getting folks coming HERE to see what the latest things are even if they do see an outside link... so what?  The jump-point was Renderosity.  It fosters good community and people will want to come back.

Machineclaw makes a good point and if you read between the lines, even with the most innocent of intentions, folks posting about a new thing at DAZ, for example, in the general forums (which is nothing more than a "Hey! This is cool!" post about something in the poserverse) is just as much advertising, even roundabout.
