Morph World closing may be punishing the masses for a selfish few but really, why should Traveller re-open. He closed Morph World once before because people were abusing his generosity and selling his morphs in characters without permission. He asked the community to continue with an old tradition and "give" characters freely, he also requested that his morphs NOT be sold in characters. All it would have taken is someone to ASK him, and as before he would most likely have said yes. But those few didn't. I'm sorry, I've been tempted in the past to pull all of my stuff, I know other people who have, and others who won't share their work because of exactly this sort of abuse. Traveller has obviously had enough. If he decides to open Morph World again, that's up to him, but I would not blame him at all if he stuck a finger up at the community and turned his back permanently. Again, the generosity of someone is taken for granted and abused just to make a few bucks. Well, too bad, those few will now have to do their own work, or fade into the obscurity they deserve. I see no reason why Traveller should re-open Morph World just to be abused by some greedy idiot who hasn't got an ounce of common decency in their bones. It is always the many who suffer at the hands of a few. Life is like that. Guess we'll all just have to learn to make our own morphs rather than taking advantage, neh? It is going to get worse, much worse before it gets better. Morph World is not the first, nor will it be the last. Kindness, generosity, care, all mean nothing in the modern market place where only "me me me" matters. Sorry if this sounds unsympathetic, but I don't blame Traveller at all for his decision, and perhaps this is the only way to get the message across that enough IS enough.
