Clues? ... You gave us clues? :lol:

Ha ha, I know the answer but I won't spoil it for everyone else.
I'll post my answer here in, um, 'bout 5 weeks.

Oh, tell me now via PM and I'll model something of your choice (within reason and subject to scheduling).

My guess is when rendo uploads their new site graphics.  

A few people already tried that one...

Sincerely the clues you gave us didn't make the light for me...

Let's recap the clues:

• August 17th
• Strictly related to Renderosity
• Not related to Poser
• "Gallery culture"
• Not very tactful of me to point this out
• There's a pattern involving August 17th of previous years and I expect it to continue

.... I couldn't really make it any more obvious...

SAY WHAT?  Tell YOU? Ha ha ... I don't need to tell you 'cuz you already know the answer, right? :lol:

And, thanks for the offer to model something but my HDD overfloweth constantly so thanks ...
... but no thanks. :biggrin:

I tried searching the galleries for that day, but I can't get the stupid search function to work so I pretty much give up.

The only thing I can thing of is like art trades or a game of art tag (one person does a render and nominates someone else).

Hmmm, the announcement of yet another new rule/policy to the gallery or anywhere else on the site?

or change  in the TOS here at rosity

Yup ........... every August 17th ......... just like clockwork. :lol:

I checked and the last time the TOS was actually updated was August 20, 2007.  

why do I get the feeling even when were told, were all going to go "what?"

Or, "is that all it was"?

That pretty well sums it up for me.

Are we talking about the Dog Days of summer?

Does that have anything to do with the clues?

I wish I could make this thread not appear on my screen so I could forget it. I have terminal curiosity and for no good reason at all I have to know what this is about. Each time another post comes, I open it hoping to see the answer, finally.

No joy. LOL

Is it a sale day?

what was I doing on Renderosity last Aug 17. my memory is poof

Keep lookin BB i got the courosity bug too hope we see an answer soon

I have so little interest in what this is all about that I just have to post something to let you all know how uninterested I am.

Oh, wait. That was someone else's line, sorry.

I've also got the curiosity bug!

Damn you. I thought this was going to be it!

even if we get the right answer i get the feelin we aint gonna know till the 17th of august

I just love that! Each time i see the mail saying there is a reply to this thread, i'm getting exited! LOL

Why do people keep ignoring the clues?  Very disappointing.

If someone guesses the answer and either states it here in the thread, or PMs me, the "prize" has been named.  If the answer gets PM'd to me I probably won't reveal it in the thread though.

User Mondwin uploads an image once a year, on August 17th.
Some people are bothered that this particular user gets a lot of comments and places high on art-charts.

It's a bit of a non event, really.

Connie wins!  Although you're at least as good a modeler as I am, what would you like?  Within reason and scheduling permitting.

Ah - well I'm glad that's settled.

Now that we know the answer, I can at least tell you why I seemed to ignore the clues. (You did ask heheh)

I have no idea who you're talking about.
I don't pay any attention to the gallery reaction to popular artists.

I, too, tried to research the galleries for images loaded on that date, but the search engine won't give any results with a date range alone. You have to already know what you're looking for.

Had I known that "Are you ready?" was a completely irrelevant question for me, I wouldn't have bothered reading.

But I guess I'm ready. LOL

I'll ignore it like I ignore every other day in the galleries.

's okay, you can donate the model to someone else :)  

I haven't been doing that much posering for fun, so making something would be sort of wasted on me.  Perhaps watch the forum for people asing for stuff, and make a random pick.

And i repeat, "is that all it was"??

I'm glad I just found this thread now.  I would have hated to be kept waiting for days to find out that it's about nothing.  I'm more interested in St. Hyacinth, frankly.

now  somebody ask Mondwin "why aug 17"?
no, wait, I just checked - it isn't always aug 17.  they look like photomanips, mostly.
I only spotted one nudie pic on the first page.

That's it? This has to be the most asinine and inane thread I've ever read and replied to in 10 years of being online.......

But then that's pretty much what I was expecting.

well that was a huge non-event.

Too much free time on hand.

You've got to give that artist his/her props for the works posted tho ... They are very good.  Not sure I would really want to know when he/she post his/her next work but like someone said... It really a non-event....

Who is Mondwin?

:crying:I was hoping it would be the day pjz99 would get rid of the tongue avatar.   No offense meant -I know mine might be annoying to some -  but yours really grosses me out.  :scared:

Thanks for the light-hearted entertainment, Paul, and everyone else who contributed to it.

But I'm sorry, I can't let this go: I was at first quite surprised at rendo admin for ignoring the unnecessarily rude and judgemental nature of some of the comments here. But possibly they appreciate that those who make such comments are just showing themselves up.... I don't know.

It's left a nasty taste in my mouth, but a glass or two of wine and an early night should put all to rights once more. :O)

izi, some of the responses may have been negative if they were bummed out that they couldn't guess the right answer.  personally I didn't feel bad. it's like the Second Pepperpot in the exploding penguin sketch: she wouldn't like knowing the answer to everything, that'd take all the mystery out of life.

my latest theory is that mondwin's birthday is aug. 17.

We have Galleries here?!?

My question also, and why should I care?
