Renaming all the zip files "File_######" is fucking moronic. I have disks of poser files on them. If they were all named by NUMBER instead of NAME, I'd quit poser. Period. Lets get real for a moment. Renaming all the files is just STUPID.
The reasons WHY it's stupid:
!- Unneccesary work. The files already have names. If they duplicate exsisting names, THEN rename them.
2-People are NOT computers and remember names, but not numbers.
3- You must create a database file to cross-reference each download to tell you what they ARE. Looking in the server and seeing "File_1234567" doesn't give you a clue WHAT is what. If it said "V4swimsuit-striped", you MIGHT have an idea it's a striped swimsuit for V4.
One reason would have been too many.
Naming the "download page"--" Details" is stupid,too.
Someone at Rendo is asleep at the switch. Really disappointing.
Bombarding us with spam for freebies is just SAD, but understandable. The way it's being done right now is LAME. A banner for the marketplace and maybe a banner of random items would be best. From a buyer and seller perspective, showing the most popular items is just stupid. It becomes a popularity contest that exempts the other sellers. Having more random banners would serve more sellers in the marketplace. Having a HIGHEST RANKED page with a banner would be better. As a buyer, I want to KNOW what is the highest ranked in customer satisfaction item! Not what sells best. They AREN'T the same thing, ya know!
