I can't understand all this fuss about Renderosity. Renderosity is not so special, it is nothing more than a Poser content e-commerce site with some added functionality thru forums and galleries.

Just consider Renderosity galleries organization: images are divided first according to the application then according to the subject; this clearly betrays Renderosity mission as content seller. If you create content with different media, your work is splattered around in the gallery without any coherence. On DeviantArt all your works are in one place; when they start to be a large number you can sudivide them into galleries according to any criteria you deem sensible.

In addition, on DeviantArt you can find without troubles all kind of work: from perfectly safe-for-work images like Dylan Cole matte paints to pinups (euphemism for "haven't had enough time to undress sufficiently to classifiy as porn") to things that, according to me, are fully soft core. People are treated as grown ups that, when they find something they don't like, they are self sufficient enough to stay away in the future from such things/artists/subjects.

A last comment: it is useless to start a discussion with Those-That-Are-In-Power. The more you show people they are wrong (especially those in a position of power) the more they will entrench themselves into their previous decisions, so not to "lose face".
