Hey guys, Someone pointed me in the direction of this thread and I found it very interesting reading to say the least. I am going to offer my opinions on the subject, you can take them as you want :-) I think that if the 'founding fathers' of this movement or guild can keep the fire lit long enough it would have alot of potential. Keeping that fire lit is an uphill battle though. You guys sound like you have a whole lot planned... I would recommend starting with one thing and get to where you are doing that one thing to the best of your ability... then move on to the next thing. Good ideas tend to snowball on you in such a large and active community as the digital art community. If I were to start something such as this I would pick the core component of this guild and focus like a laser on just that component. My site started as a 3D wallpaper site three or four years ago.... that is all I did for over a year. I think that if you keep everything honest and fair you might have the start to a great movement. If egos and tempers get in the way then you will have a big ugly mess on your hands. Again, these are just my initial opinions on what I have read in this thread... I don't know any details. For what its worth I wish you guys the best of luck and I hope this guild turns out to be an asset to the digital art community. If nothing else it will be yet another way for buyers to make sure that they are getting quality merchandise from thier store(s) of choice. To Mendhi: I do apologize for the delay in getting your products reviewed. Personal issues at home (wife having surgery and then a family illness) have kept me from being on top of things like I normally am... this coupled with the events going on in the world over the last two weeks have led to a slight slump which we are just now breaking out of. I do assure you that no one in my group has downloaded your products yet since we only download what we are actively reviewing. I am expecting about five or six reviews to be published withing the next couple days. Then we will move on to the next group of products (including yours.) Thank you for your compliments regarding our service and it is truly our pleasure to be soon taking an in depth look at your products. Mendhi and Thorne, feel free to email me if you would like to have my unbiased input/opinions on your plans. I might not be a great artist but I have been in the trenches for a bit. Not trying to talk down to you like I am an Oracle or something... just offering assistance. Eric
