Hey Guys, I would recommend that Mehndi, Thorne, and all those involved with setting up this guild continue to meet in private until you work out as many kinks as possible in your plan. Then, when you have what you think is a solid plan, I would present it to the community for questions and comments. All of this 'debate' is bad press for an idea that hasn't even taken any shape or form and it gets things off to a bad start. I understand that it is raising lots of GOOD issues but I also feel it is creating lasting impressions on people as well. If you need a private place to meet and discuss your plans I can help you with that. To Mehndi: I think that Jade was just pointing out the fact that we are already in the process of bringing something similar to the community.... nothing more. I cannot comment on what is being said in the marketplace forum because to the best of my knowledge I do not have access to that forum. I did ask Vette here at Renderosity if they would be interested in starting the same sort of partnership with me that 3D Commune and DAZ have but never received a yes or no back from her. Last I heard she was going to think about it. I think (from what I am reading) that our two services will have one major difference. The Guild would be running items through a checklist and giving out a seal whereas our teams will be writing up reviews of the products. Your service could possibly be compared to the "Inspected by Number 12" stickers we see on products. I do not say this as an insult because I do think it is a novel way to do quality control... plus it will make it possible for your group to grade larger quantities of items. One last note... kind of a shameless plug if you will... the following DAZ reviews are scheduled to be released this weekend: Light Horse Mappak Dark Horse Mappak Charger Mappak BMW Z3 Thanks for listenin' Eric
