That would be girl :) Or rather woman. Whichever. Down girl? ummm I think not. I just want what is right for the community as a whole and I'm just getting creepy feelings right now, so I will state my opinion just as everyone else here has a right to state their opinion. If my opinions change and the creepy feeling goes away I'll state that also, I'm an equal opportunity type poster so not to worry. I realize that you are not attacking the 3Dcommune site, but at the same time when you say "stores" "sites" it kind of all gets lost in the shuffle you know? Questor so far I think has said it best in more then one of his posts..the possiblity of it creating an atmosphere of elitism and cliques..(which is already here) the decision not to use that which is already in place,I'm just not getting it either. Well Dmentia has had little experience with 3dCommune since JED split, and the store has changed quite a bit since then. Thorne, yes he has experience also but again, nothing new from him for quite a while either. So experience yes, but definately not recent. So much for percentages... Your last question, tough to answer I don't know which hair product you are speaking of. It reall is in bad taste and a breach of trust to our vendors, to reveal problems we might have found with someone's products,(especially in a public forum) however, whatever problems we find are fixed before its added to the store, and if the vendor doesn't know how to fix it - we show them how it's done. We are not afraid to say no, or fix this. That is our rep that is on the line just as much as the vendor and we are earning and deserve a stellar rep for the store there. We are also working with In Depth to have our products reviewed, so again, we are very quality minded. IF they find things that we did not catch, we will request from our vendors that the problems be fixed and then the new product file be uploaded to the store. They are all aware of this and happy about it because they know we have their best interests and their customers/members best interest at heart. I believe wholeheartedly that things need to change in the store here, I cannot fathom why you would not want to stay and help that happen with all of your talent and knowledge. The same with Dmentia and Thorne; It is just simply beyond my simple comprehension I guess. I'm not privy to everything that has happened so that is probably why I can't understand it. I don't want to fight or argue..I just want to understand..and right now I just simply don't. I have too many questions about this..I'll just have to wait and see like everyone else and reserve judgement until then.
