You had better do something QUICKLY, or you won't have any 'dedicated' members anymore. I have been a member here for over 6 years - and there are many who have been here far longer. Are you trying to drive all the older members away? Is the income generated by all the advertising really worth the firestorm of discontent you have created with this unbelievable travesty of a 'Revolution' you have unleashed on us??

In the 6 + years I've been here, I've seen some pretty bizarre "improvements" to the site - always released with no warning, and apparently no testing. But all the previous louse-ups put together pale in comparison with this latest abomination. The site worked relatively well before. Why 'fix' something that wasn't broken?

As Mark alluded to above, wanting to improve and update the site is understandable, and for the most part a good thing. But to totally disrespect your community in this way is beyond my capacity to understand. We are artists, photographers, storytellers. The IMAGE is what we are all about, and what Renderosity SHOULD be all about. The impression you have given us with this - I can't even summon the words - 'revolution' is that a few dollars of advertising income is far more important to you than the artistic integrity of the site and its members.

I and others have spoken to the subject of purchasing the high-quality items in the Marketplace, then having to display them in a tiny, cellphone sized format. I cannot see any reason at all to continue to support this site by purchasing from the marketplace. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

If the powers-that-be at this site have even a modicum of respect for the community, you will turn this around before it's too late - if it isn't already.
