Cybermonk - yeah, I doubt seriously that Bondware cares even one whit whether I spend less time here or not, especially if the attitude goes all the way up, as you say. One less shopper isn't going to hurt them. Bondware looks to be a pretty big company now, so Renderosity is probably nothing but pocket change to them at this point. Who cares about some old art community, right? The moderators probably care what we say, but in the face of Bondware and its programmers I doubt they have much power. Too bad. It used to be a nice place to visit. I don't post much at all, but I have certainly read much that bagginsbill and those who discuss things with him have written. It helped me to understand Poser a lot more, enough so to move on to modo, which is probably where I'll spend more of my time now.

A_Joker_B - (I can't wait to see what Markdown does with that name!) yeah, I didn't go to the linkedin site, but I did look them up elsewhere, and see that they have a footprint in the news industry. So I'm sure we're just small potatoes now. I can imagine them selling off Renderosity at some point in the future.
