Any improvement I saw on this site after the debacle that was the Revolution was because after months of trying to reason with the knuckleheads responsible for the chaos they finally listened to reason and re-instated some things we had been asking for. That's it, no improvements of their own initiative, we had to beg for them and we finally got some decent improvements.

Renderosity thinks that by not allowing any mention of competition that the competition will just go away - infantile reasoning. The goal should be to make this such a pleasant place to come to that more people are drawn here to use the galleries, forums, etc and then just maybe they'll spend more. The more you drive people away the fewer purchases you'll have.
