I'm not very vocal on the forums, or at all for that matter, but I'm sorry, I totally agree with 3D-Arena as well.

PAY for advertisement for FREE products?! cough huh? No, no no....

One thing that I seriously want to point out, as it's somewhat related...and I'll try my best to explain..

If we can no longer place links along with our freebies to external sites that "may" contain stores, then why, and HOW, is it ok for Rendo to place similar links all over the site to external stores? Because Rendo, or the ad owners, are paying for the ads? How does that make an ounce of difference? Just the other day I received a Renderosity email with a product which was on sale. It was a huge resource pack. And being a resource junkie, I decided to take a look at it. I clicked the link in the Renderosity email, and it took me to an EXTERNAL website! I was completely baffled. Do as I say, not as I do?? Really?

I've been with Renderosity since 2004. And I have never been so disappointed, and disgusted, with changes as I have seen the last year or so. Sure some have been "ok", but for the most part, they have not been changes for "the greater good". Complete opposite, actually.

Far to many changes have been going on over the years, and it's sad to see that so many vendors, and customers, are walking away, and yet Rendo turns a blind eye and does nothing to change this, except make more ridiculously radical changes that just drive an even larger wedge throughout the whole community. :-(

Hindsight, and all that, guys.....
