Wow./ I remember this happening to the site that Renderosity evolved from. The person/people who ran that site were of a dictatorial mind set and it was their way or the highway kind of mentality. I remember it well because at the time I was in a "disagreement " with the "self-proclaimed" founder and "Head Honcho" of that site and her attitude was pretty much the same as what seems to be evolving here by some of the staff. But then we all know that **** rolls downhill so who it is that seems to be behind some of the ridiculous and inept changes happening here over the last year or two here we will probably never find out. And don't give me the "it was a joint decision by all the staff? crap. Any person with authority one would think would be able to explain and truly justify their reasons for this latest bone head move but so far all I see is a couple of "moderators" taking the flak while apparently whoever is really in charge is playing the violin. Now; for those of you who weren't around or belonged to the aforementioned now defunct site I related to at the beginning of my little rant here suffice to say that it is hardly remembered by people here or for that matter anywhere on the internet. The reason is that the owner of Bondware at that time saw what was happening and took measures to rectify the situation. Hence in time Renderosity came into being and we all have had our ups and downs here over the years and this type of discord has happened over the years resulting in more people leaving every time. To me this in ways has an upside. Those people usually end up elsewhere making another site stronger and thereby more competitive with places like Renderosity. Don't worry this site will survive quite well as there are enough new people who wish to become " artists" who will join and use this site until another of these kerfluffles occurs again. Its a shame that this is so prevalent on this site but that is the way it is and will continue to be. So those who find this latest TOS change unbearable to their sensibilities haxe the right to complain and if they feel they are not being heard have the right to leave and go elsewhere. We will find you again as we always do and lets be honest, the "digital art? community is not just limited to this site but is a combination of all the sites like it. Anyone who thinks this site is the be all and end all one is truly limiting themselves not only as a person but also as a creative person and "artist". I particularly am not worried if I ever got banned or whatever from any site since if I am not wanted on that site why bother being there? I have had invites from other sites to post my stuff but being a bit lazy I haven't bothered moving/ But that can change if circumstances warrant. Good caring community minded people like those posting here are actually hard to find so to those of you decide or have decided to leave I wish you all the best and I am sure I will see you pop up on another site soon. But for now I will just shut my big yap:) Nick aka Beelzebulb
