Mind me if I don't engage much into entire off-topic about writing/journalism and such, but in my case I'd like to skip it and fast forward to changes regarding 3D, as I have abandoned my writing past back 7 years ago when I decided to engage more into visual art.

I however have a few questions about this particular website and what it does and how it presents itself which is really bothering me. As a Daz Studio user and also Daz vendor (yes, hi that's me) I was really thrown aback by Renderosity's marketing tries to put down everything Daz related. First against DRM, second against "Daz not being interested into doing anything about Poser compatibility" nicely thrown between the lines... then that particular newsletter "You can create THIS with our products" showing a render created by Kimberly which was very well executed, but for us who know products nothing in the highlighted render was actually from Renderosity, but from Daz store which was kinda contradictory to that newsletter in particular.

Mind me I am very torn on this site whether you want Daz Studio users at all, do you want to humiliate the app and call it out on each marketing occasion to chase us away or drag us in (I'm really confused), or do you want to do something about that dreadful font on the front page product banners to look more professional then they do now and skip entire Dazzers come here, Posers come here, or "everyone leave the forums/galleries/website if you have to voice opinion" mess you've made?

To me, lately, it seems Renderosity is doing nothing but fighting and loosing its battles. I understand competition factor and how this site wants to keep most people in, but honestly, you have to drill a few holes in that cardbox, because people really also need to breathe and you're not letting them. You want to make changes? Do take a day or two and go through the posts of people who left, stayed, gave inputs so far (even if reading through them makes you think they're attacking you, maybe they said something worth re-reading, because I'm sure they did). Bring those inputs up back again and say "this is what we did about this". People will appreciate it even if you're late with answering. That is my first suggestion, start from there. And don't continue putting down the competition on every occasion it really is uncalled for and most of us purchase on other sites as well which will not change (do notice how many expansions in your own store require having a base product from another).

Stop fighting. Start doing. You are backlogged already, so seeing some changes from previously brought up issues may bring actual refreshment and bring you back on the good side if you don't feel you're on it.

Best regards, V.
