First post her in a long long time. I have had two cards compromised that were used here. My Bluebird prepaid card which was only used here once on March 8th and my Chase Debit card set up specifically for paying bills and making internet purchases online.(used that card here a bunch of times as well as at Renderortica). It is obvious that Renderosity has had some security issues but everyone has some from time to time including banks and major sites like Amazon, Ebay, etc... Stuff happens. I am only posting here to let the devs know that the cards in question were not used during the time of the breach they detected. I have been security conscious of internet purchases for years which is why I have a separate bank Debit card just for internet purchases and paying bills online. I also have an AMEX Bluebird and a Mastercard prepaid debit card for purchase also. Is it a little bit of a hassle to load them? Yes but it is worth it for security. I now use PayPal exclusively on this site since the Chase card was hacked. I read through all three pages of this thread and it seems like Renderosity did most everything they could to address the issue. For those unwilling to purhcaee her now, it is your loss. Too much good stuff to pass up on this site. People, do as the devs suggested, use PayPal.
Totally understand where you are coming from but for some the suggestion to use Paypal is not an option, as you say all companies have problems but it is how they deal with it that differentiates the good from the bad, guess which pigeon hole I put Paypal in.
"For those unwilling to purhcaee her now, it is your loss" - Yes it is but it is also a loss for the vendors and Renderosity. There is a saying 'once bitten twice shy' I am not aware of one for twice bitten so, for now at least, it is 'Twice bitten don't buy' so for me at least I don't look in the market place and therefore I am not aware of what I am missing.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
