There were Rendo links from the Web Ring of old too, and early, early versions of the site from (c) 2000 +.

I found Renderosity a short time after I first bought models from Zygote. There was an artist here who posted an image and I wrote wondering if he would share the name of the Victoria 2 texture he used. Can't remember the name of the gallery artist, but he generously answered and informed me the name of the product was StefyZZ's Yuma. I am pretty sure that was the first product I ever bought from the Market Place. It was a slippery slope from there. There was a time I was spending more loot buying clothes for Victoria than I was for myself.

Be well Sam, and long may you post, Rance
