Just thought I'd drop by to see if Rendo had come to their senses yet. The popup occurrences have dropped off quite a bit, so they aren't over the top annoying, but they are still annoying. I also have issues with a "software" company that subjects it's customers to this type of marketing (and really, why would you send potential customers elsewhere to spend their money??). Anyway, I guess I'm out of here until the "2 week test" is over. Then I'll decide if I'm staying around or gone from here for a lot longer.
Odd that they would do this when a competing site is having one of their annual sales. I was hoping to see some good deals here, but since I won't be around, I guess DAZ gets my money, or I save it. This has lowered my trust here quite a bit as well. I'm definitely not thinking about upgrading Poser now (dang it, I was really beginning to warm up to the idea too), I really don't trust what sort of tracking software they might feel the need to put in it (or who knows what else they might do to it). Yes, I could install an ad blocker, and depending on what the end results are after the two week test, I might decide to do that. But, the bottom line here is trust. Why should I have to install an add blocker for a site I trust? I've been a member of for 18 years, and it's sad to see this happening. If I feel the need to block third party ads on a web site (ads delivered by a company with a rather suspect reputation), do I trust purchasing anything on that web site???? I'm kind of feeling ..... um ..... no, I don't. The only real option that I would feel comfortable with now would be to get a prepaid credit card, I definitely don't want Rendo to have access to anything else now.
Oh well, later.
