I hope I wasn't too 'bunt' above, one does have to realize what it would be like if you were to attempt to log on here (or anywhere) only to have a 'mile long' screen pop up with seemingly endless IM messages (stop and picture it for a moment) You wouldn't even be able to scroll down and find Renderosity itself..... Sure it may be 'flatering' at first, but if it just keeps continuing then it would soon become a real bother, then and outright nusiance, then downright untolratable. I know this not because I am a modler nor even an artist but I experianced a simular issue in '99 when a little freebie saver I posted made many mailing lists and my humble website was shut down do to band-width, the e-mails began to litteraly FLOOD my mail box......yes, flatering at first, but soon it became a nightmare! I couldn't possably e-mail out 50 to 100 2meg files a day on a dial-up, let alone respond to every one. Yes, many of us will go without these lovely pieces, but hey, the poor guy didn't even make any money and now he can't even log on to see what others have to offer that he might like to have. I think another thread I once read summed it up nicely about IM'ing "Send Only One, and if others have done so already, hold off and wait to see what answer they get" (or something like that). Yes, I too would like some of the wonderful pieces of Marforno's that I have seen, but unless we want to run the poor guy off completly perhaps we should all just let him rest now....and yes, drool (wipping my own keyboard)
