Since the TOS doesn't seem to protect outsiders, I'll respond to a few points. "There's a whole history that you don't know, or have only heard second-hand." Sorry x2000, but anything you know, is also still second hand knowledge. There are many sides to every story and the truth is always somewhere in between. "Russ and Mehndi touted PoserPros as an alternative to the "evil" money-minded sites. In fact, it wasn't all that long ago that a few folks were attacking their non-profit attitude as being a mere facade (an attack in which I defended them, no less)." I certainly don't consider sites that make money "evil" as you put it. Come on, even you know I've been working on code for a store for about 2 months now. And "non-profit" was never a goal, it was just the result. The result of us trying to create a store where we could give the merchants more. We knew our store would not have much traffic, so we decided to raise the merchant cuts through the roof. Now our store will have more traffic. We found another way to make more money for our merchants. A different way than we had planned, but it ends in the same result. "Where did Legume go?" Legume (and maybe another or two of our mods) decided that he wasn't compatible with DAZ and decided to leave us. We wish him well and hope he will continue to enlighten us about artists who walk a different path from the norm. "Mehndi and Russ have been selling every member on their non-commercialism" Again, it's public knowledge I've been working on store software for over two months now. That hardly qualifies us as "non-commercial". We were only non-commercial because I couldn't write code fast enough to start selling products! :) No flames here Paul. Just explainations. Wish it were the same coming from the other side. Have a great weekend! Russell
