Oh, I get that some people don't like the gallery design, but I don't see the point of getting angry about it. I understand perfectly people giving constructive feedback to to the designers and saying what works and what doesn't work. Not all experiments work. Not all graphics work. That's what trial and error is about. But to get so emotional about this seems just beneath the artists here. I don't like white micropirnt on dark backgrounds, becuase it's impossible to for me to read without the type vibrating and hurting my eyes, but that doesn't keep anyone from using it and if I said I wouldn't visit any site that used it, I would be punishing myself more than the website. It's a matter of keeping things in perspective, I guess. I think we may be headed to war. That seems to me to be something to get emotional about. How they change the galleries is a matter of interest but not great passion. I guess that's just me. I don't really expect anyone to view my stuff on the galleries. I do my own thing and largely get ignored. Oh well. I'm not an artist and my stuff isn't for sale, so I'm not exactly losing anything by not having views. That may be the reason my perspective is different. I understand this important to some people, but give the Renderosity folks a break. I don't think they are purposefully trying to drive away the artists...they are just trying new things to keep the site fresh and keep visitors coming back. I'm sure they appreciate all of you who have given excellent advice to them. I'm just saying it's confusing to me that people got so furious about it.
