I didn't accuse anyone Dialyn. I see you're accusing people though. I've seen the posts from R'osity staff about this (its been reposted at several other sites - all unaffliated with each other - which leads me to think the reposts are true)... I feel I can give my unbiased opinion on this after reading the fallout. I'm not a rahrah person for any Poser site. I'm not a vendor here or anywhere else. (right now, that might change in the future)I've contributed to some products for sale in the MP here though, from which I do not make a dime from. Just helping a friend that helped me. I'm a member of Renderosity for 2 years, and I am a regular customer of the Marketplace here. (as my credit card and bank account will attest) I even resigned the one moderator position I had at Thralldom.org, so I have more time for my important non-poser work and poser projects alike. (moderation was sucking away all my time) The only Poser site that has a art gallery from me is hosted here at Renderosity. I speak my mind, from bitter experience of 8 years of managing websites and working online. Folks here can take the advice I've learned or leave it, its just my observations. I have no real right to express them here though - there is no such thing as free speech on a private website. But Renderosity has provided a forum that is moderated in a fairly liberal fashion, and I take the opportunity to simply speak my mind. As most of the people in this thread are doing, both pro and con. I think Renderosity has a right to have a forum dealing with their Marketplace strategies that is free of their competitors - they should have simply gone about this a different way than they did. The way they did it has caused a huge war, which isn't good for Renderosity or anyone else here. My 2 cents worth, and probably not even worth that.
