Ever since way back when the falling/bailing out of "Willow" and friends, primarily from what was considered to be the over 'commercialization' of this site, that same 'commercialization' has become an increasingly sore point of contention here. A lot of generous and dedicated people who had originally worked hard at having a freely open and sharing community, left in droves, to never return. It wouldn't surpirse me that pleanty of members here, saw just THIS kind of situation coming down the pike. I know I did. The foundation of Renderosity has been pretty much crushed to rubble, underneath this computer graphics Strip Mall you now see before you. If that foundation goes out on it, it'll either collapse, or the builders will get that foundation back the way belongs, post haste. It would be interesting to see what would happen if the long time established memebers of that Strip Mall's surrounding community, refused to go to that Strip Mall, because it encroaches too negatively on the peace of mind they've lost. It would be interesting to know how important that commercialism is, to the PTB, if almost no one logged into Renderosity for a month. See how well they flounder along with people who either don't care, or haven't been around long enough to know how it used to be and just don't understand the issues. (Hey! How about trying to get by, with somone who thinks they know what it takes to moderate this place, after only being a member for a month.) So.. if Renderosity really "is a buisness after all", as 'odeathoflife' chooses to lump everything here into, how about Renderosity seeing what it's like to be NOTHING BUT A BUSINESS, for a while. Seems like that's all it wants anyway.
