exactly. So why are they turning the merchants forum, which is the proper place for questions like: How do I upload my files to MP - did it get there yet? uh, why haven't you paid me yet? or merchants helping merchants with tech and business questions RELATED TO MERCHANTS not Renderosity... etc... (lord knows I need that kind of help too with just distribution of free stuff) And I think that all the merchants have the right to have those questions answered. Even ones that have competing brokerages that sell here. What on earth does THAT have to do with site planning and strategy? Site planning and strategy should be limited to Admins and MAYBE a mod or two. Its got no business in a Merchants forum. All I can figure, from reading the various posts - is this: Merchants on Renderosity might have to know NDA type material regarding CP. Which Renderosity does not want their competitors to know. For some reason(s) unclear to me, Renderosity feels threatened by the other brokerages. Which the logical deduction is: eventually the merchants will have to make a choice: do they sell exclusively on Renderosity or not. Because its going to be difficult for them to keep this kind of secret, NDA or no. Even the wild idea of expecting them to keep it a secret is an exercise in futility. I'd like to add something here. I think nobody would have much of a store if it weren't for DAZ3d initially. Its their models that made it possible for the third-party content to be good enough to sell in the first place. I think Renderosity alienating Daz is going to turn out to be a bad business decision. And lets not forget the other software companies out there. Curious Labs is NOT the only one here. Some names. E-On. Corel. Eovia. Discreet. Need I go on?
