Has it occurred to anyone that "Online Graphic Artists Community" is a vision or mission statement for Renderosity? What those who established the site hoped it would become as opposed to what it actually is. Is it their fault that a bunch of us non-artists took up residence? They made available free and open space in their galleries, and we ran in and put refrigerator paintings up on their walls. I freely admit I am doing no more than that. Why do we blame Renderosity or its owners for that? We are the ones creating the galleries, not them. Anybody remember Pogo/Walt Kelley? We have met the enemy and it is us? The question is, what's so terrible about that? Why can't the self-admitted hobbyists share space with the self-proclaimed artists without having this ongoing debate? It is what it is, and we have made it this way. So what? Of all the really important things in life, surely putting a graphic up on a digital gallery isn't the most significant. And if it is, I'd check out your priority list this year.
