Never spoke to Joanna but our thoughts and prayers with her Mom and family at this time. She was an amazing artist in the 3D community

yer nuts Kristi but if anyone can make things happen it's you LOL

Don't need to Kristi lol, just wanted to see how far you'd thought plus I could've answered most of them myself

What you would need is new site software for chat after so many it lags like heck..

Anything is possible - do some test run "meet n greets" first before changing software. Dont write it off because of lack of interest not everyone reads the forums ;)

Kristi

I was never angry at you, my anger was at what we'd all become and where the site had gone. The changes will be small here but each step forward is a step in the right direction, backwards will happen, i'm sorry to say, but battle hard and this site can be turned round. I told hope the same on this matter.

Nobody in life fully agrees, I'm blunt, to the point and can sound mean when i'm in blunt mode, life would be boring if we all agreed all the time.

I decided to take back my life before it destroyed my creativity and at the time you checked on me I'd hit rock bottom with all the toxic. For me, I had 2 choices, walk away and rebuild my life or snap and be brutally honest, making myself ignorant isn't my nature 99% of time though on some things I will fight for truth. What I did know was I lost my creativity, my ability to love what i was doing. Without loving or caring about what you do, you no longer care what it looks like, you give up.

I am the Amethyst_Heart, I come across as a heart of stone a lot of the time, problem is i'm soft like a marshmallow below it, i'm easily hurt. Reflection though makes me see that I was a part of my own hurt. I've changed that and hopefully soon I'll be able to show you what I'm up to but as linking isn't allowed and I have a 2nd place to create as yet, but that will take time.

Keep fighting sweetcheeks if anyone can do this, you can!!!

Hugs N Love

OK i'll put my 2cents in here in another light

1st Question - you plan to put on live chats with vendors but the chat itself needs several other issues fixed before that can happen.

2nd Question - mic or no mic ?

3rd Question - chatrooms max number currently is what ?

4th Question - has their been thought to the differing internet styles that people use - ie. dial up to fibre to dsl

5th Question - if using typewritten word - thoughts have been had on the speed a chatroom can move at and those not as literate as others ?

Being there it's possible but I have many basic thoughts on this not just going on what the chat room was but also as an experienced Chat Administrator on the many possiblilities of what can go wrong.

These tutorials may have to have limited numbers

Ok simple terms here for apparently some folks can't get what Kristi is saying.

A personal preference is not someone bashing daz but someone stating that they prefer one software over the other especially after saying they use both softwares.

Apparently coming to rendo makes me see that common sense is still lacking in some people as they can't see the difference between bashing and stating preference

Before daz or poser users start I use BOTH softwares, always have.

I have V4, G1, G2, G3 and honestly people should use what they are comfortable with. The software/people bashing needs to stop, and i'm talking as a member not a member of staff.

I STILL to this day use V4 and Poser pro but I also used V4 and daz

Nah you aren't patronising hon you just saying it as it is, I've been disabled a long time, quite a bit of that housebound. This last few months though coming on here has been sapped of joy. I met my fiance, soon to be husband at Renderosity. Like you though I probably will head to there as well looking for a new home.

Not just about happy though, whether you were in mood to talk or not, having a bad day in pain, hearing the sounds in chat were sometimes just enough to let you know another person about, somebody cared enough to check you were ok, that you could join in or idle, it was still a place you just knew existed there for you.

Time for thoughts from a lot of quarters as I said, there are many more out there just like me who relied a lot more on this place than we ever said.

Hugs

Piper

Maybe before this becomes negative again, maybe you can all read this and realise what Renderosity really means to people like me

Just 5 Minutes

Just 5 minutes may be all it is to you, But those 5 minutes can see a person through, Just 5 minutes out of your way, Can lighten a person's dark day.

Those 5 minutes mean to world to many Who barely a person they see if any 5 minutes seem so little time to give To many it's a reason to live

5 seconds is all it takes to say a friendly hello Just on passing and before you really go A few more sends to ask 'how are you??' Can really make someone feel less blue !

A little time each day to just be polite Can fill a person's heart full of light Each passing second may mean much to you But for those 5 minutes many will say thank you

There's many out there who don't realise how much those few minutes or seconds can quell loneliness or pass the time for someone each day but maybe, just maybe, you do a good deed each day without realising it By ©ScotsLass

I am ScotsLass on my poetry site, will surprise many to know I'm actually a writer as well as an Add On Maker as I don't tend to advertise this kind of stuff. That 5 minutes with friends is now gone for me here. This is what i'm trying to say and why i'm basically done because I'm sick of the fighting and the if's and's but's that run here

Piper

I'm finished Hope, I no longer have an interest in toxicity, it does neither my health nor my family any good.

Being treated like a child or like i'm simple minded, I'm used because of my disability but this was one place I could be "normal", it was company every day until this all blew up, Have you been in chat recently? it's dead!!!

I've lost everything this site meant to me and it is time for me to go, I'd rather be alone in real life and talking to my shadow that be sitting in a dead chat room talking to a white box or in my case blue. There's nothing here for me any more. Nothing worth staying for. I'll idle and buy if I need to but won't be often. Everything has left me even more cut off than before the "Revolution" that should never have been.

I wish you all well but nothing to hold me here, nothing to make me laugh, no friends in chat to share the sorrow. I honestly thought that 2015 was bad ......... this is 20 times worse.

It lands in the store but since NOT a 3D store shouldn't be an issue

Thanks for clarification LPR

Piper

OK i'm done even trying here.

If any vendor had took a post out with the vendor forum or repeated anything from there, they'd be picking themselves off the floor on the way out the door.

I'm sorry but I'm no longer willing to try

Piper

That's what I'm saying Hope - personal life, we don't need to know lol. YOU as a person we do! To gain trust and respect we need to know more about you. Sorry but wouldn't put the private part of Khai and I's life up for viewing here lol.

I am a member of the affiliate program our store has been for 2 years now Hope and we're linked in. We have poser artists in our store too.

More free sites would be needed to but I'm talking sites that host freebies where an artist sees something that may help somebody - they can't post the link - what we need is a page of "allowed links" where we can go.

There's a saying that's true when it comes to disability it affects here too. "Instead of DISabling us, ENable us" Give us the ability to know where we CAN go instead of putting it as a freebie ban.

Piper

Ok, I speak straight down the middle here so i'm going to put the unanswered questions on the line or some I've seen

1. What are we allowed to link?
2. Where are we allowed to link?
3. How does it affect the affiliate program?

Now a point I'm going to put out here from my own point of view as a store owner in 2D digital graphics world and how this whole thing is coming across in my mind to myself as an owner.

**"If a beginner comes up to us to ask for help making digital scrap kits, would we tell them they only can buy from our store and be a designer in our store using our products? And only use the tutorials available in my store" **

My answer is NO because in this case it'd be detrimental to the store quite simply because the beginner would think "No chance!" Reason being we make from designers on commission and from sales they do choose to give us. Making people feel limited is NOT encouraging creativity. We direct them to blog tutorials, tutorials here for poser, tutorials in other stores, stuff that can help them in other stores.

Renderosity needs to realise that the MarketPlace and site depends on us not only as buyers but also those of us who are/were vendors to continue to flourish, the same way it is in our store.

No links means we can't help a beginner, or a low income finish off their art and discourages them in learning more. I know this better than anyone, I've been there, still am there and maybe always will be.

We need to encourage fresh talent to keep the 3D world going but right now banning these links are discouraging people from trying to help or being able to help.

Hope, I said to you in last thread and I will re-iterate it here. "Get to know the members and let them know you a lot better." Saying we don't know you will encourage other re-courses for people to gain an insight into who you are. They don't need to know all about you but they do need to know you

Piper

Sorry but same on Samsung Galaxy here

OK well reading the feedback from staff, it seems like i've only one option left, since this is to save us from viruses, then it looks like i have to cancel my internet, inform my online university I'm quitting because Renderosity is scared I get a virus.

Got the gist of this yet "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET, MESSENGER, WEB PAGE ETC, WE RUN THE RISK OF A VIRUS ON OUR PC'S EVERY DAY"

I'm sorry but i'm taking a sabbatical from stupidity, sheesh Common sense has died
