My prayers were being heard, i reckon, and got access right away since yesterday, on the mac, after i changed the pwd of my account from that site with a wintelly. I finally had the ability to view your magnificent gallery contained with artwork i am very fond of smile Brilliant work Linda @};- God Bless, Harmen

sorry some dude banned me there from their servers, due to some alleged accusations from one of the members here, can only access it when i get the hold of a pc with a different ip address but will look into it sometime today smile

Hmm.. thought sending the http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=****** would be enough to send in IM? Those are unique numbers :-D correct? Yeah too bad that those pictures are deleted, some seem to make making more than 1 image every day or is not satisfied with the one he/she uploaded in the first place. Maybe a free year subscription for the FOM would be a nice gesture? Have a nice weekend, Harmen

it's very wise to invest in a external sub-system like a HDD, LaCie disks are very affordable, CD-ROMs are very unreliable, i can't read half of what i have backed up 4 years ago... gladly i still have that SCSI DAT 16GB tape drive connected to a MacClassic, so i can still backup the CD-ROMs if money isn't a question then the LaCie d2 AIT 2 Turbo tape drive is a valuable option cant wait till the intel mac is on the market so i can try UF 4 as well, but just gotta be patient smile Harmen

OOPS lol well i get it now: after mr.P. whispered to me in IM: it's PPPPPP Proper Preparations Prevents Prick Poor Problems have a good day SMILE

oh so what i understand from all this is, that mr.P. 'borrowed' some flame parameters from ms. C. and made them as if it were mr.P's and gave them away freely, and now ask to get credit from it by others who uses mr.P's 'borrowed' mrs. C's parameters who shared them with others without demanding the credits ... so in short, who uses parameters from flames doesn't have to put credits of mr. P's because no one is sure if they were mr. P's or mrs. C's ROFL i'd say, mr. P. ... get over it, and start SMILING BTW whenever you use them parameters, you can say now, its made with the help of PC Have a nice day Harmen

i don't quite understand what you wants really, you give parameters away for free and later complain about it that your name isn't mentioned or something? like at the poser gallery, ya have to tell which hair and face you used when ya upload something which you didn't develop yourself? lol then ya should have patented the parameter!!! have a nice day Harmen

oh well, guess we never get over it, the Fun20 is NOT to be taken seriously, and we are NOT the problem really, we dont hear those who hit the voting button before they look at the piece of work the artist has created, cause they still will keep hitting that button, cause the mod says thats a good thing to do ... but unfortenately it isn't why do those peeps hit the voting button and spam their gestures openly in the comments is what we just want to know from them, you know yourself who you are, i would love to hear their comments on this matter also, but they keep faily quiet and vote more than ever the problem with more voting is that when one doesnt have much time to comment and vote, never gets to chance to get in there, i have tried that too ... no matter how many comments you give away, they just don't comment back, and will not vote for your own 'masterpiece' to solve all this you may want to considder the possibility to get the voting system quite differently: #1. change the Hot20 into the Fun20 #2. give the artist the possibilty to disable the voting, so they will and have to chose for themselves whether they want to be there or not i really dont give a $h1t about any toplist, for if i wannabe in there, i just can upload to the artmatic gallery, most of my designs are assembled with fractals generated from that program but thats not where i feel i belong to, i do my own art which belong in the fractal category, and thats what i keep on doing we have had many discussions about the face of our community, and like one which was about the mixed media, well it flows away too, and people just upload them mixed medium images in here again, like it used to be again the biggest problem lays in the H20, and still nothing has really changed, and the discussion stays ... i wonder what they do to solve this problem, or do they have a voting system here themselves whether they want to do anything what their members suggests anyways, hope those who are addicted or committed to whether they vote or want to be voted will figure it all out and i dont see if its a good idea to get old news out of the trash to get to hurt people, seems they think that when someone has chosen a path others dont understand, he/she gets to hear it over and over again... so best get those miss-steps buried and look more what the artist accomplishes to create on the screen with that fractal program and equivalents have a nice week Harmen

oh dear, i wouldn't worry about it much, Keith, if i were you, nothing is perfect in any gallery annex community the hot listing is purely for enjoyment, i wouldnt put any value to it much, an outsider wouldnt take that seriously either, if you look at the quality of the various designs displayed there its neither everywhere advertised, it doesn't make the face of the gallery so all efforts to make it stop excisting is a waste too so let it be, my friend smile good day Harmen

oh just ask them 50 bucks for each design they wanna buy and a royalty of 10% of each sold copy of the book, be sure to make a contract with them, in which you and them agree with their intentions good luck Harmen

CONGRATS Joie!!! and Rick, it's fantastic to be each others inspiration and 'competitor' BIG SMILE ... bet your very proud of your wonderful wife :D .. i know what its like to have a partner who are doing the same thing, so break a leg :P good day Harmen

lol they read this forum alright, and the more ya get annoyed about the V thing, the more comments you see with them too, so wouldn't be a bother, them ppls don't like to be told to stop doing this or doing that instead

also some say that they love to have constructive comments, but the one who gives them will have to go through hell in the IM's they get or the lesser comments

shrugs

you'll notice it when ppl are exaggerating in their feedback, and when i see them under my work of art, i just ignore them

i am an outsider, and use software you fractalists aren't used to, or don't understand it, so i just love the views i get on the images, and think like: "oh they have seen it, hope they enjoyed it" smile

as for me i simply don't have the time to comment much, as i have said before on earlier occasions... art, design, multimedia and web architecture is my living, and i take a lot of time to make something extra-ordinary, and i am not so in the need for the many comments either, i get like 10 comments out of 100 views, and learned that i don't have to get annoyed about it

by the time i am in a retiring state, thats around the age of 80 i reckon, i might have the time to comment on pieces of art i haven't done for 34 years LOL

till then ya may find some comments on either piece of work, i prolly would be doing that more when i use the same software most wintel users do, but i have an antipathy to them pc's

hope one day someone will make a better emulation than SoftWindows, for it hurts when ya have a G4 800MHz and Connectix makes it behave like a PII 333MHz, so i can fool around with your fractal software too

what i find 'irri' is that some images are overrated, then i make an image equivalent to those and get underrated :P so it's all really a personal matter, not by the work of art you do

so thats off my chest, i gotta watch a movie on my Mac with my daughter, she is waiting for it

have a nice week

Harmen P.S. there is no crap in this gallery, just your own :P
