Why would someone have their pictures presented with a five oclock shadow throughout? Looks bad. Maybe a point is being made here, Mr. Tim needs to buy razors for a good shave, so then we might understand the need for the store. Lol! Ouch! Brushing my hair out and I just hate my hair in the morning when it's a tangled mess! Pain to untangle!

"Well, Renderosity isn't a particularly "professional" site, and most of the members are hobbyists." I beg to differ hun, I'd say most members are merchants. Lol! Oops, broke a nail while typing, must stop doing that.

Yes it can be helped. Just get over yourself long enough to enjoy life instead of being such a stuffy poopoo head. Some people don't know how to have fun unless it is documented in writing for them to do! Lol!!

Amazing how many ungrateful sorts there are among you! Have you no shame, this is free?!! Someone did a lot of work to give you all something wonderful for FREE!!! I almost wish this Rex had the ability to bite all those of you that seem to have lost your ability to appreciate something for nothing!

Well then, perhaps I should direct this to you as well, and I mean this in the "nicest way" possible. "Interesting read deemarie, very thought provoking and almost too caring in some ways. I say this because I hope you don't fall over your own "care" one day as too many people have." Your own passion for art shows, and who would I be to put you down for that? Your heart and your way of thinking is in the right place, hopefully it will stay that way after all the sarcasm of harsh reality catches up to you. Hopefully it never will, because I hate to see people lose their flavor for value by being dragged through the mudcakes of devalues. May your passion be with you to guide you!! Off to get a manicure today, about time too, I hate these silly hangnails and rough edges on my nails! Lol!

(Quote) "If you've hated daz for years you must not like 3D art very much either, since they were one of the innovators and catalysts for much of what you see all over." by LornaW Simply not a true statement. They have incorporated a lot of inovations from the community into their products that is true. But the inovations have come from the community and they have addopted them. (Unquote) Simply not true? Why?? They were the start of all the poser stuff. Perhaps they were called Zygote back then but from what I understand they sure were innovative enough to get a lot of the communities started and keep them going and going!! Maybe today they go more by what the community wants and fashions follow the trends but is that such a hate crime?? Personally, I'd trust a Daz item more than much else as a product because they have more credibility by a long shot than any one merchant and even the forums; Daz was a store first and then added their own (kind of) forum which is exactly the reverse of all the rest that became stores after they were communities. Unfortunatly I am not alone in my thinking that a business that adds a playroom and learning center to appeal to its clientel sounds so much more credible and professional and trusting than a playroom and learning center that suddenly adds a store; one is adding fun, comfort and freedom to a business, the other is taking fun and freedom away by trying to be a business; it's like the Three Stooges suddenly doing Shakespeare and we have to try to take them serious! Oh fer sure! Would have been better to keep any after the forum stores as a side site instead of plopping it up in the middle of the sandbox where so many played with each other or pooped on one another for such a long time! It really does seem so flea market like, or like a park with lush green grass and pretty flowers that people enjoyed looking at and sniffing for a long time until suddenly someone put up a sign asking for two bucks a look and one buck a sniff and be sure to keep off the grass while your here!! I'm tired, too much salsa dancing; off to bed now with sore feet from my high heels. Smiles!

It makes more wrinkles when you hate than when you smile. If you've hated daz for years you must not like 3D art very much either, since they were one of the innovators and catalysts for much of what you see all over. Biting the hand that feeds you is easy once the belly is full. I'm late for my date, excuse me now.

It's "competition." Hatred is what happens when too many people want to profit from the same gains. Was a time when these communities were more about sharing creativity and learning and inspiring and being inspired. Back then Daz/Zygote had value because without Daz Poser and Company would have been much less, now you have so many so called merchants falling over each other trying to sell everything and anything to anyone, and Daz is unfortunatly one big sore in the side to many. It's become a fight over toys and who can sell the most for the least to the many. Daz is a threat since they have been around a long time and much they do is about quality; and they are actually a professional online store and this shows by the quality they put forth again and again. Darn, I just realized in my haste I forgot to paint one of my nails, that just won't do, better run or I will be late for my date. Smiles!

Interesting read dialyn, very thought provoking and almost too caring in some ways. I say this because I hope you don't fall over your own "care" one day as too many people have. Some things you say hold much value, others are just a thought in the wind and not worth much more than how much a spiders web can hold; and even though the best woven webs may catch millions of little flies again and again, the big juicy bugs either fly through or can see past the snare created by the ugly eight eyed, multy legged arachnid smiling in the shadows with welcoming fangs making room for more desserts. Finally got my hair done and I feel so much more beautiful now and I can go out and spin my own web with a smile and have some fun. Enjoy your day! Smiles!

"just know you get back what you put into a place & the members do matter to us..." LOL!! Putting the ionus back upon me or anyone else that may not agree with the rosy hypocrasy won't work, and if you only knew how rediculous your statement above sounds to far too many folks that still haunt this place just to be reminded about how foolish they were to believe enough to put themselves into this place! Urgh! Spiders, I hate spiders, and they're in my hair! Gotta get me some good spider proof shampoo or stop running into so many cobwebs. Off and running, have fun.

"HI Spinner, Hmmmm, did not see a question from Kurt to answer, or I would :] Dee-Marie" I really don't believe for a moment you that you have convinced Kurt that "the ART matters" here, or that HE matters here. The only thing you have shown is "an attempt to be polite with the rabble." What I do see is what Kurt see's, a place that pretends to be about ART but really takes a lot more profit in getting a whole bunch of creative starry eyed people together in one place and seeing how much monetary flea market value can be fueled from that creativity and from so many endless hopefulls wanting to get artistically noticed. Excuse me, off to get my hair done. I'm hoping to get noticed later too and I won't if I look like a ragamuffin with split ends, fuzzies and spiders in my hair! Lol!

Be curious how many of those are pictures of naked Vickie's with swords by temples? Just a little added morning giggle, LOL!! That sure is a lot of pictures in one place!

Still has it's moments for me. I find it runs okay but hangs whenever there's a sexy banner with a pair of titillating breasts, hmmmm, maybe this place has a mind of its' own? Must be a boy site! LOL!

Yes but I will tell you right now that this fat lady is humming a real mean tune, and she's getting ready to sing, sing, sing her heart out!! Nevermind that, she is going to be SCREAMING!!!!!

Oh look, did I just morph these big giant boobs or what?! Yay, I'm a 3D artist now and I can't wait to post these big huge breasts in the gallery! They will all be so amazed!! Well, that's more than a word but I'm sure it's said all at once anyways, too often! LOL!
