It's probably a very good wild guess but the link was to a Renderosity MP page which is still there.

Thanks for the info Jeny. So what was the total amount raised over the whole period of the fund raising?

so is JenyK going to reveal all to us today?

"for all the abuse I'm taking on here... " you have no idea. I've never been in favour of banning members but I think I'm beginning to change my mind.

"But it was right that the Merchants held the discussion of where to send the remaining amount." I would agree if the site and merchants between them had decided to donate money to help the victims of 9/11 privately but it wasn't. A fund raising scheme was set up and announced. That's why items for the fund had an icon next to them and in many cases customers bought items deliberately knowing that the profits were going to this good cause. This was a fund raising event and legally all details of amounts raised etc should be available to all the participants.

so how much was raised and how much was donated to "Make a Wish Foundation"?

I guess what saddens me is that the merchants who make money for this site are not a little more united with each other. When this kind of thing happens to a merchant you should all be out on strike. Get a Union together guys!

"several months" so how many months is that?

1/ not laughing at your store Orio. Laughing at the irony of you complaining about people reposting free stuff when your store contains what appears to be the same item and yes I know one is poser and one is vue. Nothing important just found it amusing. 2 "I wish that someday it will be possible to complete a discussion here without someone coming up to turn it into a flame war. " so who's done that I certainly haven't 3/ "And finally, I don't think that disagreeing with someone gives any right for denigrating that person in any way." I have no intention of denigrating you or your products. In fact your Xmas tre looks very good. 4/ "I don't understand it, either. It looks like a very lovely tree prop to me... one I would be proud to have for my renders! And most definately not something to be made fun of!!! " who was making fun of it? 5/ "odeathoflife" I have a large collection of free items at other sites where they host the items. So I'm afraid your response was incorrect. 6/ JohnRender you use terms like "reposted all the time" and "stuff seems to be reposted constantly." Who are these people? This does not happen though it may happen a little more after this silly thread. Again I would like to thank all the posters of free stuff and if one or two, and it is only one or two, people decide to repost an item because it has been updated so what? It's not a problem. "

apparently from all sides it's not a problem. It certainly isn't as irritating as them banner ads with the didstorted Poser babes. They seem to be there every hour :)

ok so btsculptor has reposted 8 different items once only over a period of more than a year not exactly every week. The origional posts are deleted. I couldn't see any obvious reposts for Coleus though some items seem similar. Out of 7805 items I can not see the cause for concern. Personally I would like to thank all the free stuff contributors, on this site and others, a lot of which is of a far higher quality than the stuff in the MP.

yeah? did a search for "Kozaburo" and "red Hair" and found only one posted by Bug Dec 2000. Not exactly taking "space and visibility away from the really new items".

"some free items". How many? Can you give an example?

"Guess it all depends on whether or not your imagination wants to lay in the "gutter" or "soar into the sky". correct me if I am wrong but are you saying that, in your opinion,images of a sexual nature mean that the minds of the people who produce them are in "the gutter"?
