I don't think I misunderstood that. But there's no point in making a big deal about it either. First off there is NO ignore feature here so if you don't like someone, you really can't just "click it away". I have one of those visual memories that captures and processes it all. I can skip threads started by people I know I'm going to disagree with, but I can't stop seeing their responses in threads I'm subscribed to already. The only other way to take what he said was to "Click the whole site away".

JenX just locked another thread saying she was going to beg the programmers for an Ignore User button. I say good luck to her because it's been requested here for years now, literally since 2001 when I first joined under a different screen name. If we had such a feature I could just block people instead of getting into arguments with them. Again, this is where social media is winning out because they're putting these features in and updating privacy features almost weekly these days.

Renderosity isn't a social network and it's becoming less and less like a community every day thanks to their slowness to respond to these issues. These are things that I wanted to discuss in that thread but instead it's turning into a bash the poster thread.

 As far as I'm concerned the mod's can go ahead and lock this thread. I wanted discussion on the article I linked to and instead it has already sunken to the level of attacks and people telling me to leave Renderosity.

 Thanks Laurie and Stacey, There is a link in my Signature to my E-Junkie store, but you are correct. My motivation was to hear discussion based on that link to the article I shared. It wasn't received that way however so I have abandoned the discussion. I don't need people like Macki telling me to leave Rendo if I want to ignore it simply because I mentioned Facebook having a working Ignore Feature when Rendo doesn't.

Well, one thing Facebook has that Rendo is still lacking is the ability to put things and people you don't wish to see on ignore, be it your best friends bowel movements or someone spamming their game play. You don't HAVE to see it.

I don't expect anyone who hates the site to be converted. I'm not using Facebook to collect anyone's CC information. I'm using E-Junkie with PayPal. Facebook is just one additional storefront. My signature now points to my, currently slim pickin's, storefront at E-Junkie. I'm going to have to get busy making some new content now. E-Junkie gave me a 10 week free trial to see how it goes.

Quote - I'm on FB, but I'm certainly never going to buy anything through them as they are very  promiscuous  with their users' information.  I'm willing to give some information, but I'm not a complete whore...

The actual Shopping cart I'm looking at isn't through Facebook, it's through a site called E-Junkie and it allows you to basically set up shop wherever you can post HTML code for the shopping cart and item buttons. I'm only looking at using Facebook as the visible storefront because of it's connections with so many people. I could probably just sell my items through my home page here on Renderosity if it weren't for the question of whether or not that would get me banned from here. You can post HTML code to your home page here, that much I know.

Quote - I don't think I would broker my stuff there right now.  Facebook has "everything", but if I look for poser content, I'm more inclined to look at it on poser oriented sites.

It's an interesting idea though, Matrixworks. I'd be interested to find out how it works out for you.

I'm just wondering how much longer sites like this will be around. They continually piss of users and merchants alike on a yearly basis. Anyway, I'm not trying to sink the ship. I just thought it was an interesting topic to discuss after reading that article. I'm certainly not expecting anyone to agree with me as I don't have my mind made up on the subject yet myself.

 Well it's already making a lot of people cash on silly facebook games. I don't see why Poser Content should be any different if you can reach all of the Poser and DAZ studio users who use Facebook.

 Did you read the article? It's not quite as "Unspecific" as you may think what with groups and fan pages and other businesses, even DAZ, Rendo, Content Paradise and Smith Micro have created presences there. 

And to comment on Phil's problematic TMI issues, those can be controlled by your privacy settings.

 BW I wasn't asking for your business. I'm asking what you think of the trend. Articles like the one I read today here made me start looking at Facebook as a more viable alternative to places like Rendo and DAZ that take a HUGE cut of your profits while at the same time making it harder and harder to sell through them. Just because you're not a member, BW, doesn't mean that out of the millions of users there I won't find a market.

So that's a no thanks then....

Says the guy with the annoying ad in his signature. :)

Signature? What signature? I don't see no stinkin' signature! (Thanks to NoScript & AdBlockPlus)

And I already broke the link by editing the animation. Here's the new link.

So is this yawl's kinky way of sayin' yer interested in having this simple but fun little guy or should I just keep him to myself.

You can see him in action on YouTube here.

That looks a lot like the output I get from Virtual Fashion 1.0 for Poser. You can look at all my freebies in Wireframe to see it. Here's one of the first dresses I did with some curved cuts in the mesh in the front.
