One of the reasons I am so very PROUD to be working here is that the people I work for are NOT at all the type to hold back on being HONEST and telling folks like it is. It gives me a great feeling, (as one who cares myself about this community), to know that the professional folks that run this place do so not with a cloud of deceit and animosity covering them, but with sincere objectives, open mindedness and respect and courtesy for the good community as a whole. We are your friends here, and we are "trying", don't make a good thing look like a bad thing. Why do some folks have to drag everything through the gutter before they even give it a chance to "breath"?

Welcome Bast!! Nice to have you here ;-)

It's not meant to be a separate entity. It is a part of the community as a whole. That is why it is here ;-)

Please do NOT look upon this as a setback; rather,it is a step forward. The freestuff will never die, this is an added feature not a replacement. We are NOT ALL poor Artists here. Some of us happen to be professionals, ALL of us are still learning and ALL of us are working together. Instead of looking upon this as something that is a threat to some of you, look upon it as a HOPE; a HOPE for all the wonderful folks who have all this wonderful talent here at the forums and have up to now never been able to do anything with it. I put this to you all. Instead of thinking of this as something negative, look upon it as an opportunity, for that IS exactly what it is!! An opportunity for all of us that are here to learn and improve our skills enough to finally be able to help one another by making our talents worthwhile and at the same time providing quality; whether it be the forum we all love or the material that is made available; or in what we all learn from the experience in itself. We can all gain from this if we nurture and harvest our talents and our resources and thus each and every one of you and me and this forum will benefit!! I think that is a reason to rejoice, and it is a new beginning to something that is now GOOD, getting even BETTER!!! ;-)

Excellent stuff!!

We have wonderful TEAMWORK around here!!! ;-)

WOW!!!! Great image and wonderful storylne also!!! You never cease to amaze me Trav!!! Incredible!!! ;-)

Actually, as I have just recently experienced, THIS kind of thing happens an awful LOT!!! FUN with Poser ;-)

VERY cool Davo!! So this is what you've been up to this past while eh?? You amaze me with your talents bud!!! ;-)

...he speaks words of WISDOM here!! ;-)

It's in the gallery Scarab, I'm a twit for forgetting to mention that, hehehe ;-)

Go Scooby Doo, hehehe ;-)

They say Einstien could NEVER tie his shoe laces!! Couldn't figure it out??? ;-)

I don't know if anyone else has ever heard of this but I'm sure someone else has heard it on the news or read about it somewhere besides me?? When the Pentium III came out there was a lot of contraversy surrounding the implementation of some kind of reading or tracking device that was supposed to have been fused into all the chips that would enable Microsoft and Intel and "whoever" to know what kind of software you use and where you go on the net etc,....bla, bla, bla.... Apparently they changed their tune when consumers cried about it and said they wouldn't by it, but I'm NOT really sure?? There has been rumours for years that Microsoft scans the hard drives of all the folks that visit and download from their sites. I have been told by experts that this is quite IMPOSSIBLE for various reasons. Gozilla has been around for quite some time, it's nothing new. If your concerned about that your too late, like by a few years. By now folks probably already know everything and anything about you; and even if they didn't have this, if someone wants to find out about you, they will; hackers have ways around everything!!! I know such a person, he just recently got a job for the Government cause they felt he should be on their side, he was constantly getting into banks and all kinds of security places, hehehe, and he did it so damn easily and FAST!!! He used to kill me cause he had the mind of a child with other things, like he would watch cartoons on Saturday morning and play games galore, couldn't even drive a car!!! But he could hack his way into Fort Knox!!! Hahahahaha!! Now he's laughing with a job to die for! ;-)

Anybody else here wanna take up a "Help Kate learn the Magnets fund"?? I'm passing this can around for donations? It's magnetic ;-)
