Wowzers, thank you for the recognition!

Wow. Who would have ever thought that I could have made an impact to make someone diss on me. Funny how people always ASSUME stuff about people when they don't even know us. Thank you Acadia - for your genuinity.

I have returned my website at http://www.moegoofie.com and I even reopened my gallery at Deviant Art.

As for the freebies, I'm going to start making new freebies and new products.

It wasn't for drama's sake that I left, but for personal reasons, so if you would like to be mature and discuss them with me in private, Flibbits, you're welcome to do so. The sad part is you didn't actually READ the previous posts to understand that MoeGoofie, a GUY, decided to get his body in shape, not the other artist.

:D

Question regarding Free stuff. Why does it take so long for it to appear after you post? I can understand 12 to 24 hours but 3 days? Just wondering.

Well, I do see your point.

Give the programmers a break. I'm sure they're currently working to resolve it. With this thread "New Galleries Stats are Wrong" I'm sure you've alerted them to the problem. Keep in mind one thing however, since I know you don't pay their salaries, when it's updated, you'll probably be the FIRST to know.

Sheesh.

Forgive my ignorance 'cause i'm known for being ignorant, but what real point do gallery stats even matter? I mean, it's neato that people dig my stuff, but they're just a bunch of stats of numbers that really don't make my retirement fund increase or the price of gas go down.

i think it's rather silly that R'osity even offers "stats". If anything do you think the programmers can offer a switch to turn them off. I mean, after all, I'd rather be able to find my missing "home page" rather than see the average number of pageviews.

Am I making any kind of sense?

Anton leaving is a loss.

You can reject it, downplay it, dramatize it, shake it, slam it, laugh at it or sweep it under the rug - it's a loss. He has and will continue to contribute to our 3D world long after he's moved on as we continue to use his products and share them in the gallery.

Oh, and Daz didn't invent the 3D world. They just enhance it. Nothing more.

Cool. just wondered. it was like - omg - what did I do? :D

I'll test this. Apparently this is the place to come and ask. Of course if it's all right with hauksdottir, that is. I must inquire of Clint regarding my inquiring of beta testers here. Well, again, if hauksdottir allows me to do so, that is. And I used to think there was such a thing as freedom of speech. my bad.

I've used Paypal and have had no problems in 3 years. I set up Paypal accounts for my web design clients and not one of them have had issues of fraud or otherwise. Always always always make your inquiries with the person or company you are doing business with. Paypal can't be held responsible for companies that use it to make fraudulent claims or transactions. I've used both as payments thru Paypal- my credit card and my checking account. You always will receive a confirmation from Paypal that you've made a purchase. AND the company you purchased from should (i said should) be responsible and send notification they received your payment. I'd inquire from the source you attempted to purchase from first before calling Paypal. OR your credit card - since your bank would know first hand what's going on. Hope it all works out, Andrew. ~ Moe

BDC, it was just an idea to do something corporately as a community. I guess you don't think of us as a community and that's fine. :-( I gave $15 directly to the red cross on the Internet. That's a more direct method, eh? Of course $5 or $15 isn't really anything when you look at the magnitude of the situation. It's like telling Indonesia "Hope everything works out." :-|

I was just sitting here thinking how kind it would be if bondware would set up a relief fund where we could donate a portion of sales (merchants) and the members and staff could give if inclined or possible on behalf of Renderosity to the Red Cross. 200,000 x $5.00 (each) = $1 million.

Anyways, that's my take.

Ah, but I don't make anything for Vicky. Probably why my sales are doing nicely.

wow. this posting went from "what's most popular in the marketplace?" to "let's turn the marketplace into a sort of 3D EBAY" - or "3BAY". Wild. Thank you, Clint, for not releasing my stats to anyone. They aren't anyone else's business. I know what my clientelle like by the number of views on my renders, the numbers from their wishlists and most importantly my sales (which are up - which makes me smile) :D ~ Moe

WOW! What a great response. I thought no one would be interested. Well, I guess I was wrong. Thanks. I think I have all the testers I need for now. Doesn't mean don't inquire. It just means I didn't expect all the nice posts. Thanks! ~ Moe

Uh, if you only test when you have time, then no that won't help me. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I'm looking for ppl who would be committed to testing my stuff within a reasonable time frame. That's the other issue I'm having. Only one person tests my items within a week. Everyone else test within a month or never. You can see how that doesn't work.
