I usually keep out of the forums but I need to through my oar in this one.

Lets quote WIKI

"To express your idea and feelings is art, it may be in form of paintings, sculpture, acting and music etc." Rehan Khattak. Art is an application of a creativity that has some form of appreciative value, usually on the basis of aesthetic value or emotional impact. Much about art is controversial, including what specific cases can be considered such.

So Art is really in the hands of the creator. It's up to the creator whether something is art or something else e.g. Pornography. Interpretation of art is the interpretation of whats the artists motivation and thoughts were. Judgement of art is again the judgement of the Artists motivation and intent.

Poser like a camera or brush is just a tool. It's the artist who creates the image who ultimately knows what his intent is / was.

So Artists will create Art and Perverts will create Perversions. But who is to say which is which? I can't get into anothers mind and I'm sure no one would like to live in mine.

I have to judge each piece by my standards and morals. Thats my limitation. Not the Artists.

OK that worked for me....... Wonder how many people are having probs because their ISP have SPF checking enabled....... Worth lookin at Methinks :)

I've been using AVG both personally and professionally for about 4 years.... Works for me!

OK After days of picking through the logs of my mailserver I've got something. The ebots seem to be getting bounced because of a SPF failure (http://www.openspf.org/). This is used by quite a lot of mailserver to check for Identity Spoofing.

Quick Quote

SPF fights return-path address forgery and makes it easier to identify spoofs.
Domain owners identify sending mail servers in DNS.
SMTP receivers verify the envelope sender address against this information, and can distinguish authentic messages from forgeries before any message data is transmitted.

seems to be a mismatch so the bots are being bounced.......

I'll disable the SPF (just to see)

Ok I still haven't received ANY Ebots since the gallery changeover . Not One............ Must be something Gods gettin back at me for!!!!!!

The thumbs they are a twiddling!!!!! faster and faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are ebots??????? I've forgotten

Hmmmmm....  well you have your opinion and I have mine, A business would have had a fully tested and mplemented site before launch... and  a proper rollout process......... let's agree to differ.

Quote : As for being a store rather than a  community, it's not a charity or even a folly run by someone with more money than sense, it's a business and designed to make money.   It's also a business with no real product.

My Point Exactly...... People shouldn't forget this. Rendo started as a community........  NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!

The whole focus of the site has changed but the banner still says "Renderosity Art Community"

I understand the need to fund the site fully  my point is that there should be a better balance.

We can live in hope!!!!!!

I Agree 100%  this is no longer a community............. it's a store............ We've lost to the almight $ Again!.......

Sitting twiddling thumbs...................

Still No Ebots........

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP
