So many members here seem very concerned about Renderosity being a cold hard business and not caring enough about their members just because of this AOY happening, yet the big folks here have explained away and they have apologized and they are even willing to work on a solution it seems. Perhaps far too many folks here do take far too much for granted around here sometimes. I realize people have a right to complain and have opinions, but come now? Perhaps we CAN push all this way too far as well?? Me, I am fairly new here, but I like this place for all the value it DOES have, whether many of you longterm folks maybe don't often see it anymore because your here so much or like to see the worst far more than all that is good here or whatever; I really wish people could be more aware that this place is not even "nearly" so bad as "some" folks like to make them out to be so often. Let me give you an example of what a REAL big business can be like...just one small example!! Where I am, the Scrooge award would very most certainly have to go to the GAS companies, who decided to give us the honorable gift at Christmas time of deliberatly hiking gas prices up by eleven cents a litre just in time to collect more in their coffers for holiday time!! In fact, gas prices went up higher today than they have ever been!! Now, how does that grab you?? This place? A big "mean" business?? My ass!! For the business part this place does represent, many of you members don't know how good you have it. This forum don't even compare to some of the business nightmares you can cherish in our real world, nevermind some very cold, crude practices that DO exist online as well. Just a holiday thought. Merry Christmas to everyone, and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for creating so much beautiful art here for me to view and be delighted by, time and time again.
