Went through Tim Choate's little spiel, more with a sense of wanting to know the guy than anything else. In the year and a half that I've complained about this and that on this site, I have to say that ultimately I enjoy the general liberty that Renderosity affords us. Other places are cliquy little holes that stench of elitism. I mean, sure, certain communities in R'osity are as cliquy and elitist as you can get, but the general nobody has a voice and an ability to post his work no matter what. Aside from that, Choate's thing kind of smells of forced friendliness from a corporate world perspective. The guy's trying to be friendly at arm's length, where the arm is a dozen lawyers and derriere kissers. Just my impression, really. In terms of what he's actually thinking of doing with Renderosity, the ideas are quite good. For one thing, getting rid of this horrid style of forums and moving on to a more 21st century-type presentation would make the site look much better and increase the interaction b/w members as well. Perhaps an IRC roo... no, no, that's just beyond control... so yeah. This post has no real purpose. AS's post made me think of the Hail to the Chief song. Mihnea
