Well this was a kick in the head. You now have to pay for three uploads when it used to be free. Thanks for nothing! If you wanted to have additionals features to charge for, it would have been far wiser to allow 5 upload for more money per day. But to strip away items and then charge for them is bad business. I know that I will not be contributing as much of my time to the forums and the galleries now that this policy went into place. And I have been a member since almost from the beginning. I am certain that my images contributed to for renderosity to get the number of page hits it does and also contirbuted to renderosity having any real participation of Lighwave users. And I do recall the days when there was talk of dropping the LW gallery and forum because lack of participation. The first page of the Lightwave most viewed gallery is populated by many of my images, renderosity even asked to submit my work to it's sister 3D magazine. Renderosity would be NO WHERE! With out the contributing artists. We are the very reason for Renderosities existence. We are what brought this web entity to where it is. And as you very well know, that Web entities can vanish over night if the users of the site get alienated. While I rarely post more than one image per day. It takes me as long to produce a image I would consider worthy of uploading. There are rare instances where I do a series of images that are only effective if posted in order. But that is besides the point. Charge for email if you want and for the market place and other services. But do not start charging the artists that made renderosity what it is for things that were freely available. It is insulting, unfair, and well outright greedy. Find some othe way to make your money. I will bet dollars to doughnuts that soon the artists personal galleries will be capped at some unreasonable figure and that if you want any of your stuff to stay up past say 5 mbytes you will have to pay a monthly charge! If this keep up Rosity will cease to be a Artists online community and become just another ISP. I applaud Renderosity in it's first steps to AOL'dom! Most of all I always plugged Renderosity on other web forums with rave reviews, I've stuck by the site through all of the early technical problems and the like. Well now I am feeling cheated, and it seems that buisness plan for the site owners was in reality the classic bait and switch. Lure them on with decent service for free and when you have em hooked, switch em to paid service. I wonder how many of the people who made this site what is is, have now been totally alienated. I hope that BONDWARE enjoys it's bag of silver. I only hope that NO ONE artist actually PAYS for 3 uploads per day. I call for a BOYCOTT of the 1 upload per day limit and the restoration of the FORMER 3 upload per day limit.
