I dont know if this is the right forum for this question but here goes: Has the Renderosity Community discussed anythung in regards to helping with the tsunomi survivors? If not, I respectively challeng all members to pledge $10 to be sent to our brothers and sisters on behalf of Renderosity. I have no idea how to set this up, but perhaps the Renderosity staff can help with that? Thanks for reading, and if this posting is in the wrong forum, please let me know! best to all tb42

Dear tonyb42, Yes this is the right forum, and yes we have discussed this. We encourage everyone to help by making donations through any of the relief organizations that are already set up to expedite funds to the survivors. We do not wish to delay any donations by attempting to set ourselves up in a way to make a marketing event out of this tragedy. Attached is a link to the front page article which contains a link to a list of the many International aid organizations that are accepting donations to help victims. It just didn't feel right to use this event in any way that might potentially shift the focus away from the victims and on to Renderosity, or that might delay relief to the survivors being sent as soon as possible. Respectfully and with deepest sympathies, LillianH Renderosity Marketing & PromotionsLillian Hawkins

Your logic makes perfect sense. I wasnt thinking of it as a marketing event, but I can see how some could view it that way. I just thought that with our large membership, we could dontate a pretty sizable amount. Your response pointed out to me that the same amount can still reach the victims regardless of where it comes from. Thanks for your thoughtful response! tb42
