Subject: What has happened to Renderosity !!!!
Attached Link: Amityville Toaster
The best sequel I've seen was about the Amityville Toaster that was auctioned off from the house. It was haunted so that if you put in white bread, you got out wheat toast, if you put in wheat bread, you got out pumpernickel toast, if you put in a bagel, you got out pork chops and if you put in waffles, you got out a toasted human hand.

Umm... Is the thread about The Amityville Horror or RR being a pay site??? LMAO! Time for my 2 cents worth! No1. My question would be... "If this place would only support "REAL ART", then who decides what real art is??? I don't claim to be an "ARTIST", that is a name slapped on me for uploading. If someone wants to call me that fine, I am just here to learn and have fun. This place has been a life saver for me, mainly because of the wonderful and diverse membership. Yeah,lets turn this into a site for social reform!! That is sarcasm by the way! No2. All of the Amityville movies were crap!! The book was so much creepier IMO! But I love to read and play everythin out in my head, always better than a movie! :))) Thanks for letting me ramble and posting my "non-art". Tammy :)))
"Umm... Is the thread about The Amityville Horror or RR being a pay site???" Well, looks like this thread like many others lately is just about ANYTHING!!! Isn't that GREAT?!! Popcorn? Beer?? Wine?? Whines??? Avon??? Stepford Wives??? Stepford Husbands??? So..you wanna hear the Shortest Fairytale Ever?? Once upon a time a guy asked a girl "will you marry me?" She said "No" And they both lived happily ever after. Isn't that AWSOME?? And Jar Jar nude is soooo GROSS!!!
All of the Amityville movies were crap!!
Read the novel 'first' before you see the movie. Just as badly done as 'Flowers In The Attic' film. The book was a must read and very well written while the movie sucked even worse than Amityville. Back then, I don't think they knew how to do movies from novels. I think they wisedup after the flops over the years. I Best stop because I'm starting to show my age here!!! :D Message edited on: 04/17/2005 17:50
For centuries, the foremost differences between men and women have been clearly and abundantly illustrated by the constant, boundless conflict relating to the appropriate disposition of the toilet seat. While, on the face of it, it would seem that this struggle should be absurdly effortless to resolve, neither side seems prepared to find the middle ground. And so the hostilities carry on. The chief criticism women appear to have about men is that they never put the toilet seat down. This seems, through some bizarre, unexplainable process, to result in the aforementioned women sitting on chilly porcelain, or worse, plunging into the receiving water and becoming inextricably ensnared in the clutches of the Johnny. No doubt a fear-provoking and mortifying encounter, the results of which are to render the previously delineated men's lives a living hell for weeks at a time. Personally, I fall short of fully comprehending this predicament. My solitary, plausible deduction is that there is a particular, hitherto undiscovered visual handicap which affects only women. A handicap which prevents them, by some means, from looking downward before they seat themselves. As anyone who has ever relished the thought of lounging in the recliner with a frosty beer and two hours of professional wrestling, only to plop down upon an unexpectedly infuriated, bloodthirsty cat has learned, there is clear-cut and lifesaving significance in examining the anticipated seat before utilizing it. But, due to some astonishing brain impairment which seems to occur to the female of the species at birth, this capability seems to have been mislaid. Attendant to this handicap is an out of the ordinary side effect which occurs only in the heart of the nighttime. You've witnessed it, surely. The female awakens from a cozy, comfy bed in order to avail herself of the facilities. But, due to the aforementioned handicap, she is seated in a manner which evokes her grim discontent, whereupon she returns to the bed and wakes the male from an unassailable slumber in order to make it undeniably certain that he knows and comprehends the foregoing ugliness and will be primed for the comprehensive range of malicious repercussions. But let us scrutinize this situation. Where did we go amiss? How did this misfortune transpire? Well, it's that side effect we mentioned. Remember, it's the middle of the night, it's dark, exceedingly dark, and the female of the species is merrily heading for the facilities, oblivious to the catastrophe which is approaching. And there you have it. Any standard, undamaged human being, in the darkness which is attendant to the hours of night, has no difficulty utilizing a marvelous up-to-the-minute discovery called light. To smooth the progress of this phenomenon of the inventor's shop, architects have, after years of dialogue and dispute, placed trouble-free switches in proximity to the vestibules in each and every lavatory. However, the brain damage suffered by the female sex seems to additionally paralyze their arms and hands once late night hours have occurred, making it unfeasible for them to make use of these spectacular electrical devices which would greatly enhance their capacity to glance down before they seat themselves. Well, there you have it, eh wot? Dash it all, it's nature. Quite frankly, however, were I a person of the female persuasion, I expect I would be quite appreciative that various men even go to the trouble to raise the seat UP before managing the business at hand. Think about it.
Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
So why should we women touch the seat after you men put it up to take a wiz? They should make a spring coil we can attach to toilet seats so they just jump back into place after 'he' forgets to put it back! tynana, why should we clean his thrown? After a while, maybe put some dysinfectant and insecticide beside his toilet as a reminder for when things get too harsh and outhouse like. Did you happen to hear about the guy who went to some popular coffee place and had to take a wee and while he was enjoying a good splash the toilet seat fell on his winky? He tried to sue for aching bruises, not sure how that went. So what the heck was he so close for? He must have been either hugging the toilet or trying to rinse it off!
LMAO!!! LornaW, you are absolutely right! I am officially on strike! No more scrubbing grundgy toilets for me. No sir, no way no how! Does anyone else have boys?? Do you have the problem of them not lifting the lid?? Just when you think it is safe to sit on the toilet!! LOL!! PS. This thread turned out to be a lot of fun! :) Tammy
Do artists pay to have there stuff hang on a wall in a upscale gallaery? No. Do musicians pay to have ther music played on a radio? No. I'm a new artist here and it disturbs me greatly that you want Renderosity to be a subsciption members only club. If you think your art is so great then why not set up your own website? The idea of this site is to help those folks like myself to enjoy some feedback and get tips to improve our work. Renderosity should stay free. Period!
Hey Birddie! You aren't the only one showing your age! LOL!
LOL. What's even worse is, I can remember when I first saw the Orginal Star Wars and wondered what the heck Star Wars was. And all the bad 70's movies that we used to watch. LMAO!!! ok, raise your hand if you're a rich person and have artwork on Rendo???? Message edited on: 04/18/2005 13:58
If he wasn't hugging it or rinsing it, he must have had quite a wanger!! Wish I knew whether he won that lawsuit?? Getting back to the original cake of all this, if you have to make it a pay site to be able to say this place has just great work or to get comments, that's pretty bad. Just as bad as Willy with the wanger making a lawsuit for his own splashing blunder! If I joined cookie club where women of all walks got together to bake and create cookies and share dessert recipies, it be real fun, but if some of us started thinking we were the cat's meow and our cookies were just too good for your avwerage cookie club and it's time to pay up if you wanna be in our club, why do find that just like we're having to pay to be giood cookie bakers?? Kind of takes away from all the fun and reality of it all and makes it seem like those great artists are just fooling, er, buying their own greatness. To suggest that making this a pay site will make this place only have good art, well, that is just as bad as getting all your friends together to vote you in and go wow on your work and make you look awsome and the greatest!! It's just sad! Serority anybody?? Are we gonna play tricks on the potential members too, or make them do dumb or bad things while on trial before they are accepted or allowed to be here or pay to post that incredible terrific art?? Pay toilets are a slap in the face too, especially when you really have to go and have no cash handy, ouch! Poor people have to hold it in while the rich get to pee whether they have to or not!
Be careful with those CAPITALS, it looks like your trying to yell LOUDER than everyone else and that could cost you extra if ths place were to go paysite. CAPITAL tax!! By the way, pay toilets are happening. Wonder how long it will be before someone makes you pay per pee or per weight of number two, and base the cost on how long and how much and charge per sheet and quality of toilet paper or maybe they'll just add a blow dry?
If everybody scrubbed the toilet after they used it, and brought their own paper supplies, then companies wouldn't need to charge that quarter for a public toilet, would they? I'm thinking that if people had to pay for each membership account, then the number of clones would drop. This would help deal with HOT20/AOM votes and gallery trolls and people who keep coming back no matter how often they are shown the door. Something like $10/account name might be reasonable. If you keep one name over 5 years it is peanuts, but if you and your 20 clones are trying to disrupt the forum, it might be enough of a hurdle. Carolly
Rich or poor if you had to hold it in for a long time you'd explode. :D Actually, the famous 16th century Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe, died of a burst bladder. He was dining with an emperor or king or someone (can't recall which one) and the custom and etiquette of the court demanded that no one could get up from the table until the lord did, and Tycho had too much to drink and waited and waited and waited and eventually his bladder burst. Or so goes the story, anyway. (He probably actually died of mercury poisoning, which has symptoms consistent with uremia, but back in the early 17th century when he died they had no way to test for such things.) bonni

I wonder what would happen if we took a poll to find out how many people really cared about the HOT 20 anyway? Personally, I don't worry about it, but it is a goal for some. Of course I guess I could go back to the beginners gallery and get in that way. LOL! ;) @elizabyte I didn't know that you could really burst your bladder, I thought it was kind of like the holding your breath until you died legend. You would pass out first, or in this case, pee yourself. :)
Hey hauksdottir - I'm poor! - I can't afford to pay for a memdership right now because I DO NOT OWN A CREDIT CARD ANYMORE - AND WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ONE AGAIN FOR QUITE A WHILE!!! But - hey - guess what? I promote renderosity, I offer freebies, and I contribute in other ways -and what I do also gives other "not so well to do folks" something free to use to. Now if you want to facilitate the trollers, and what not - and give them the POWER to screw every body else over by giving folks like you the license and excuse to behave in an efite,elitist manner - well then - you've ultimately done nothing short of aiding and abedding exclusionism,whereby IRREVICABLY DESTROYING the spirit of a tolerant,and INCLUSIVE community. In short - you've become A DRAG, A POISON PILL, AND THE QUINTESSENTIAL PARTY POOPER!!!
This would help deal with HOT20/AOM votes and gallery trolls and people who keep coming back no matter how often they are shown the door. Something like $10/account name might be reasonable. If you keep one name over 5 years it is peanuts, but if you and your 20 clones are trying to disrupt the forum, it might be enough of a hurdle. Hard to say if that would even work since you don't know how much the trolls are willing to go through are you? That's only using money as a filter to exclude the ppl that haven't got it. It sounds to me like treating a hangnail with an ax, the cure being a lot more damaging than the disease. Would it be worth it to pay for what the services provide? IMHO they'd have to offer a lot more stuff for a paid membership to be worth it and no clear indication that it would improve the community, since paying isn't a solid motivation to induce the kind of behavior you mentioned.

Guys, Just a reminder to please keep things civil. This has turned out to be an amusing and fun thread, so I don't really want to lock it. Disagreeing with others' viewpoints is great, but please talk about the opinion and not the person, okay? Thanks. Karen Moderator

AL2005 Says QUOTE really BAD ARTWORK.... and to add insult to injury people are saying how great some of it is and in reality its just crap. UNQUOTE You Probably wouldnt know art if it jumped up and bit you on the arse!!! People put images in the gallery probably to share with people to show how they are going with learning to say what you said is like a slap in the face to any 1 that can create a lot of people but not all care about how people come along in there progress.
Maybe it didn't take, a glitch, happens a lot.
I heard clones mentioned?
How can you elliminate clones here, since many merchants and artists and other folks here use clones just to mingle or vent or have opinions or to help out on the forums?!
If folks here were themselves all the time, with the way these kind of forums are, and the hotheads at times over the smallest warts in a thread, you could find yourself out of business or backballed or the worst artist of the month in no time at all without even trying to upset anyone or anything!
Just from having an opinion, you could be a smeared forum member, tarred and feathered and fed to internet limbo.
As for genuine trolls and moles, they will always be here as on other forums whether it's pay or not because they don't really have much else to do and usually have too much time and money, and unfortunatly far too often they're friends and enemies are here and they want to belong or just live online to upset.

Hmmmm.... I'm not fond of censorship...unless it violates state laws(Kiddie Porn,etc). I'm not fond of elitists. This place is ~supposed~ to be for everyone. If you don't like someone's work...move on to the next piece.Maybe it's just not your style. By the way,to the individual who began this thread...You've got some nice work up.Not my style,but still very nice.It indeed shows great effort and talent. As does most of the work I see in the galleries. How's about cutting folks a break,folks?
As for bursting baldders, they say the bladder is the most stretchable organ in the human body, it would really have to blow up a LOT to burst and you would probably just pee yourself silly before that happened. Looks like if enough pay toilets happen, we may start looking at a new line of absorbant diapers for us all, lol!
Maybe it didn't take, a glitch, happens a lot.
Nope, a mod deleted my post, who obviously didn't get the humor in what I had posted, lol. No biggie. Guess censorship applies to some people's posts on here but not others.
I'm not fond of elitists.
Me either/agree with you.
This place is ~supposed~ to be for everyone.
Not if the elitists had their way.
My 2 cents worth.
I'm also entitled to my opinions, but mine, have the habbit of being deleted. Welp, this thread was fun while it lasted. ;) Message edited on: 04/19/2005 18:55
Did you get too personal or direct your humor at at someone specific? See, now, that's probably why so many members would have clones, so they can clown around or be free and fruitful without getting their real membership into trouble and losing the respect, dignity, popularity and noteriety they may have and wish to keep here. Imagine a well liked hot twenty regular or AOM or MOM making faces or complaining or having a biased opinion or going "neener, neener" here on the forum boards?
I was told I was being 'catty' whatever the hell that means? No big deal. don't want to get into it. ;)
Let's just say: I now know who the site 'pets' are.
::shrugs:: I have one other account on here, now closed and if that's the big stink a certain someone is making about me then I dont understand the fuss. I wanted to change my screen name. If I could have closed the account or got it deleted I would have. This is my main account now. I dont have twenty accounts here, just this one.

Well, yes, which is why the story about Tycho is probably only a story. He did die of something that looked kidney or bladder related, but as mentioned, it was probably some form of mercury poisoning (he liked to dabble in chemistry; the theory is that he made himself some sort of medicine that was full of mercury). You're most likely to just pee yourself when the sphincter opening finally has too much pressure on it and gives way. But it's still a fun story about Tycho. And he really DID get his nose cut off in a duel over a mathematics problem! bonni

Here's a link to cheer you up. We may all be getting one of these pretty soon. Get yours while you can, lol!
"What do you do? You squeamishly go looking for a quiet spot behind a bush to do your thing. You cautiously avoid the poison oak and ivy. As you carefully squat down and try to relax a snake suddenly comes slithering through the weeds and startles you. What a mess!" Oh, Lorna, that was terrible! I bet nobody rear-ends his truck (or even follows too closely). The problem is that most of us can avoid the poison oak and curled-up snakes... it's the mosquitoes which make a quiet trip to the bushes difficult, and this device won't curtail them. The other problem is that one would have to drop one's trousers on the road, and passing motorists would perhaps have something to say about the view. Nah, I'll take my chances behind a tree. Carolly
Speaking of ducking behind trees, I was 18 before I knew guys could pee sitting down. I had a lot of, uhm, experience with men, but not of that variety. I was utterly astounded when I found out! Probably TMI, but it kinda goes with the whole potty theme and all... ;) bonni
