I knew that most people were interested in only one thing around here but I never thought it was this bad that not one single soul other than myself even bothered to reply to a post made by a friend market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php . All he is looking for is a simple prop so I told him to ask here and someone would be able to direct him. You guys really "threw egg in my face" on that one. Well, he's totally turned off by Rosity and the user base now because his message has been here for some time now and not any response from anyone. People talk about this being a "community" but they sure aren't proving it...well, they are in a way...amongst people they know.

Any idea what that might be? I'm stumped - I honestly can't believe that most people around here are interested in the same thing I am.

For someone lamenting the lack of 'community' here, you and your friend seem to be awfully quick to think the worst of your fellow members; my gosh, the original request was posted this morning - should everyone, in the spirit of community, drop everything they're doing just to make you feel warm and fuzzy about how close we all are? In less than 16 hours, people didn't have the answer you wanted so you condemn the entire Rosity community? How arrogant! How selfish!

I think the proof needs to start in your own house. Sorry if this seems un-neighborly, but if I'm going to be outgoing, I think it's the least you can do to show some respect to people who so frequently take their own time to help others, and don't insult them when it doesn't happen as soon as you snap your fingers.

Pretty sad for you to attack the community like this. Why didn't you do a search for a bag, sure you would have found one and you could have helped your friend out rather than attack us because we didn't jump on the post. I don't read every post here but try to help others when I can. I also don't get my knickers in a ruffle if someone doesn't answer my post immediately. As stated by others, we do have outside lives and I for one don't visit rendo every day. You have been here long enough to know that. Especially these days when some of us have to work overtime to support our poser habit. Shame on you. Never make promises for other people, you will be disappointed if they don't keep them for whatever reason.

Sometimes requests dont get an answer in a short time . That doesnt mean people are ignoring it , but they may not know of an item , or they arent online and reading the forums , or like me , I didnt read that forum item . I notice the ones that read " HHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP - Paper bag required .... " hehehe
The folded bag is not a simple prop to make , at least I didnt find it that easy to do.
At least several people here will create models if they seem interesting or not extremely difficult but it does take time .
I find some of the answers in this thread a bit harsh , but true. For me Monday morning is not a prime time for reading the forums , its usually after work and often after the evening television is done with .
The guy now has a bag , so join hands and sing with me now ... "Kumbuyah ...... "

Not sure what the complaint is. The request was made at 7:01am and by 10:37pm the
same day a bag was provided. I wish I could get service like that from my cable company.

I seriously doubt that. Your friend has nearly a thousand posts on these forums, he's asked for a free prop on the poser forum before and received same-day help, so I doubt he's having the hissy fit you claim he's having. Your post just makes him seem ungrateful, which he probably isn't.

I just checked the thread that inspired this one and can only conclude that something extraordinarily weird is going on. The poser who asked for a paper bag lunch prop was directed to a freebie on the very same day and ended his participation with the following statement:- "very cool!!! thank you so much" What could possibly explain the ire of the opening post in this thread? I can think of several explanations, but it would be against forum rules to list them.

OPMG, you gus are nto going to believe this!
I'm half ways home from driving out to get my morning Diet Coke, and at a traffic light, all of a sudden there's this little brown thing scurrying across the base of my windshield.
Closer look, it turns out it's the cutest little baby mouse... seems like it crawled out from the engine compartment, onto the hood. I wasn't in a spot where I could stop and pry him out, so I slowly took a drive to the nearest park, about a block away.
Poor cute little thing was all terrified and shivering and it's little nose and whiskers were jittering about 100 miles per hour. He snuggled at the base of one of the windshield washers, holding on to it, and off we went for the rest of the drive to the park.
Once we got there, he started scurrying all over the hood and roof off the car, till I finally coaxed him into the grass, where I hope he'll go back to doing what little mice do.... Like grow up to be a big sewer rat or something like that. I know it's a roden't, but I just couldn't not rescue him, it looked too cute and too scared.

I had seen it's Mother leading all the young from the field across the road to my hay field that has a water duggout at the far end.
This little duck was following me everywhere. It looked like some big bird had tried to have it for dinner. The top of it's head was pecked pretty good. I felt sorry for and scopped it into a box without touching it and walk it down close to the duggout. Left it there peeping. Don't know what happened but I saw the mother and a bunch of little ones swimming around that evening.

I think first few minutes of it just stared at is stunned and not believing what I was seeing. Then I started giggling like a nut... and feeling bad for the poor little scared critter.
At one point, even though i was driving very slow, the wind blowing in his face and little tumy made him look like a tiny little flying squirrel, braving he nose in the wind, hanging on to the windshield washer wiper. I swear, it looked like very Disney-style-epic moment for the little guy.

Wow, How cute!!!!
I really wish I could have taken that little guy from my car for a pet!!!
Your story just reminded me there was a blurb on the news the other day how scientists think they discovered an exercise gene in mice. Mice whom have it would run miles and miles a day on their wheels, some incredible number for a mouse, like 10 or even 20 miles. Then there are those whom don't would drag their bedding and food into the wheel and lounge around, and only run around for 2-3 miles a day.
They speculate that people may have the same gene (or in my case, lack thereof).
Now I have to go and see if I can google that story ...

Since most of us are on other sites and we do know what's going on and don't really need to check them out because we are there.
Now banning, I take it you have been banned or some buddy has been banned but it had to be fairly bad because I'm still here and I'm not a nice guy. Ask anyone here.
You have a problem that's fine can't please everyone. But for tech, there are some very talented members and you can normally get a faster and more indepth answer from these forums.
You only see what you want to see and nobody can change that. I doubt you will get banned for your posts. You may get labelled as a troll. Hey, we all have a purpose in life.

It was a buddy and not a bad TOS infringement to do with a thumbnail in the Humor section just a difference of opinion with a mod who had an Ego as big as a house, But the total was building. But then you always get one bad apple in a barrel, the funny thing was my buddy spent good money at the site and was deleted and blocked out of hand, must be a power thing with some folks.
Their loss as he, spent, contributed info and tips and produced good images, another sites gain.

Please don't talk about situations in which you weren't involved.
Nobody on this site gets banned on a first time TOS offense. Except for Warez, which is zero tolerance.

I'd have to say whomever you're referring to did not have a run-of-the-mill arguement. I've spoken my mind plenty of times, am very opinionated and have argued with 'the powers that be' and have yet, in (what) 7 or 8 years (?) have not even received a warning. It all depends on how you go about your disagreements.

Frankly, the claims of having proof here are spurious at best since it's second hand information from "A Friend". There are always two sides to a story and obviously the friend has one side and the mod who banned him has another. Somewhere in the middle is the truth of the matter. As for TOS Bannings, that's why there IS a TOS isn't there? You break the rules you go away.
The thing is, I've been guilty enough of that here in the past and never got hit with the Jelly Pelter/Banzor Bat. If your friend did he must have made it personal with that particular mod. Any who, this thread doesn't need an old gripe being revisited just because it started out with a new one.

before anyone gets banned around here, they do have the option to just leave, that is one of your first privaledges when you join this site, if you don't like the members the mods or the tos, any member is free to leave, with all the other great sites out there, it should be no problem tracking down the products available here right? and it'll be no probs getting the same amount of hits on yer gallery either right? and it'll be no problem getting hold of all the info about the individual softwares and even how to make them work with other software, right again (i'm on a roll)
you do get a fair bit from being here, with a free hosted gallery, and access to priceless info and helpful members,
and in return, all they ask of you is that you observe two rules;
1.follow the TOS
2.follow all the rules.
not much to ask really.
it just doesn't make sense to me to see someone having a go at the site, members or mods, if i had a problem with the site tos or mods, i would just leave, i wouldn't keep coming back critisising this and that, i've got better things to do ( like writing crappy mousey stories ) with me day.
anyway in other news, i have nearly finished me flat-pack project, so i now have enough room on me new workstation area for mice, cats and even minature horses, two more cupboards to go and then it's job done, whoo and hoo!!
( decoratin' tip numero uno, don't bail out of the glossing job, thinking that your new workstation is going there, so you'll never see that skirting board again anyway, because your desk part may have two gaps on it that will allow your un-painted skirting-boards to wave back at you, going "cooey, look at me i'm all naked, not like the rest of the skirting around here, look you can see me wherever you sit in the room, heelllooo!!" )

Cool! Hanging cupboards is a lot of work. What kind of doors did you go with? Solid or windowed?
You're right about the skirting boards. The unfinished part in time can even start to split and warp.

Pergo stands up pretty good against nail polish remover.

that is because:
"Pergo know that you want a floor that is beautiful and durable, that stands the test of time, as well as the test of living.
Ever since they created the first laminate floor, Pergo have proved that there is no need to comprimise between good design, durability and easy maintanance. For us they're all equally important."

vince3 posted Sat, 09 August 2008 at 5:34 PM
i had to google when you said pergo, so i got that quote, looks like good laminate, i wish i had some in our front room ( where dining table is) that would keep my little boys fish finger and spagetti stains down a bit, we're on a first floor flat though so not really allowed it (it's not like we have clog based line dancing up here though) would love to have a quality laminate all through the flat though, does look nice.
was thinking about getting a laminate done, and then putting a carpet over it, which would leave about a 12 inch visible laminate effect, probally a bit expensive though for the amount of effect you'd end up with, probally have to inset all the furniture 12 inches too, so a bit or room shrinkage also.
we got a cheap laminate in the bathroom, which bowed a bit during toilet training (tried not to be graphic there ) so got to do that again too. fun times!!

Laminate is great for clean ups. Powdered drinks will stain it though. It's slick too. If you lay a carpet over secure it so no one takes a ride.

Some of the laminate flooring can be assembled to "float" on the subfloor. It doesnt need to be glued or nailed in place .
