Ya know, as a Pisces I consider myself somewhat calm and easy going., but sometimes something happens and it just boils my blood. As a merchant I rely on the honesty of my testers and I trust them. One of them has proved that not all people can be trusted. It seems my Mac tester did not even own a Mac, she took the items to be tested , loaded them on a pc and sent the pics back from that. Further more it seems she has been selling my items herself with the help of a warez site. How do I know this you ask? Because I have been contacted by several people that have purchased my products but never got them from Renderosity. How do I know who did it?...every beta is stamped just a bit differently ;-) This just really pisses me off. Under the threat of police involvement she spilled everything. The isp of the site has been very cooperative and the warez site is gone ( special thanx to Jay Cummings for helping to track those Rat Bastards down ). This entire episode has cost me a lot of sleep. I do not believe in public shaming so I am not going to give her name in the forum.( I guess all those bible study classes as a kid did have an impact) What is done is done. A public lynching , although nice, would not serve to foster the needed healing. What really smarts is that I considered this person a friend. At any rate, needless to sayshe is no longer testing my items, sooooooo.. Help Wanted Needed, an HONEST beta tester (or two) who actually OWNS a MAC and is willing to test items and be honest in telling me what they find. For your time you get to keep free copies of all tested items. Please reply to this thread only as I will not respond to email concerning this. Vairesh
