Clint and Spike, I want to be clear on a few things, and while I would normally approach you both privately, I feel that this began as a public matter, and so I will address you in the same manner. I respect you both quite a bit, despite my harsh appearances, feeling that, among the administrators of this site, you are the most level-headed and open. However, as things have conspired, Renderosity has chosen to disregard many of the members of this community. I'm not referring to the "community" of Renderosity, but rather, to the community of digital artists that has grown around Poser, that began in the poorly coded forums of PFO and the old models of Zygote, and grew to encompass hundreds of sites spread across the world with over a hundred thousand members. This is the community I support, the community I wish to progress as a whole. My goal, for over 8 months was to see Poser make its way into the realm of a professional tool... To see the artists around me have the opportunity to turn their knack for a hobby and love for their work into a career. Until recently, I believed Renderosity shared this goal. I believed because that is what I was told, and I wanted it to be true. But it isn't. Renderosity has passed countless opportunities to progress the community and the software. Furthermore, it has often stood in the way of that progress, stifling expression, demeaning artists, and profiting off of the hard work of others. Despite these things, I still contributed to this site, often approaching both of you, audre, and Jeff in an effort to alert you to upcoming difficulties, provide intelligent solutions, gather content, and provide assistance within the forums when most reasonable people are asleep in bed. At times I have done this to help Renderosity, and at times out of a desire to help Curious Labs, a company I believe in strongly, despite massive opposition to my faith. But this morning, these injuries have been compounded by brash and dismissive insult from the site's owner, Tim Choate. The insult was not only applied to me, but to many others, many of whom are friends, many of whom are enemies, but all of whom are artists. This insult is the last step in breaking what was for a long time a nearly blind faith in this company. With that faith broken, I can no longer actively support any aspect of this site. And so: 1. Please remove my store from the marketplace. 2. Plese remove any material in my gallery or home page with which I hold copyright. 3. Please review the contributors contracts for Renderosity Magzine, none of which have been notarized, cosignatured, or properly witnessed. I forthwith withdraw my copyrighted materials from all previous magazines, and will enforce that copyright vigorously should Renderosity attempt to reprint or redistribute any of those materials. Regretfully, Paul Jenkins "Entropic" P.S.: I will be maintaining my account here for the purpose of keeping an eye on things until you choose to ban me. Should you have need to contact me on any of the above matters, you may do so via IM or, for more prompt response, private e-mail to sepharim@msn.com
