Personally I feel that Rendo only did this because people have ignored the contest page...most people have stopped entering Rendo sponsered contests and maybe the PTB felt that the reason for that is more attractive contest are being run in the gallery...I feel that they could have easily addressed the lack of contest images on the contest page either in the forums or newletters or maybe having enough sense to contact the people running the contest and politely asking them to use the contest page instead of basically threatening, reprimanding, and just deleting the competition. Rendo has behaved in a very shady manner...all of this could have been easily resolved without removing images and the irreplaceable comments associated with them...this was a very childish and hurtful manner in which to address a legitimate concern...Rendo wants it's hand in the pot but there were better ways to do this...I suggest that we just boycott the contest page until Rendo formally apologizes for their underhanded and callous actions. -sits in the corner and waits for this to be locked like every other thread rendo disagrees with- Jenn
