Everything stems from a basic misunderstanding:

Renderosity is NOT a artists community, it is a e-commerce site with forums for users to discuss products sold here and from "friendly" vendors (like DAZ or E-On) plus galleries which are nothing more than product showcases provided (without compensation for the work) from users.

Artist communities CANNOT, by definition, be vendor connected; they have to be totally indipendent.

If you enter this frame of mind, you will see that everything makes sense.

Well, not everything... e.g. the commercial post thing could be resolved in a very simple way: threads about commercial products should have their name prefixed by [Commercial]. This way one could immediately assess the thread. Simple, isn't it? Rocket science? no, just that uncommon thing called common sense.

Bye... and ArtPearl, before slamming the door, let us know your next address.

P.S.: for the last one to leave: remember to turn off the lights...
