@ Hope:

Consensus? That would imply that everyone has a slightly different opinion and we'll all give a little and meet somewhere in the middle where everyone is solidly behind the new choice. Arbitration would be a better word to describe what's needed here. You're on one side, we're on the other. Presenting this as "Hope and the Artists" against "The Programmers" is disingenuous. Apparently Renderosity thinks the new size limit is a cool thing. Everyone who's posted a concern in the Forum in the past two days thinks it's somewhere between "Well, that sucks," and "That's it, I'm leaving."

And you want us to do market research for you and find out what other websites are offering? Didn't you have somebody do that before the PTB decided the new size limit was a good thing? Or are you just going for "second worst?" Asking us to report back on other websites smacks of "Okay, if you don't like this, go find something better."

I'm hanging in and waiting to see what's going to happen, but I'm not too hopeful when you and Kimberly act like these are minor little glitches and as soon as they're solved we're all going to love this site again. We have some serious concerns, and it would be nice to feel like those of you in the office were treating us with respect. People are looking for reasons to stay, and many artists have given you bullet-point lists on what they need to see in order for that to happen. Image size seems to be pretty high on everybody's list.

I realize you're in a tough position, being the face of Renderosity while all this is going on, but a little less cheerleading and some indication that you aren't just trying to brush us off would go a long way toward calming the waters.

Thanks for listening ...
Tara
