Yes, I know, I'm a stupid <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/sad.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
I have posetd a picture of mine in the July contest at renderosity. I knew I never had the possibility to win something ( I firmly believe that you can't win a contest with a picture made only with free stuff, without a commercial product sold or supported by the site).
<br />
<br />
(Edited by Posy: Tormie lied shamelessly)
<br />
<br />
I red :"Voting will take place in the forum in a special thread after the challenge closes and is open to all forum members", so when the forum closed I searched and searched but I never found anything :? .
<br />
Ok, I thought that it was because I partecipated in the contest, but I would have submitted a vote for a picture made by someone else...
<br />
<br />
Today I saw the winners list
<br />
<br />
(Edited by Posy: Tormie said : "GRRR! GRRR! ENVY.... ENVY!!!" )
<br />
<br />
I'm a stupid, I searched in the "challenge arena", "the contest forum" and found nothing. I just want to see how many people have voted for my picture, do you know how ?

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" /> well you knew
<br />
what kind of folks were over there
<br />
<br />
Certainly we all understand that you've been niffed by renderosity
<br />
I wouldn't in the least blame you, for using you wonderful power
<br />
of illustration to vent your rightous anger, by making fun of them.
<br />
<br />
It's RARE that I even go there to see the "Free-bie" section.
<br />
It's usually the same old junk.
<br />
<br />
Tormentor you are the King of finding good Free-bie sites,
<br />
and I just wish that you'd -create a forum, with links to all
<br />
the best places.
<br />
<br />
After all the only way to truly <i><b>STING Dazerosity </b></i>
<br />
is to show the path that results in obtaining good stuff
<br />
without <i>putting our money</i> -into their greedy hands...
<br />
<br />
On those rare occasions that I am compelled to BUY something
<br />
I know that I go to 3D Commune or Content Paridise .
<br />
I am NOT spending a penny at Dazerosity, and I hope nobody does.

Leahman, every place had good and bad people, there are many that do not like this place too. It's like going into someone else house: maybe who live in the house have a religion that prohibits to walk in the house with shoes, as a guest I leave my shoes on the entrance... A site is the same, it has some habits that should be known and respected by the people that come in. One can even make a mistake, you explain why and if he or she is an intelligent individual is not a problem to understand and if you agree, you stay, if you don't agree you don't come anymore. Problem is when you come in without shoes and you see people walking in the rooms with boots covered with mud, you ask why to the owner and he replies that no one has boots on, especially if he or she is a friend "more than you".
<br />
BTW leahman, I'm not the king of anything, friends here passed a lot of time collecting mega cool links and we're all the same, with the same passion, maybe trying to have the same or even superior results without spending money.
<br />
<br />
Honestly, and I said it a lot of time, it's not a big problem for me to pay the bills for the site, internet become cheaper and cheaper as time passes, plus I host the site in the USA and with the actual exchange rate I pay even less <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> .
<br />
<br />
About Daz and Renderosity , they are not comparable with a place like Posetteforever , so it has no sense to blame them: they have different concepts that are not even in competition with a place like this <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/dontknow.gif" alt="" /> . if someone wants to buy something in my opinion they should buy it wherever it is, each store is the same, maybe if same products are sold with different prices, obviously you go where they are cheaper. The rest of the place converges to the store, like when you buy a pack of cookies <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_drool.gif" alt="" /> you eat the cookies and then you have only a little or no use of the packing. And we should not criticize other places because they have a "politic" different from our: they are not here, one can simply ignore them or even be here and there. But if someone come here, he or she come here as a friend, if not is useless to be a member of a place like Posetteforever.

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> in the same article, you both critise Dazerosity
<br />
and then critise me for critising them.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Each of us can not escape the events of our dealings
<br />
with those people. You entered a contest only to discover
<br />
that they are 'not going to 'consider fairly -an entry without
<br />
"Their" models -in it.
<br />
it's a contest -of ART
<br />
but Art -is not the decisive factor,
<br />
their selling models is.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/very_sad.gif" alt="" />
<br />
As a model maker I discovered that they do not treat fairly
<br />
anyone except "Their" -model makers.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_boohoo.gif" alt="" />
<br />
They gave me endless excuses about why I'd be just so very lucky
<br />
if they decided to sell my models,
<br />
and about why they needed to keep -a huge percentage
<br />
of the price of the models -they do sell.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/exhausted.gif" alt="" />
<br />
But I got a very different Story when I approached 3D Commune, <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/chocala2au7.gif" alt="" />
<br />
who was excited to sell my models, to give me the Lion's Share
<br />
of the Price, and sends a check without any problems -at all.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/Laie_33.gif" alt="" />
<br />
I don't need
<br />
to cloud my view of them
<br />
to make myself 'feel good
<br />
All 'I need to know
<br />
is that everybody I know
<br />
who's dealth with them
<br />
(and I don't mean buying from them)
<br />
has had a very SOUR experience.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/new_shocked.gif" alt="" />
<br />
(My GrandMother would call such people "Jack-booted thugs")
<br />
<br />
Everyone simply wants -to BE TREATED FAIRLY.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/dontknow.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Your contest entry was not treated
<br />
-as were those 'that contained models -purchased from them.
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/fart.gif" alt="" />
<br />
They wanted to keep twice as much of the selling price -of my models
<br />
as did other retailers, and 'they LIED - about it. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/diablo.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
-As a Frind, <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR708.gif" alt="" />
<br />
I can not honestly recomend that you do 'any business with them.
<br />
that would be wrong of me. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" />
<br />
I try to do business where everyone is treated -with fairness,
<br />
honesty, and respect, as those are the qualities that suceed
<br />
in business and in life. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Post subject: Re: The hidden contest
I'm not going to criticize anyone or anything leahman <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/dontknow.gif" alt="" /> , I'm simply no (or no more) interested in contests. About percentages and the rest honestly PF is not exactly the place where discuss about how much money one can make selling 3d products because we sell nothing. But: you may sell and keep a larger byte on small places, but you sure sell more on big places, this is the reason of the different percentages. If 3d commune would become bigger you could say bye bye to the higher percentage and the smiles <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/fart.gif" alt="" /> . And again this topic is turning against our TOS <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> because it is going to promote places where 3d art is sold, can we talk of something else instead of stores and how much money one can make ? Maybe apple pies <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_drool.gif" alt="" /> ?

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lmao.gif" alt="" /> well I was talking - about FAIRNESS and honesty...
<br />
and being NICE.
<br />
<br />
And for the record I find a LOT more Free-Bie things I can use
<br />
at 3DC... and I like FREE stuff...
<br />
Today -I got 2 DVDs and some little Sony stereo speakers for my new computer
<br />
from my BF LYNN ! !
<br />
<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR708.gif" alt="" />
