I'd like to add my thanks Boris. Didnt realise you were taking a financial hit on it ... in addition to your time and the grief of a job going nowhere. Surprised you lasted as long as you did.
Thanks again. To the point of the current debate is the simple fact ... webrings when they were fashionable were started for RS, wiki's, Forums, etc. All enthusiasm but no content. No one is to blame of course but the Forum seemed to me to be the very best chance and yet .... the same disease ... no support. The lesson must be that RS doesnt work that way. No amount of energy and dollars will make it work that way. Whether its users or RS themselves. Good contributors have been turned off by this aspect of RS. It's not apathy. RS simply doesnt work this way. Enough. There is the User List ... and it's probably the best on the planet.

A big thanks for this words! Just a few words for my giving up. I'm very sure that my website got attacked by hired hackers and spammers of the competiting 3D companies. I've connections to other forum leaders who are leading forums of more general forums where there aren't any companies involved. They get some spamming attacks but that's all. The RS forum got attacked with massive spam attacks and even more from real hackers who were able to hijack my website so that the provider took off all domains I was owning. I got attacked from RS users that it's my job to get rid of this because I get paid for this. Boys and girls be sure I spent a lot of money to keep this running and didn't got any money at all. That got a full time job and I even paid for this. And what did you gave me back: zero entries. I asked for topics in several threads. Wow ... your suggestions went into zero again. That's what was your work. Wow! Also I'm a bit frustrated about the programmers. I asked several times for nice skin materials. Timo did the most sophisticated skin materials but they were hard to handle with the hardware two years ago. Hair: I think I got most out of it with lots of brainwork and very tricky tricks but I didn't saw lots of updates on this topic. Realcloth: don't ask how many unfinished projects are lying on my hd. Lots of hours I spend to get the best out of it but the breasts of my models are still penetrating the cloth which might be porno but I was looking for a nice erotic dance. Other people like zaug gave their best to put out great things like greeblez but that were also stopped at some point because some things didnt worked. The heaviest supporters were not supported. I try to keep that unemotional but if the supporters won't be supported they have the right to be frustrated. cheers Boris
