My Crazy non-sence rant
Quote:
However I largely disagree with anyone who would say that its bad to have a pay site. For all the reasons said above plus the fact that if you pay artists. Most of the time that only HELPS us with out the money for pay sites. Because those artists either as a way to promot the site or as a way to thank loyal fans will do FREE art, and post it in places like this. Those are normaly the same artist who wouldn't have the time to do free work if not for the money they recive from sites like this one. So its a give and take, and as CattyN basicly said money makes the world go round. This place would be much diffrent if not for pay sites even if those who can't afford/get in them would dissagree. Secondly in a decade or two things what were ON pay sites will eventually become free works posted here. Think of all the countless anime/payed works that are here FREE(though some illegaly(subbed anime is still copyright infringment) which I am fully against). The next time you think about complaining about a pay site think of all the things that you have gotten via a payed/commissoned items that are now free. Or all the free galleries and forums that came from payed sites or out the the kindness of people who PAY for them. Such as this very forum that is generiously donated by someone who has to PAY for the bandwith/site. In sort I think my odd rant is basicly summed up in as such. "Nothing is truely free. Even if YOU are getting it for free." -shuffles off to ramble endlessly on this subject- P.S. I want to thank Bambi and all her minons for her near endless work for our little comunity and for the numerus sites we all take for granted(free or otherwise). |
