I understand your point of view. I was once there my self before I started modeling and making different things. So I do understand what your saying and the purpose behind it, but I must speak from the perspective of a modeler. The thing with this community is this, it has become very selfish. People (those who don't contribute) way out number those who do. When I see comments DEMANDING the release of a model that has been shown off in the gallery, it makes me angry. Those people don't understand the hard work and time it takes to make the models that have since been released on here. Not every model that is shown off has to or is going to be released. There has become this idea that "if you showcase it, why not release it?" Or "your just showing it off to look cool." I can honestly say that kind of thing makes me not want to release models. Unfortunately thats only one of the problems. The other is the SEVERE lack of respect for peoples; models, parts, dev items, ideas, etc. people go out and abuse the things they are given, either releasing them without permission, claiming them as their own, or ripping models. It has become such a huge problem that no modelers want to release anything. Just because someone post a pic of a model that isn't released or won't be released, doesn't mean their trying to be rude or get publicity. Their doing it because they like to show off their work of art.
Unfortunately their are growing issues within the community. Not with the community it's self but the people who want to do this kind of thing.
