Some time ago I had an idea of creating a texture database. Well that
idea has grown a bit and I have started work on a site I'm calling the
Pov-Vault. I hope it will become a portal of sorts to pov users. I will
try to have anything and everything "pov" related on the site, including
my original idea of a texture database. Also it would be nice if I could
consolidate some other resources out there. For example , Ken I would be
very pleased indeed if I could add your extensive links collection to
the page. Also if anyone else has any sizable resource of links or
textures or anything please let me know if I can use them. Also I will
be creating a mega gallery of sorts with links to as many personal
Pov-Ray galleries as I can find. Don't worry I will give everyone who
adds to the site credit. So what do you think?

I just updated the essentials section of the Pov-Vault page. Note: I know I
don't have ALL the official builds of Pov-Ray there yet, I got tired and
stopped, will finish it next time. I also plan on adding unofficial
versions, like Nathan Kopps UvPov. If you know of other unofficial versions
let me know, also please give me their home pages too.

Since I have provided access to my links publicly there is little
I can do to stop you or anyone else from copying the entire collection.
With the taking of the links goes the responsibility of maintaining them.
Once they leave my site I am no longer responsible for their up keep.
I can tell you from direct personal experience that this is no small
task and one you should consider carefully. For instance I have about
15 links that I know need to be deleted or change to reflect changes
to the URL's for them plus I have a backlog of about 70 new links I
need to add to the list. You would really have to hustle to keep up
with me. I generally bookmark and average of twenty new sites a week.
Sometimes that many in a day if my travels on the net are fruitful.
I will be stepping up the heat for a while now that I have an outlet
for them so figure the size of the current links collection should
double in the net 2 - 3 months or so. I have been holding back a
little up to now but the stops are out and things are a changin.
You could as easily link to my site and have a lengthy description
of why it would be in a visitors best interest to take a trip to my
page and what kind of content they will find once they are there.
That way you provide a useful service without having the maintenance
headaches involved.
One thing I will try to guarantee right now is that my site will
remain a site that will NOT be an advertising, banner spammer,
geocities pop up nuisance, animated nightmare, slow loading,
Java Script don't work, frivolously framed folly for as long as I
maintain it. My ISP (bell telephone) has just installed a multi
million dollar state of the art system and connection times to my
site should be as fast as your connection to the net is. I do have
a band width limit but hopefully I wont have to worry about exceeding
it as long a I keep it simple which are my current plans anyway.
I intend it to be an information resource and not an amusement site.
It's your call but think carefully about it first.

AMEN!
I usually manage to close them in under half a second - or turn off
JavaScript altogether. I also tend to turn off loading images. But that's me
in Estonia with a crappy connection to the world /END WHINING/

Thanks for trying to save me the work but I think I will try and add the links
to my page anyway, unless you personally object to this somehow? What I will
do is put a notice saying that not all the links are guaranteed to work and to
visit your page for the most up to date version of the links.
