Let's ring in the new year! Actually, for me it's January 1st 2003 6:15 PM where I'm at. It's been a very busy and crazy few years for me when I signed on with Curious Labs in 2001. Since 2001, the world has changed and it hasn't changed for the best. But, I like to remind myself that there is always good out there and it outweighs and overcomes everything else. The past few years have been energetic and interesting, none the less. With that said, I am going to bid a fond farewell to the Renderosity forum as a Curious Labs employee. Since my days working on Poser 3, it has been a great ride and a pleasure working on Poser and interacting with this wonderful community called Renderosity and companies such as NewTek, Discreet, VUE, Maxon, Pixels, DAZ3D, 3d-cc.com, and last but not very least, IW43D. Before I left on vacation, I was confronted by a good friend of mine who is the director of Graphics Arts at a local college. He offered me an instructor position. Beginning in January, I will be pursuing this as well as other ventures. I wish everyone best wishes for the future especially, Larry Weinberg, Steve Cooper, Spike, JeffH, Lyrra, Sacred Rose, Cris Palomino, BLRender, Keith Alstrom, PhilC, Kevin Amery, SirKrite, Pam Gray, Harvey Mann, Legume, Nerd, Anek, JKim, Brier, Ringo, Nosfiratu, Tori Porter, Al Wilbrand, thgeisel, Philywebrider, reiss-studio, ScottA, Catharina and the gang at Mec4D, Christian B, Joe Grover, QB White, Jeff Flower, Syyd and Colm, Seath Ahrens, Jack Walther, Rose Wahlin, Karen Cooper, Patty Conroy, Katherine, Shen, Fish and Staci, Helyn, Marc, Jake Linder, Stefan, pdxjims, lalverson, neftis, Tirjasdyn, leather-guy, Spit, Arendar, Artist3D, soulhuntre, BECamation, libertyart, nakamuram, arboruriam, uknight, pixelslave, saxon, Dagon, Erlik, EricofSD, quinlor, TygerCub, quixote, redon634, bloodsong, dlfurman, bshafer, Erlik, PJF, Dan Farr, Micah, Rachael, Reba, Rob Whisant, JOE LE GECKO, mepnomis, wdupre, Jcleaver,Dagon, yggdrasil, mariner, Niki, zechs, c1rcle, volfin, ARCHITECT, Dave71, wolf 357, willdial, Lapis, MindVision-GDS, milamber42, kristinf, JetM, PeterKovach, Zed, Zrincx, Kelderek, AprilYSH, Exotica, williamsheil, quixote, jefa111, dragonfly2000, Hydra, wtsmith, vilters, hpdrag, Paula Sanders, Puntomaus, redon634, kristinf, Hisminky, aleks, ilr, 1Freon1, jelisa, narsil, Commander_18, Stormrage, DoctorTed, Dave-so, 3DMark, pokeydots, Alchera, dialyn, layingback, Macsen, ghost13, arrow1, sekhet, dcasey0284, Mason, Huolong, marvlin, PabloS, JetM, mountainmaster, beniceman, lalverson, mickmca, Marque, MadYuri , Velen, Lorraine, RnRWoman, bkriter, ChromeTiger, williamsheil, sekhet, PoseMe , hpdrag, tasmanet, firecircle, ronmolina, Zrincx, compiler, ablc, herr67, Nate, ockham, Poserfiend, Kingfisher, alvon123, Jaager, GraphicFoxx, Mycrofted, dcasey0284, dragonfly2000, praxis22, littlefox, rogson, arrow1,, Jaqui, dialyn , BAM, Kasheera, AprilYSH, wgreenlee1, doldridg, TH, Crescent, tellmewhatulike, Wombat, milamber42, Jcleaver, depakotez, Gerry, wayneout, nyguy, Puntomaus, aleks, ockham, silver, wrpspeed, Kagato98, fauve, bracer, Stormrage, Mazak, corax, Crescent, Thorgrim, Bodo, LeRoy50, black cat, MeInOhio, mabfairyqueen, JBondo, wimvdb, chanson, sekhet, depakotez, LeRoy50, kfox, yggdrasil, gstorme, d4500, fauve, yggdrasil, hpdrag, Misfire, jamball77, quinlor, jobcontrol, Tirjasdyn, Zrincx, willdial, volfin, yoshi123, GraphicFoxx, ClintH, Terry Mitchell, Kenmac, Macsen, Ajax, ockham , virus, slink_001, and last but not least, Carolly. When things settle in, I wish to return to Renderosity. I hope that I will be welcomed back (as a civilian) into the Poser forum as a fellow artist and member, and not to some as an adversary. Thanks for letting me be a part of your world for the past four years. Be well, -Brian Romero aka DefaultGuy

Oh my. The very best to you in your new career, Brian. It's hard to see such an 'old timer' team member go. I remember those 'old' days when the announcement of animals in Poser 3 made me literally cry with joy. Teaching gives immeasurable rewards but don't be a stranger around here.

Good Luck with your new career & don't stay away too long :) Happy New Year!!!!

Best of luck in your new job, Brian. Take care, and thanks for everything! ...hope to see you from you time to time :o) Happy New Year ! -Dagon

Every best wish for the future.

ROTFL 'Catharina and the gang at Mec4D :o) A Happy New Year, and good luck!!! Mazak

Dear Brian, best wishes to you too and much success. Happy New Year 2003 Warm Hugs!! Catharina and the gang at Mec4D :) Buhahaha

Happy New Year Brian and all! :) Brian, best of luck at your new job. :) And sorry if we drove you buggy. ;) Couldn't help the pun.

Who's left over there? :)) All of my best wishes for the New Year and the new career. I have to envy your students. You'd be a wonderful addition to any faculty. Good luck to you and the family. And THANK YOU for your work on Poser and the beta forum. Hope to see you soon. Q

Best wishes to you all for the new year. :) By the way Default Guy, are you in any way related to the late actor, Caesar Romero? If so, you and I are distantly related. :)

Best wishes for the future Brian! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!! Dave :-)

Hey Brian.... Good luck to you in your new endeavors... Want to thank you for all the hard work over the last couple of months, especially, and the individual/patient responses to my problems.... Will look forward to your return here ;) Peace

Brian, Thanks for all your amazing efforts. Much luck in the new year and in the new position. Come back as one of the herd as soon as you can, we miss you already.

That's one hell of a list you got compiled there Brian. 8-) I guess that means bad things are happening at CL. But I'm glad to hear that you found something else. Sounds like a cool change of pace. Don't be a stranger. ScottA

I wish you all the best for your new adventures. You won't be a stranger when you come back here (as a civilian :). Happy New Year, Willy

Congratulations and Best Wishes! Cres

Best of luck to you Brian. Happy new year.

Happy New Year and best wishes for every success in your new ventures!...I hope that this year brings you great fortune and happiness!...

Best wishes and Happy New Year to you! (and DefaultKid too hehe) :)

:OOOHHHH NOOOOO! I wrote you a personal e-mail so I'll try to be brief. Besies, I have to go to the grocery store now to purchase more Kleenex :( As Jimmy Buffet would say, "It's Been a Lovely Cruise". You will be sorely missed, Here's to a Happy and Prosperous New Year for you and Aimee. Tom and I wish you nothing but the best, Brian... So A BIG HUG AND KISS to you from Pam and Tom. (Well I'm sure Tom would rather give that last part to Aimee, but I try my best to make him behave ;) Rather than Adios, I prefer to say "Hasta luego, mi Amigo." (Now off to Vons for those paper products ;( peeg

Brian, I hope everything goes superbly, both as an instructor and in any additional undertakings. Being tapped to teach others is a high compliment! {hug} You are a welcome part of this community, so we'll be glad for your posts under whichever name. Happy 2003! Carolly

Best of luck to you Brian. Thanks for the work you've put into making Poser what it is today! I know you can teach us a lot about Poser 5 - Hope to see you back here soon.

Brian, Wow, What can I say, I am speechless. CL is loosing another great employee, The little that I was able to work with you, was a real pleasure. Good luck with your new teaching job. Can't wait to see you back in here as a civilian, you really are a great guy. Take Care, Christian
