Well, I'm cross posting from another thread on the same topic (good grief, this is the topic du jour, isn't it?) I don't know why it is considered such a strain to click on the Product Marketplace....this is the laziest group of people I've ever met. It's a click, no more than that. I go there. I buy as a result of what I see there. I actually like it better than the Poser Forum because the atmosphere is better. I love shopping for stuff...but I'm not going to buy something just because everyone else is nor do I want to be limited to only one vendor because that's the vendor that everyone talks up on the Poser forum. Yes, the Milleneum cat is cool. So is the Southwestern theme from RuntimeDNA. So is nearly everything at PoserWorld. So are the sales at PoserPros. So is the Renderosity Marketplace. And Sams3D models. And Lyne's animals. And others who never show up in the Poser forum. As a buyer, I don't want to see merchants chased off because of inertia on the part of the community. Of course free stuff goes faster than stuff with a price tag (let's see...why would that be? Oh yeah, it's free!) I know it's a struggle for anyone to make money on the marketplace...it's a struggle for me to find things that I want to buy sometimes. I make the effort because I enjoy it. I don't need to be spoon fed products...apparently that's what some community members want. I just want to be able to see what the merchants have to offer and not have them harrassed when they are trying to produce something new. I don't mind going to another website to buy something special, but I have to know where it is for me to do so. And, hey, you would be aghast at how much I spend on this hobby...but doesn't the fact I'm willing to pay for product give me any kind of vote in the matter? There must be a solution. But given the overall attitude around here, I doubt if any change would be accepted.
