Kix, 1) No, unless you feel you need some assistance. I say no, simply because last night I posted a question and had a great answer within hours. I don't post alot simply because I'm lucky enough to say, I have alot of work on the books. But I do visit 3 times a week and read through threads. Which seems always to give me another pearl of wisdom. 2) Haven't visited. Shame on me. But a forum can never have too many resource avenues. 3) I think the Resource CD is a great idea, but possibly could be handled a bit more proactively. Instead of waiting for volunteers, turn it into a marketing feature. Invite certain Carrara users (say 5-10 individuals) to utilize the CD to show their work and skills. Then market the CD within Rosity and other applicable sister sites. It would turn it into a specific project driven item. Just a thought. 4) I try to enter the ones I have time for...I see it as a community gathering event, and try to support when my schedule allows. 5) Another time sensitive issue. Haven't had the time to participate, but my schedule allows, I will. 6) Can't speak to this...I have chat in my own art forum TrollzBane, and I don't use it there. I just don't have time for chatting. 7) Agreed. Maybe it's not more needed, but rather a different rollout on all above. IMHO But I will say, the forum is VERY helpful, and I always leave knowing something I didn't before. And Kix, kudos to you for a job well done. Kat
