I just came from the Poser forum, and the first page was dominated by product promos (Dog, Freak) - unpaid ads by proud buyers showing off their latest purchase. I was thinking, why not profit by it? In other words, work out a deal with Daz where you allow some number of product promos in the Poser forum per day, and Daz pays you a flat rate of $500 per week or whatever. Let's face it, alot of customers probably click straight over to Daz when they see those unpaid ads for Daz products, so you're missing some good revenue if you don't already have such a deal set up.

As the poserforum is so busy maybe they could turn it in to a pay forum. An annual subscription of $20 or so. Just think of the income!

A better deal might be for the individual artists to try that -- offer DAZ well-placed "look what I just bought!" renders in exchange for store credit ;)

" Thank you for posting this here instead of free stuff. If only everyone else would follow your lead I would never have to visit free stuff again!" -Ragman 7/9/03 "..You obviously don't understand my point based on your quote: "Sorry if it disturbs you that people want to give something away for free." Now where did I say that again? I think the point here is that this forum would be trash if everyone had the attitude that (another quote): "Personally I intend to keep posting larger pics than those itty-bitty thumbnails of my stuff when I feel like it." But that's just my opinion. I guess, Ernyoka, you would gladly give up good technical Poser discussion for a little self promotion. Now I know that that's you business, but it's going to affect me if I can't find answers to my questions because the forum's so bogged down under things like "look at this cool pic I made" or "look at my free stuff"." -Ragman 7/9/03

Why would Daz pay when we do it for free? ;)

"free"
