...there was a young boy (OK, so he was mid-40's) who discovered a MAGIC piece of software. It let him move and pose and color figures, just like reeeeaaaalll people. But it wasn't easy for him to understand, so he started a search to find where the secrets to the new MAGIC software. He looked first at one site, then at another, and finally he discovered the WONDERFUL LAND OF RENDEROSITY. Pink Ponies flew there. People were helpful and friendly. Everyone treated everyone like an adult. It was amazing. There were wonderful things to buy there, and though he often went hungry, his Poser People were very well dressed and housed. His favorite land was Forumland. It was ruled by and EVIL OVERLORD named Lyrra, who really was a very nice lady with taste and amazingly good common sense. He was happy there. But then, things started to change. Rules that were simple became more complex. HIs favorite guilds in the new world, the vendors, left without taking more of his money to go to places where they got a better cut. The EVIL OVERLORD was asked to leave, and it seemed like she took al the common sense and even handedness with her. Things got worse, as people were threatened with the dreaded WARNINGS. Some were even BANNED (maybe at the stake, who knows?). He mentioned another site, but it was a TABOO place that couldn't be mentioned, and he was made sore afraid. He'd always wanted to be once of the enlightened VENDORS, but he didn't feel appreciated anymore. So he sold his stuff at another land called DAZ. Then he slowly went away.... looking for a pink pony again. ...little jimmi wants the pink ponies and evil overlords back. ...no matter how many times he clicks his ruby slippers, it don't feel like home...
