Klaus - I'm really not sure how these statistics impact you as an artist, but no where does it state that a person that registers has to have an artist's page or gallery or freestuff to be considered active. Technically, an active member is one that has signed up and that has visited the site in the past year - be it one or more times. There's no efficient way to ascertain what many members are doing here. I'm sure that many come here to learn and may not be comfortable posting their work. I've noticed many members that participate in the forums but have no gallery or artist pages as well. On the other hand, there are probably people that come to look at the artwork of others but may have no talent of their own. Regardless of why a person signs up, I cannot see how it would be beneficial to discriminate against members who do not participate in the community in a way that satisfies what you've laid out to be your requirements. I think it's safe to assume that some people have visited this site without ever knowing anything about Poser, Bryce, Vue, etc. and probably left the site with a new found interest in digital art and may have become digital artists themselves. To put it simply, we have many people that participate only in a particular areas of the site rather than all areas of the site. This site is a learning tool and resource for anyone that is interested in digital art, not just those that participate on a larger scale as you have suggested. Tommy Renderosity Admin/Programmer
