Sort of reminds me of the old "Digital Divas" sparring matches. Yep, I've been around that long, and many of the original artists left the folds of the art communities for various reasons. Generally the issues of the groups needing certain performance from it's members by creation of product or news articles by deadline dates, led many away and resulted in hurt feelings on both sides of the so-called fence. The communities overall never seemed to be able to understand the importance of personal issues over participation/non-participation. I take no stance or opinion on either side of this, but have known many of the personalities involved for a long time and know that it will not be an easy decision in whatever happens by DAZ's management and involved brokers.
