Autumn is a time when all mammals begin to slow down, and we are mammals. It is also a time when even the stoutest of souls can suffer a tad bit of depression, and managers in the IT industry begin to put pressure on to complete projects harder than in the spring and summer months, etc. I would not panic and think the Poser users are in a permanent slump. Instead, I think most are probably regenerating their creative juices with much needed rest, or else like myself are so deeply involved in a very difficult project in Poser that their time is taken up. I do not even attribute this quietness to the various forum wars. If anything, I believe the quietness is something long overdue. Now one can truly focus on perfecting skills and art. It is nice to see a quiet forum, where there is not a brujajah a week or more.
