What we need is... a GENERAL Forum!

That seems to be what most of the people are really saying, and what constitutes the main problem with the Poser Forum. Some of us want it to be JUST about Poser and others want it to be about EVERYTHING, so why can't we have BOTH?

In a general forum you could allow all sorts of OT's and Birthday greetings etc. without diluting the purpose of a real Poser Forum. Then the Poser forum could concentrate on real Poser issues without all sorts of distractions. Of course, most people would really WHINE about this, so the only way to really do it would be to shut the Poser forum down completely for at least 30 days while people grew accostomed to the General Forum. (Actually, just rename THIS forum the General forum and you're done - then in about 30 days create a new Poser forum). I think that alone would do more to stop the bickering and make TOS enforcement easier than anything else because it reduces the contradictions of purpose, and provides the proper venues for a real community. That AND a better search engine which at least did a boolean AND for multi-word searches would be a big help.
