Uhm, I HOPE you're not talking about the posts made at the end of that "is now the time to buy" thread, because they were legitimate inquiries.

The only reason I started coming here is because:

A) I'm an old RayDream user, and some dialogue in other forums about Carrara rekindled my interest (call it nostolgia).

B) At least one member of YOUR forum here came to another forum criticizing that app, and saying Carrara was the best app, and could do just about everything that's in high end apps (which I highly doubted), and made several points about.

In my view, it's not the high end app guys who feel "threatened" and invade mid-range app forums at all. I can't begin to tell you how often someone will start going off about how "overly difficult" and "unnecessary" the high end apps are, and that their mid-range app can do all the same stuff. I believe that's what sets people off, and is what drives them to come to these forums to "prove them wrong" or find out more about what they can do. So I have to wonder... who feels threatened again?? ;-)

I'd seriously consider blaming the influx of people critiquing Carrara and comparing it to expensive software recently on your own users.

That said, I'm definitely impressed and intrigued by Carrara from what I've found out recently, but I'm certainly not prepared to replace my copy of 3dsMax for it, and it has nothing to do with money. I'd gladly pay less for the same results. ;-)
