"We are a community for artist not a war zone We have a TOS which everyone signed they agree with when creating a account here." I joined long ago. The TOS that I signed and agreed to abide by is not the same TOS that is currently in place. I, too, wish that there was some sort of General Discussion forum, here. For example, when we had 911, I had the tv on, and spoke with real world folks in my little corner of the world, BUT....I could not wait to pop over here to see what the initial reaction was in other places. I remember asking what had happened, and originally being told that it was coincidence. Then, I asked if the crashes would be considered an "Act of War." For some reason, back then, this place was HERE for me, back then. Now, it is just another spot on the web I hit when I'm bored at work. Perhaps, you guys don't really realize what has been lost. Sure, you can cruise along on the Poser cottage industry as long as newbies flock to buy the program...but, hey...this place DID use to be about the Art, and, all the feelings that went along with it. Now, it is more about selling the "Tools" (sure you have forums for most of the programs...why not....most of them foster add ons of some sort). You could easily have a General Discussion forum, if you banned anyone from that forum who slipped into talking politics or religion. They wouldn't have to be site banned, just, banned from General Discussions. But, I know that won't happen. And, as far as spending time helping others....Spike used to write some killer modelling tutorials. Since he has joined the "staff", I have yet to see one. How, exactly, are we being helped? I am not clear on this...You see, those tutorials helped me ALOT.
