First, by allowing any advertising in the Poser forum, you're opening another grey door. What is advertising, and what is a WIP? Wording can help make it more acceptable, but it's still a form of advertising. Who's going to decide the rules for what goes over the line? We have enough problems deciding if some picture of some partially clad fae is over 18. If you're thinking of putting something up for sale, stick to Product Showcase. I don't even post Vittorio freebies in the Poser forum, since they're for a figure that I designed. Yes, I'd get a lot more traffic on them, but since they're advertising for my product, they belong in Product Showcase. And there are a LOT of freebies for Vittorio. Some people at other sites complained that I was flooding the freestuff notices by posting a new freebie every day or so. Can you imagine the complaints if I'd done it in the Poser forum here? Maybe we need a forum for just Product Development? Of course, that'd get even less traffic than Product Showcase, so we'd get even less input...
