Quote - "Not to be too negative against the 'negativity', but I take it that none of you use other forums? Almost every other that I regular (CGTalk, Randi, mine, Daz3D to name a few) uses php-style forums just like this (except mainly phpBB or vBulletin). So, if you really hate this forum, how do you justify going to any others just like this one??? Seems double-standardish to me. Let the flames roll in. ;)"

I frequent a couple of other forums besides the standard 3D ones, several use phpbb, two use vbulletin, and they don't all look like clones of each other (which is one of the reasons I've read for Renderosity using this forum software). They also have avatars, post bumping, threads that show as read properly, support screen resolutions other than 1024x768, different color schemes, and just about every other feature people have been asking for on this forum, and they're quite a bit faster. 2 of the sites, both using vbulletin have far more members than this site, with one having around 131,996 registered members. So for the programmers that say "We can't do that with this software because it can't handle the massive membersize of the site" or claim they can't implement another feature because of software concerns, I'd suggest looking into another, more widely tested, forum software. Heck, if the Wizards of the Coast website can handle literally hundreds of thousands of members, with minor problems (although I don't think their search function works, oh well, nothings perfect), then there is absolutely no reason that a site like Renderosity, which is for many the "main" Poser site, can't get and use a forum software to handle this site's forum needs quickly and painlessly for both users and programmers.
