In regards to all of us here in the Poser community, the thing I love most about it is seeing how much everyone loves this program that we are all SO addicted to. I think that is one of the reasons that most of us are here.

That's right, most of us are addicted to Poser, but most of us aren't part of the poser community. There are far more users then people participating in the community. That's only a small core compared to the fast number of Poser users.

I'm just a Poser user, but for sure addicted. If they close down the forums here (or anywhere else) I would shed a tear. I use Poser becasue it does what I need and because of the team behind it. My experience with E-Frontier has been very pleasant and as fas as I'm concerned they're great people. That's what makes me even more loyal to Poser. With most other applications I don't have the same as with Poser, they're just tools and if there's a better tool around, I'll trade any day. But not with Poser.

As for the community, I've taken my distance from it over the last year. Perhaps it's because I'm using Poser in a different way then most and don't fit it. Also the stuff most create with Poser, doesn't interest me at all.

 

It's not about the bucks. It's not about the politics. It's not about who knows who, and who does what, and who the top merchants are. It's about loving what you do, making sure that you enjoy it, and helping others enjoy it too.

That may be so in your case, but that's not the general drift in the poser world..... The poser world is all about money, it is all about who you know and who sells the most. The poser world goes from hype to hype, from sale to sale and some of the tactics a number of vendors use to sell is sick at times.

I truly believe that Anton demonstrated that type of spirit for a very long time.

With this I completely disagree. You may have noticed a strong anti-Apollo movement between the lines. That wasn't because of Apollo, that was because of the way a good number of potential customers were treated by Anton. Apollo could have become big, if Anton would not have spoiled it for himself. The side and attitiude of Anton I've seen around here (and in personal dealings with him) made me decide never to buy Apollo. That's why I'm not suprised that in the end the ship sunk.

Sorry to say so, but I found my dealings with Anton very unpleasant, unlike most of the vendors I deal with. I've built up a good releationship with a number of them over the years and found them always very helpful and courtious. Can't say that of Anton at all.
