Quote - What do you think brings the customers here in the first place, US artist.  Without us and our nudie pics, this place would be a Ghoast Town.

I'm not so sure. I was originally attracted to this site for the shear volume of Poser content available at that time (2002). I began reading the forums are have been amazed that so many people have clever techniques to make their "hobby level" program do incredible things. So earlier in the thread you say that  "If I Forget" gets more hits in 15 minutes than any of your nudes. Why do you think that is? Because nudes are so common that perhaps people are interested to see something "not nude". Granted, there's a fair number of landscapes in the gallery and some really exceptional work (Meats Meier is my current favorite); mostly everything else is skin, seduction related or flat out soft-core.

There's stellar work at several other sites that don't rely on nudity. There's another site that specializes in rendered nudity. I like this site the most because there is usually a sense of community and lacks the condescending tone found at other sites.

Since I have been demoted from my screen tag to merely "US artist", I see that our differences in opinion cannot be rectified. I haven't been to your gallery but I can't understand why you so vehemently defend nudity. I'm not arguing prudeness (I'm quite liberal actually, and I live an alternative lifestyle) ; I'm arguing desensitization and I'm arguing against overexposure.
