Wow.  And I was accused of being snippy.  And potentiall self-righteous, but, maybe I'm reading into it a bit.

See, I've always seen the galleries as...well, kind of like paid cable.  Even though they're free (unless you need to upload more than 1 image per day).  Though I may choose to, once in a while, view the...oh, let's call 'em what they are...porn chanels, when it's my choice to do so, It drives me batshit when Cinemax turns to soft-core porn at 8pm.  So, I change the channel.

This is the gist of what I'm getting from a lot of people who are, in fact, for the change, even though they very much like to view the nudes.

They want to see your [sic] well-done nudes.  They want you to work for and earn their views.  They do not want to be treated like boobie-seeking morons.  Which, in essence, is what those thumbs are.  It used to be, a sure-fire way to get the hits was to just click "nudity" on your upload.  Then, came the blatant boobie shots. 

And, sorry to say, hit numbers, and scads of "ooh, ahh, that roxorzzzz@!" comments don't mean a thing.  Well, it means you've got some friends on this site.  And, yeah, I comment on my friends' images.  When they warrant commenting.  If I don't have anything to say, I"m not going to tell them that it's the most amazing thing that my eyes have ever graced the surface of.  If it sucks, I let them know, usually offsite, or, in Instant Messenger if I happen to be on. 

Also, in conclusion, I think this community, as a whole, needs to lighten the hell up.  I mean, FFS, do you really think that this argument will matter in 10 years?  It's arguments like THIS one that make most Poser-oriented sites a laughingstock.  Face it.  It's not the plastic inflataboobs.  I can get that look in Lightwave if I wanted.  It's not the stock figures.  I can get those for Cinema 4D or Maya if I wanted.  It's the titty squabbles.  It's the "You're stepping on my GOD-GIVEN RIGHT to post the biggest boobies EVER in the gallery!!!"  (well, they're not, really, but, well, you go ahead and believe that.  If it makes you feel special.) It's these arguments, which usually end up being about nothing BUT boobs that make Poser forums and sites "laughingstocks".
And, you know....these arguments end up shooting OURSELVES in the ass.  Because we're all a bunch of kids that want to argue about something that's not going to matter in a year or so.
So, g'head.  Because, you know, your way is the only way, and it's completely obvious that the rest of us are wrong.  Because we dont' agree with ya.
