My biggest quip - not that it affects me whatsoever - is that Renderosity made its name, brings home the bread and butter, and is the largest site all with respect to Poser.  Should be simple to see where I'm a goin' huh?

Let's talk to each other like we're five year olds.

  1. What is Poser for?  Hmmm.  Working with 3d figures, most of which represent human beings so that they can be "Posed" and eventually rendered.

  2. How would that affect renders (and galleries)?  Since most users here use Poser and most of Poser involves working with 3d representations of human beings, one must suspect that most of the gallery would be renders of 3D human beings from Poser (or related).

  3. Art - well, art doesn't have to involve human beings and some of it doesn't - but surprisingly, human beings seem to find artwork involving other human beings to be compelling and interesting (probably something to do with empathy, aesthetics, and some other internal brain wiring).  If this weren't the case, art from cavemen to now wouldn't be so rife with humans in one form or another.

This all begs the question - what's the use of a website that depends on Poser that has a gallery where you can't show renders of human beings unless they are wearing non-descript boxes, large coats, or non-form fitting armor plating?

My advice: stop complaining and move your galleries to other sites that aren't towing a commerical business line and are instead geared towards actual art.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
