So let me get this straight. Some want too create a poser hall of fame, too "celebrate all the great innovators of Poser". 

Yet don't want to include those who are directly responsible for there being a Poser to innovate to begin with.

Poser unlike this fairytale myth that some just won't let go of, is not about the art, it's about the money. All one has to do, is just look down in our very own copyright forum and you'll see that.

So that said.

Without the end user to buy Poser, there wouldn't be a Poser to begin with. 

No Poser to begin with, and no innovations for Poser, or addons for Poser, or items for use in poser. LOL

I mean for example, surely no one here seriously thinks that Zygote, Curious labs, or DAZ would have created anything for Poser if there never was a market for Poser to begin with do they?

As the obvious answer to that question is NO. It is the end user who deserves to be given some credit for driving innovation.

Lastly if there is going to be a "hall of fame" and I don't think there should for many reasons, then those who truly deserve the credit are the original creators of poser in the first place, and oddly enough to date I dont see any of their names listed on the above list.
