Well, first off, let me say that I am not a D|S user.

To post what you did, where you did could easily be construed as inflammatory. Just because people were complaining about D|S doesn't mean they were primed for someone to lead them all to Poser.

Stick around, there are plenty of die hard Poser users who rant about Poser's inadequacies, real or perceived. They're not looking for someone to jump in and lead them all to Studio Max. And from what you say they were frustrated about... You were pitching to dyed in the wool D|S users that aren't frustrated with DAZ studio, they're frustrated that Merchants aren't supporting DAZ Studio-- the program that they love.

DAZ is a very canny marketing machine, they give away a limited program, with the knowledge that they'll secure a user base for content. They sell modules and add-ons for that free limited program, that frankly, will probably in the near future equal, if not surpass Poser.

I'm not surprised that your post was not deleted. DAZ has a very, very supportive user base. They may complain about DAZ-- the same way you might complain about a member of your family-- but they'll take it very poorly if someone they perceive to be an outsider does. They might even label you a troll.
