Quote - I am merely trying to point out that we've seen lotsa "dark cloud" category predictions being made thoroughout Poser's (admittedly short) history.  So far: NONE of those predictions have come to pass

Well.... that's true up to a point, but I remember the P5 times only too well, and while predictions may have been wrong, a lot of the complaints were dead on the money.

Anyone remember the Challenge Code? 3 strikes and yer out? If the forum users hadn't kicked up merry hell about that one, we might all be sitting here with dud copies of poser. People pointed out, (justifiably as it turned out), that if the company went bust, we wouldn't be able to e-mail them for 3 fresh codes. CL eventually removed it, and Lo! and Behold!, half the stability problems plaguing P5 miraculously vanished overnight. Turned out that the Challenge Code was one of the major reasons P5 was so unstable.

So, hey... let's all be merry and happy, sure. But let's not get carried away to the point of forgetting history, because sometimes it repeats itself.
