Quote - I agree with Anton again. Daz has moved forewards, creating art zone's marketplace, that can accept product for character NOT sold at Daz. They are opening things up, and at the same time renderosity is closing things down.

I frequent here because the majority of informed users is here, and I have many freinds here.. but many are migating over to Daz's forums and groups, because of rendo's "grip tightening" over the last year or so.

And I agree with you once again.
LightWave people seem to have a better grip on reality for some reason. ;-)

Myself, I don't have any personal stake in it. I'm not a merchant and I rarely buy Poser stuff, but when I do, it's from DAZ. Just because I know there's going to be more quality check beyond it simply loading...
I just force myself to make what I want myself, and generally do without if I can't. Usually I succeed.

But my take on it is just that it's sad, almost, to see this once way-cool community slowly die as it has been trying to do for years now. God only knows what holds it all together, but with each and every new Policy, the glue becomes a little bit weaker.
