Do you create your own content?
Yes. Dynamic clothing, figures, and meshes. No textures.
I always use my own lights and cameras, and while I use premade poses as starting points, I always tweak them for the scene at hand.
**
Do you create content for other poser users and share them as freebies?**
Yes. Mostly dynamic clothing, also some conforming clothes and standalone figures. Plus Python scripts.

Do you sell your content here ot at some other site?
Not yet, but there's a package in the making.

**Do you make use of freebies?
**Yes. Quite a lot, actually

Do you purchase content?
Yes. My credit card hates me by now.

**Do you like Work in Progress (WIP) threads by people whom really know their stuff?
YES! I can learn quite a lot from those threads, and I incorporate what I learn into my selfmade content. I think that my newer freebies are higher quality than my oldies, at least partly due to what I've learned from this kind of thread.
**
Do you want to see more or less WIP threads?
More!

Would you like to see/know what your favorite content makers are up to and have a chance to make input, or learn from the process?
Yes. See my view on WIP threads.

**Would you like to see some of the top artists post WIP's of how they think through and put together a scene?
**Yes. There's always so much more to learn!

**Do you like busy general broad spectrum of topics forums or forums with fewer participants and more narrowly defined purpose?
**Busy forums are more fun. Also, when starting a thread, it's easier to figure out in what forum it should go. Last but not least, I tend to scan the busier forums for interesting threads - fewer forums means easier scanning. So I prefer the more general forums.

Would you like to see some of the less busy rendo forums consolidated, or even brought under the umbrella of Poser forum?
Could be useful. For example, Poser Technical and Poser Python Scripting often have threads that cross over from the inner workings of Poser to Python and back, it would be better IMO to merge these forums.

Would you like to see new forums?
Can't think of another forum that would be useful here.

**Would it bother you if vendors and freebie makers were allowed to talk about their projects in here?
**No. As long as it's not blatantly commercial, I would LIKE to read about products, their pros and cons, user experiences and wishes and such in the main Poser forum.

Galleries - more categories or less?
Get rid of the different applications and allow more than one genre per upload. Many, if not most of the uploads in the galleries have been created using multiple applications.
And many uploads fit in more than one genre. Every single image I've uploaded fits at least two genres, often as many as four or five.
Some genres don't make sense to me. "Insects" for example - I thnk that it should be renamed to "macro", so closeups of water drops and stalks of grass would sit in the same genre as closeups of beetles and spiders.
Oh, and we're definitely missing the NVIATWAS genre!

**Content - what's a bigger consideration for you, price or quality?
**Quality. Although price is a consideration too. More than once I decided not to buy a high quality item, because I thought it was too expensive. But I will NEVER buy an item when I know it is of mediocre quality, no matter how cheap.

Are there things I didn't think of asking here, that you want to share your opinion on?
Probably, but I can't think of anything right now.

How long is a piece of string?
I think that ghonna explained this perfectly.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
