This policy seems so shortsighted to me. I think Renderosity ought to survey its forum users to determine exactly what brings people to participate in the forums.
Because for myself, I would list, first, news -- and yes I do mean there's a sale here, this is free there; second freebies -- no longer available in the Poser Forum and then help/technical information.
If a user has a very strong skillset, it could be the news and freebies were what drew them here, as they stop frequenting the forum a trickle down effect occurs until there's a danger of winding up with a forum full of frustrated beginners who can't answer each others questions.
