Quote - What I was wondering:...
Why does Rendo still has a carrara, a daz-studio, a vue and so one forums (or is it fora)?
Is it not against the TOS when you post there? Even the poser forum would be against the TOS, because it's no Rendo-product. Or am I thinking too simple?
First off, ALL of the Software Specific Forums here have ALWAYS been about discussing "How To Use The Software." In Poser, "How do I...."? Same for Bryce, Daz Studio, Vue, Cararra, Zbrush.... adnauseum. Advertising in those forums has always been frowned upon. Period. When the onsite vendors got moved to their own Product Showcase forum, leniency reigned for offsite vendors, but advertising was still frowned upon. This past spring this changed and was announced loudly and clearly. No More Advertising!
There is nothing "Vague" about their software specific forum policies. Now there is no advertising period. Onsite vendors have banners and a whole forum to advertise in and off site vendors are basically out of luck. If they by chance have someone who asks, "Where can I find such and such particular item?" and they happen to have said item, then they can post a link to it and only then. Otherwise, it's off to DAZ Commons to post their adverts.
