This is a REAL crock of crap! I've worked retail for years and helped some stores develop websites. Deleting the forum at CP is a face-slap to every customer that visits that site and interacts with OTHER customers THERE!  In a REAL store, other satisfied customers get talked into buying OTHER PRODUCTS by other customers!

If someone I recognize there recommends something, I might well buy it. Same goes for most everyone else around there. Rave word of mouth costs nothing and sells items, as is demonstrated in the DAZ forums.

Eliminating word of mouth sales and customer interaction is SUICIDE for Smith-Micro's Contentparadise store! I've seen it before. This is a death-knell for that entire place.

This level of stupidity is monumental and will cost them valuable sales.

If the economy was as robust as it was two years ago, they might treat people like crap and new people might make up the difference. NOT in this modern state of near depression where people are making every penny count..

After SM goes bankrupt, I hope DAZ buys poser for a song.:laugh: That would suit them. It'd screw us, but maybe not.:blink:
