Hello, Maconverter is now back on Funstuff, but under protest. The main reason for my decision is the fact, that Maz's PCF is a very important invention to protect MetaCreation's and Zygote's copyright, and that non-availability of any kind will weaken it. It is essential that the format works on all PCs and Macs troublefree for everybody, and I feel responsible to contribute towards this. Before anyone feels the urgent need now to talk about a comeback to the "adult" forum (as happened before), I'd like to state clear, that my hesitation to re-submit has more to do with the behaviour and posts of your adult members than anything with EdgeNet. If anyone spends days, weeks or months working on a creation to be given away for free, (s)he has the BLOODY RIGHT to keep control over it. If the people and the community it was given to moves to a new place for whatever reason, (s)he has the BLOODY RIGHT to take it off the old place completely, or to suspend it temporarily (like I did), in order to wait until it becomes clear what the new owner stands for. The adult audience here probably thinks about the funstuff artists as some sort of clowns in their favourite poser soap opera, and they expect them to function. If anyone takes her and his good right to control their own creation, they start to whistle in disgust because the show has been interrupted for them. Good morning everybody - you are wrong.

I was among the few who kept posting last weekend in order to clear things up, and to talk to anyone with different or similar points of view. Just because I suspended my tool and wasn't barking "Bless EdgeNet, thank you for taking www.poserforum.com" it was enough for certain adults to tell me clearly that they lost any respect of any sort for me, and that they are satisfied to see me go. In a situation, where everyone was emotionally outraged, and lots of people raised their voice for the very first time at all, everyone else here obviously kept silent and agreed. It is not nice to lose just anyone's respect, even if I have strong doubts if I ever got it in the first place. I won't interfere with your own forum talks, but if it turns out that even my pure presence on funstuff annoys a significant number of members, you certainly won't need a third time to tell me to leave permanently. A final note on the most popular non-Zygote animal: Sheep are never revolting. Sheep are staying. Their sole purpose of life is eating and sleeping, and once in a while getting sheared to allow other people selling their wool. If they get a new shepherd, they will never follow the old one. They hardly take notice. If any of the adults want to offend me, please call me lemming. MartinC
