i would venture to say tha tif it weren't for these forums, Poser would nott be here anymore. The developers awere regulars on here years ago when Poser was part of Metacreations. Most of the user ideas for Poser came from here. It all went away. I think Anthony Hernandez was about the last person that stayed around.

There is a beginners Poser email list at Yahoo Poser101
