Yea, the main reason I have a forum is that it gives me a nice access restricted place for beta testing and interaction with collaborators.

There's a spot for freebie downloads and product support, but they are very seldom visited.

I'm 'hooked up' with Posershoppers, but I always forget to go there, for the exact same reason that there are too many places to go. Between promoting my stuff in the galleries here, and DAZ commons and a few emails and PM's, the time I have for it is gone. I don't go to RDNA and CP nearly as much as I would like to, for the same reason.  I don't even visit the remaining forums here and at DAZ very frequently for the same reason.

I really wish the no commercial no freebie rule was not in existance here. Like I said, it's one of the main reasons I'm at the commons more and more, and showing my work there too. As a consequence, it looks like my products are likey to gravitate in that direction too. It's a bit of a bummer because Renderosity is my place of origin - so to speak. But, it's gotten too restrictive here. DAZ not only lets me advertise my stuff there, in their busies forum, but it doesn't even require that it be sold at DAZ. Eventually you start asking yourself, why do I hang out at DAZ, but sell at Rendo, especially since DAZ wants my creations.

Interestingly, I'm seeing a number of people whom were vocal about putting those "no commercials" rules in place at DAZ commons too. Content, purchased content is a big part of this hobby. Not being able to advertize or talk about content (without people getting suspicious someone put you up to advertizing) is, well, too restrictive for my comfort.

Sorry, I'm sidetracking the thread here... :(
