Quote - > Quote - It's the exact same attitude towards Poser users that was repeatedly voiced by CP Forum moderators time and time again. "Oh, they're just Poser users, a whiney childish bunch!" whenever there was the least bit of a complaint that something wasn't working or that a promised item wasn't being released. Well thank GOD for Rosity, where people are allowed to dissent as long as they don't break the TOS as you've been known to do, by getting personal with attacks.

As an old timer in these parts, I feel I have to comment. It used to be that the forums in the various communities were a place where people shared information. The noise ratio was a lot lower back then. And yes, the Poser and DAZ folks even popped in once in a while and were not only welcome, they were more a part of the community back then as well. That is no longer the case because something has definitely changed along the way. There is WAY too much "dissent"  and it now appears to be fashionable to bash on Smith Micro and DAZ at any available opportunity.

I might be wrong ... but if something doesn't work, what good does it to do complain about it in a forum?  The way I see it is you go to a forum to find out if someone else might be having a similar problem and to see if they found a solution. If your problem is confirmed and no one has yet found a solution, it won't do any good to continue complaining about it in the forums ... the best thing to do is let the appropriate software company KNOW about it so that they can fix it. Anything else is a complete waste of time and energy.

The problem with that point of view Deecy is just this. SM had forums at CP where problems were brought to their attention and instead of resolving them or attempting to resolve them, they closed their forums. Now they want to come here and silence complaints on forums they don't even run, and that's just wrong.

I too get just as tired seeing complaints that have been voiced being repeated adnauseum, but you know what? I'd rather be able to see them and be aware of the issues that others are having when it comes time to make my purchase decisions than to not see any what so ever and walk blindly into a purchase I won't be happy with.

While we're at it, let's look at these Cold Calls SM is now making trying to push people to buy Poser 8 who already HAVE Poser 8. This shows a complete disregard for their customer base! They have my cellphone number along with a valid P8 serial number on file, but yet they'll call my cellphone costing me airtime in order to try to sell me something I already have. At this point I'm sorry I gave my cellphone when I registered but a phone number was asked for and I don't have a land line so I gave it. Now it's costing me money.
