I don't think anyone is pointing a finger at anyone in particular Apple_UK :o). I think that most are just old timers such as myself who have watched from the very beginning. Things went from generous people everywhere sharing their creations with everyone else (freebies were all you could get here in the early years and there WAS no store). Even in the early years of the store, there was some innovative stuff going on...some in the community caught on to mat pose files, easy pose, geometry switching, JCM's....just to name a few. There is still some of that going on, especially with the wizards of Python and bagginsbill and his shader work. There are always mavericks in the community who pave the way for the rest of us. It just seems that there are fewer now than there used to be and more end-users.

I myself give my stuff away because I only like to make what I like, not what seems to be norm around here. It probably wouldn't sell well anyway. But if someone can use it and likes it, it's enough for me :o). I never, ever start a project thinking "will anyone use this?" I don't really care...lol.
