Quote - Also, just because you see 50 people talking about or posting images from Lux is no reason to conclude that a majority of users are doing that. In fact, such an assumption is more than absurd. Any trend you think you detect in these forums is usually not a trend for Poser users in general, in the larger sense, outside the Rendo community. The vast majority never speak here and their desires are not reflected by this community very well. I've explained this many many times. For example, so many here are vocally against GC and the new UI, especially the new library.
On the Internet, you do not assess the popularity of something but the total noisiness of a community; 3000 people doing one post per day on a subject generate more noise than 1 million people doing 1 post per year and infinite more than 100 million lurkers who stay silent.
For example, from the Internet it appears that the world uses Linux. If you go to this page you will see that the actual market share of Linux is about 5% of the total; add that it is a web development site, so the population is already skewed towards "unusual" platforms and you see that the picture is quite different from what appears from the loudness of the noise.
Just a question: what is 'GC'?
