I was gonna mention the Vue Galleries group on Facebook. Their posted work is better than what you're used to seeing here and at C3D recently. The dwindling post-counts on the Vue forums in general are the result of hobbyists not playing E-on's catch-up game every six months when I new beta is released that may (or not) work with current scenes that may (or not) be editable again once saved using a newer version of Vue.
Users go elsewhere to find software that doesn't go bye bye after six months. They want software that will get added features and bug fixes for it where it might be a few years before a new version is released. The pros have long left Renderosity for other sites. The hobbyists, tired of software updates that break bridges with other apps until they get updated to break another app, have found other hobbies by now since Vue 6 split into so many Vue packages and E-on started charging way more for Infinite and xStream to help pay for Pioneer, Frontier, Studio, Complete, etc. E-on couldn't stay in business if it relied only on its dollar menu. So it has to charge much more for its fancy hamburgers to cover costs.
Bryce usually does awesome forum post-counts. Bryce only recently split into two products. After 2 or 3 more splits, their forum visits will dwindle also. :)
