Quote - > Quote - There are tons of ideas we can come up with. I refuse to believe that either installers or zip files are the best possible way to do it. I know better. Comfortable? Maybe, traditional? Maybe... a good user experience for new customers? Absolutely not.

From a content creator point of view, I keep hearing about all these 'new customers', and would like to know more info about DZ direction, so I can tailor my content to fit the general direction - should I choose to contimue makign content for DAZ, but can't seem to pry any kinf od information out.

This makes supporting DAZ a bad risk for me, from a business point of view. Especially considering that this is a 'take no prisoners' kind of a market, sticking you neck your neck out can be very costly. For a small vendor, it can out you out of business, which is close to happning just now.

Another thing is, DAZ keeps talking about 'new customers' but yet you're here trying to appeal to existing or recapture recently aliented customers. They don't want to hear what you want to do to accomodate someone else. It's all very confusing.

THis is a small market there is no denying it. We all know it.  Its one of our main inititives at DAZ 3D to attract new users  to this community and create new 3D "addicts" like us. We have been accused and attacked for "abandoning" the Poser users, we have no intention of doing that, which is why I am here, but NOBODY should have any issue whatsoever with us trying to bring in fresh blood.  Are you saying that you woudlnt give almost anything to reach 100,000 more customers... even if they were complete novices? Adapting to a position where we can appeal to a complete novice AND a seasoned veteran is the goal and we believe it can be done
