Quote - > Quote - I find the whole concept of this thread disingenuous.  If DAZ doesn’t miss the sales from the angered Poser users, who were banned from their forums or left of their own will, why come here - to a Poser forum - to clear up misconceptions or to speak to the misinformation bandying about the Poser-verse.  If DAZ doesn’t miss the revenue, than why come here and bring the topic up?  The facts are clear enough.  Genesis is for DAZ Studio - at least for now.  End of story.

I’m not interested in DAZ software.  I am a Poser user.  As for the DAZ installers, that’s kept me from purchasing any number of items from their store.  I prefer ZIP files.  The installers create unnecessary folders, temp files and don’t allow a custom placement of items into my Runtime.  The whole, V4 must be installed to the root Runtime - and being forced to create a dummy Poser.exe file to install the files where I like - was the last straw.

There a number of talented artists selling through the DAZ Website, and it these artists went out on their own or made their products available sans DAZ installers they would win over by business.  Poser is a hobby.  I don’t NEED anything DAZ has to offer, and there are plenty of fine content providers found elsewhere.

Best wishes to DAZ.  It’s been fun.

 

The whole thing is making me wonder too and maybe you are correct. Seems like there are less people in the forums there than anywhere else.

At RDNA I counted 169 people in the forums and there were supposedly 736 online.

Rendo is reporting 7135 online and even if everyone has 10 browser windows open at the same time that is still 713.5 people

Daz currently has 46 people online.

If these statistics are to be believed it looks very sad for my once favourite place. :m_tear:

 

 

Ouch!
