The worst thread-locking exchanges seem to be the same handful of people having private conversations with each other, endlessly quoting each other, endlessly trying to show why the other guy's statement is wrong. This is like the 4th or 5th thread to go down that road. Like they say in the bars, take it outside before they kick us all out and lock the door.

 As for the topic of this thread, I'm not worried about any pending execution for Vicky, or think it has been temporarily stayed. Even if her creators decide to drop her completely and stop allowing their vendors to sell stuff for her (very unlikely), that is only one marketplace. V4 users would simply shift ground, which would hurt that marketplace and help others.

V4 is still going strong here at Rendo and RDNA and other places. Alternatives like Antonia and Anastasia are very welcome on the scene by many of us. We need to look at different options, different approaches or we stagnate. But V4 is too well-entrenched, we have too much invested in her, for her to just go way.
