Quote - It's really simple.....look at the visible numbers.  Right under the Renderosity logo

4789 artists currently online

The vast majority are "Visitor", as it has always been. Anyone who can click a link and scroll down to "Visitor" (and see the 2300+ sessions out of the 3372 total at time of writing) can see for themselves. 

Clue: Most are here to see the galleries. The vast majority are not here to get Poser advice, buy products, or get all the dirt on the latest/greatest version.

Renderosity counts all site visitors to all areas. By contrast, the only place anyone is counted number-wise is the DAZ Forums... not the galleries, the store, or what-have-you.

Long story short? If you're relying on that little counter to gauge the health of the product/community at large, you're in for a big disappointment.

 

(and one of these days I'll learn to spell "disappointment" correctly the first time...)
