actually, chat has ALWAYS  been about socializing with like minded people. the old chat even invited people to pop in and have a chinwag with friends.

as many noobies could tell you, we will help anyone who pops in with an issue they may be having with Poser, or any 3D or 2D app.

we help each other, and anyone who comes in and is FRIENDLY is welcomed. we share works, and works in progress. but having a self-confessed 'image collector'  ( being polite) in the room discourages people from sharing their work.

unfortunately, the atmosphere that has been generated in chat means that myself and a few others will not be using it while an unwelcome guest is squatting.
