It seems that the Poserverse is indeed a small pool. Just seeing the same names at the various sites is an indication. Was poking around over at Animotions and Renderotica and it felt pretty vacant (especially Animotions, the forum was kinda depressing). As far as communication goes I only really engage in interactions here at Renderosity, for whatever that's worth... at the other sites I go by a different user name in any case.

Along this line of thought I'm always intrigued when people publicly quit posting on a forum for various reasons, by this I mean those that announce that they will no longer be attending the festivities for various reasons. Kind of like a strange suicide note, don'tcha think? Also, there seems to be less power user commentary here than there used to be... or maybe this is my imagination?

As far as erotic art goes, I've pretty much drifted away from interest in that but when I was younger used to draw erotic/pornographic comixs so maybe that subject matter interest has just run its course. Ironic that now that I'm playing around with Poser, a software that lends itself so well to such subject matter, I no longer have the compulsion to create such imagery. I think too that the digital information age and the ready availability of this subject matter in it's myriad forms has normalized it to the extent that it no longer has the potency or mystique that it once did, there's no longer the need to create these fantasies as something just as good or better can be found in the realm of the "real" (or a closer to it layer of simulation)...

or maybe I'm just becoming a boring old dude now.
