I'm crap at sitting on my hands when something I see in a forum agitates me. I've improved with age, but then, there was room for improvement, too.
And I think a lot of the people who has used and LOVED Poser for the past 10+ years tend to develope a sort of .. feeling... attachment if you like, to the program. And dislikes it getting dissed by various upstarts.
Because we KNOW that this is the POSER forum. I tmay have branched out to even include the Upstart program ;) as well as various modeling applications. But it started off as the POSER forum, and I must admit it sorta annoys me when I see one question after another IN THE POSER FORUM about how to make this-and-that work in other programs. Especicially when those Other Programs have their very own subforums here.
I wouldn't expect an answer to a Hexagon- or Photoshop related question in the Poser forum, not even if the end result is MEANT for Poser. I'd use the proper forums. I kinda thought that's what they were here for in the first place...
Then again.. I've been away from Rosity for over a year, and I do notice that this place is just the husk of what it used to be. Back then you could spend the day here, because there was always new posts with questions you might be able to answer, or answers to something you'd been wondering. Now.. I can check in once a day and find 2 new posts...
A forum that isn't lively isn't appealing. In the end everybody will check in once a week.. meaning that it'll take a week or more to get an answer to a simple question.. and no one is going to wait for that, and ultimately, the forum dies (this is put VERY rough, I know, and lucikly we're not there yet.. and I hope we'll never get there!)
This is THE only poser forum I've ever felt at home in (well except for RM, but they're dead and gone) and it's THE place I'd go for a technical question. But only as long as an answer can beexpected in a timely manner (and don't get me wrong, I'm NOT expecting anyone to just SIT here and wait for me to snap my fingers so they can answer MY question - but I DO expect "people" to be round here for input at least. Again. for the time being, they still ARE. but the forum, IMO, IS slowly dying... and that saddens me, because then where will I go? Npt to The Upstart's forum and.. when all good is said about RDNA - and it IS a great place.. i've just never felt that as "home"
This is home. And I want my OLD home back! As much as I want my youth and innocence back! reaching for the sky here ;)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
