I was thinking, the best thing that could happen for DAZ customers is to have a forum on a site not controlled by DAZ. So they can't delete your comments or just call you an idiot and lock the thread so you can't reply (as they did when I made a valid complaint about a flaw in a product).

Renderosity seems much better. The only major downside I see personally is, despite abandoning DAZ as a marketplace, I still use DAZ Studio (3.x, with no weightmapping whatever). And Renderosity seems fairly hostile toward DAZ Studio and its users. So I have to swim through the sea of "not tested or supported in DAZ Studio" tags that they copy and paste on everything and just guess at what looks like it might work.

And there are a few times I've mentioned that I'm a DAZ Studio user and asked vendors questions about the products to help my cause. Some of them are really nice, but some of them just bluntly reply "this product does not support DAZ Studio". I'll get this reply even if the question is about a missing file or an incorrect path to a file, something that would surely affect Poser as well as DAZ Studio.

The harsh reality is, DAZ Studio users need DAZ to step their game up so things will be better when they're skipping DAZ to buy from the competition.
