We seem to have lost a number of participants on the forums, which doesn't necessarily indicate that the user base as a whole is shrinking. Participation on all the forums I've frequented over the past few years has been down. Hard to know what that means, really. Maybe they're all Twitter-tweeters now, using mobiles instead of computers. Maybe they've all taken up knitting. :unsure: Maybe it's zombies, like when all the internet participants gradually disappear in World War Z, the novel. :scared:
One might take the view that Poser is being expanded to be marketed to gamers because the traditional user base has been contracting, I suppose. (I don't think that, but it is a worry that has struck me, once or twice... without any actual evidence. Cage is a worrywart! :lol:) We might guess a lot of things, but they would just be guesses. A thread at RDNA which asks how many Poser users there are came to the conclusion that no one knows, perhaps not even Smith Micro and the Poser Team.
It would be interesting to know of any actual data anyone has on a topic like this. I don't think anyone would come forward with anything, for good or ill. :unsure:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
