Quote - Most of the discussion in this thread has been off-topic.  We've discussed vendor problems, sites closing, competition from Daz/iClone, figure popularity...

Yes, and those points all fall mostly under the thread topic. I'm primarily referring to those posts that have nothing to do with those points and are instead focusing on random crap like amsterdam and how attractive or unattractive a particular model is. 

I don't have the ability to split threads (like most forums have), so my only other options are to delete posts or lock threads. But since people get into a tissy over that, I ask first that it stays mostly on topic. It's okay to throw in a divergent comment here and there, but when an entire page has nothing to do with the main points others are trying to discuss then its best to take those comments to a different thread that is more in line with whatever tangent it's run off on.
