"IMHO" has to be regarded as a legitimate use in disgussion though, otherwise there would be no other way to say it if that's what a person really meant. I haven't used that term myself in this thread, but very often it's necessary to use it just to keep within the ToS and to keep people happy. People are effectively advised to use "IMHO" so that they don't come across as being indisputable, yet you are upset that some use it and I can't even see the term used anywhere in this thread, so I don't know what posts you're talking about.
Even so, you can't have it both ways, Moriador, there'll always be that inpenetrable line where people need no accept that different people have different opinions, and that they don't have to agree with them, so really, things aren't as bad as they seem.
Here is a genuine use for "IMHO", because IMHO, the reason there is so much fighting on these forums is down to two companies (DAZ and SM), it's not down to the users, the users didn't buy into these products just so that they could let rip on a forum, they bought them because they have an interest in 3D graphics and art. So IMHO, if either of these companies honestly gave a crap about the customers, they would realise that they need to sign a deal and decide on an open platform agreed upon by both of them, and for both of them to ensure that their own product works flawlessly with that format.
Both of them need to realise that they need to put the effort into making the actual program better than each others and to hell with the figures. If these companies spent as much time on adding useful features and fixing bugs as they do playing their freaking childish format wars, both us, and them, and the freaking forum would be much better off. We never had to deal with all this crap when there was no figure formats to decide between, that's why the forums were a better place back then.
If you want to complain about the starte of the forums, blame the causes, which "IMHO" are DAZ and SM, not the users of the forum.
