Ah, I see.  At least at DAZ, Rendo forums have a huge reputation of devolving into unfriendly software wars.  Because of that, people warn one another to stay away from here (the forums, not the marketplace, gallery, or freebies)  Yeah, it's more on the Daz-bashing end, but the Daz users aren't 100% innocent either, nor are the Poser 2014 Pro and Poser 10 users (the other two I am referring specifically to the Poser version wars.  Well, not so much "Wars" as insensitivity and condescension towards users of earlier versions.)   As for the culpability of Daz users, it pertains mostly in regards to greatly exaggerating Poser's decline-- if it were as real as some claim, then you would see fewer V4 clothing/accessories/etc. items on Renderosity with Poser mats.  In reality, any decline in Poser is due solely to Rendo's shift heavily towards Genesis 2 and the failure of Dawn/Dusk product sales outside of Hivewire3D. Though Genesis 2 is finding some Poser-exclusive support on Rendo.

Now of course the forum search is broken, which is only going to make things worse.  Esp. since we got the news from Tina that the programmers refuse to fix the search because "threads should not consist of a three-letter title", which hearkens back to the site overhaul when they initially refused to change the color of the "On Sale" and background text.
