Hornet, thanks.

My general "issue" with the forum is its Poser overload indeed. Let's put it in perspective: when you've got a budget, start detailing, and 90% of it ends up a one post of it, then there is not much point in the detailing is it? You'd better detail that single 90% line. Same with Poser in the Rendo forum. It takes say 90% of it, and just for that reason alone I'm in great favor of splitting it up. Let them make it room oriented or whatever.

Now the Poser forum is popular because everyone is posting everything in there because it's popular because ... (etcetera), and so we've ended up with a garbage bin where effectively all the other threads in all other Rendo forums can be dumped as well.

So, yes I fully understand why things are happening but that doen's mean I'm happy with it. 

At the content side of the forum I'm in dubio. Of course it's actually a compliment that people feel the Rendo forum as a place to dump their frustrations on anything. It's good to have a wailing wall at hand. On the other hand, it's not that funny to have to wade through all this wailing for the forum users who do not need all this, and actually prefer to do without for their own personal reasons. So perhaps some splitting up can help here as well.

Next to all that, I'm seriously raising a red flag. It's not (only) the fulminating, negative and frustrated people that go away or threaten to do so. It's also the same people that do not go away but go on and on and on (and moderators not intervening), that drive the positive and contructive users out. I hope Rendo is aware.

In my early consulting days, I learned that more and more of the same medicine wont work. If your appraoch doesn't work, then do something else.
So I read Vilters post, saying "they are not responding" (to the fulminations, and the loud accusations, etc, in the Poser forum). Well then, stop it, and do it in a different way. Would be my suggestion.

All the best.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
