Does that mean you like my current deodorant?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not beating myself up over it, doesn't bother me but at the same time it's kinda sad that people do that.  At the end of the day I have my opinions and won't change them, wouldn't matter if my Friend List declined to zero, still won't change my opinions.

I don't think anyone is looking for people to change their opinions, yours or anyone else's. If they are they are they could well be part of the problem.  I don't even think people are against strong opinions it is the the way other peoples opinion are treated that seems to be part of the issue.  Then there is the situation where opinion is dressed up as fact.  Terms like ' I know for a fact that E had discussions with A'  which is about a valid and provable as me saying "I know for a fact that Eve told Adam all about the consequences of eating the apple but he still did it' so it is all Adam's fault. I know opinions are not against the TOS but I don't accept that nothing can be done.  One recent intervention here was to state that the argument being presented was now 5 years old and could the thread stay on topic.  I thought it was a good intervention, just a few pages too late and after some people got upset and left.   Whatever the rights and wrongs of it the thread drift caused the loss of another member and no one appears to care, it was just another gone.  

One point I did make to the 'powers that be' is that my spend here at Rendo was regularly $200 - $300  a month, so far this month (and we are half way through) is around $54 and the only reason it is that high is I am mopping up the last of my wish list.  Those that have closed their account won't be spending any money and lots of those that do not visit here as often will probably spend less.  

OK I accept that the impact on Rendo is small and maybe not seen as a concern and in that respect I agree with obm890, no one does seem to care and I think the days of the Poser forum here are numbered.  Some of users will/have moved on to a forum where they clearly do care but I still think the present situation is a shame and a loss to 3D artists in general, irrespective of if you use Daz or Poser or what figure you use.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
