" I would like feedback on how sales are doing since the change. It's been about two months. Has interest increased due to the new format? And if so has that interest translated into increased sales?"

Have you noticed how many vendors have migrated to Daz and other sites?

That's a clear indication of how successful the last two Site "Down-Grades" have been so far.

I'm sure that Daz's move to more proprietary software that less interacts with Poser has put Renderosity in the middle.

I know that there has always been crossover between artists and sites. I don't see any artists abandoning renderosity, though I do think I see those that are developing for Gen characters premier at Daz first when they used to do that at Rendo. If I go to the number of artists currently on line right at this moment I see the number 2727, which is not high, but not low either. I personally don't like this site's re-do and still feel that it is very dis-org-gan-.....i-Z-ed and... d-is-JoInT-ed (Insert advertisement here along with social media logo). But by the artists online numbers I have no way of gaging that what I am seeing is being seen by others. I'm just curious if I'm missing something in the way it is being used. Sales would tell that I think. Maybe the site is ahead of the curve now and I'm doing things the 'old' way? Generally Prices seem to be up and maybe (hopefully) artists and the site are making more money?

The "Current Artist Online" is entirely fictional as far as I can tell (Or at least collated rather misleadingly), I asked questions ages ago about the accuracy of it and how the data was obtained and accumulated to come up with the number stated. Pointing out a major inconsistency of what was being displayed. You know what answers I got?

Data is only relevant when its from a trustworthy source and building hypothesis based on erroneous data will only lead to a false conclusion.

Let me dig up the thread for you. Here it is : https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2889758

As far as artist migration goes. My entire gallery was intentionally and laboriously deleted here due to the site changes with well over 100 images going back over a decade.
