If you want to be positive someone has to ask a few questions like

"What can we do to improve the community, market place or forums" "What can we so in the short term and what will need to be long term." "What improvements would we like but are not Rendo's power to change" (and then try to understand if such change is possible).

For example, I believe, Rendo could improve the forums quickly in the short term by just making the thread update notifications work on a consistent basis. In the longer term they could actually work to ensure that moderation is consistent across the forums and applied the rules fairly.

They could improve the marketplace in the short term by making it a less confusing place. What I don't believe Rendo has in their power is to widen the variety of products to any large degree because the whole market place has become fragmented. When there was general 'go to' figure vendors could spend time creating with the knowledge that there was a good chance of sales. Today there is not just the Poser and Daz users but all the different figures that users support, this has to mean that the size of any possible buying group will diminish with each new figure leading to fewer sales. The time spent making any product will be the same unless you reduce the quality, and the returns will be smaller unless you increase the price, neither of which is going to help much.

There must be many other ideas that could help if only people could put them forward without the fear they are either wasting their time or risking being shot down in flames.

 

 

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.
