It seems like the forum-driven Poser communities may be dying, but WandW is correct that forums across the board seem to have less traffic than in the past. Poser development seems healthy and the Poser Team seems optimistic about the future. It's a hard question to answer. No one knows the size of the Poser user base, now or in the past, except maybe Smith Micro types who aren't telling.

In a long term sense, I expect the future of computers to be cloud-based, subscription-driven, and oriented toward tablets and smartphones. A program like Poser might have a hard time adapting to that situation, and certainly a harder time pulling in new customers and users on our hobbyist level. Younger people seem to use computers less for creativity and more for consumption and socialization. Maybe my sample base is too limited, but the impression I have is that there are and will be fewer people drawn to using computers the way we have for a couple of decades. I assume they won't be interested in a Poser, and may never even learn about it. My assumption, based on all of this, is that Poser faces an ever-dwindling user base. I hope I'm wrong about every bit of this, though.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
