Community? What community? All the great people you have driven away with your so called 'revolution? Where is your community that asks for threads like that? Look at this thread for example. It is three days old now and has 8 postings, two from me, four (!) are from stuff or moderators and two more from members? If your 'community' is eager for this Facecrap-style threads where are all the postings? See what I mean?

If you really want to have a happy community (back) than use your power instead for opening threads where no one seems to be interested in into bringing back the functionality that your site had before your 'revolution' started.

Or, if that is asked too much, start trying with smaller things like providing the so called 'Freebies' for Prime members (which have been sold as a 'feature' of the new Prime membership') in the same month they are ment for. It is January 25th today and I still don't see any. Don't you have one yet? Not found a vendor 'eager' to gift it to you? Or do you have it already, but then, why not give it to your customers who have paid for It as soon as you have it? Why waiting?

And, @ wheatpenny, you comment 'If you don't like the topic of the thread then why did you reply to it?' is not helpful at all. It simple means 'If you don't like it, shut your mouth and let it go on as it is. Look around in your forums, isn't it already silent enough for you? Where are all the posters gone that have used this forum only months ago, When we have had more new threads in a day then now in a week? And I cannot remember that there has been any thread in between like this one. Ok, to a certain point I can see the idea behind this one, but I can give you list of similar threads (Halloween? Thanksgiving? Christmas? Remember?) that may be absolutely runners in Facecrap and other similar site which people seem to need for a social life, but I don't see any sense for it in a forum belonging to a shop (of course that is only my own opinion, you and others may see or see it different), But to say 'shut up if you don't like it' is just... ah, go figure, my Prime membership ends in May, you'll have me silent then...

No it is not only you, I too think a lot of the best people have been driven away. If you want a community to share the love of 3D art then I would suggest a thriving gallery would be a good part of that, shame then that some here are deleting their entire galleries.

At the moment I mainly post in the Prime forum (well I have to make some use of the $29.99 I threw away) and most the time to show there are better deals elsewhere and you don't have to pay an up front membership fee to qualify. The Poser forum is a shadow of what was but then a lot of the Poser user no longer buy from the store and thus don't visit anywhere near as often than they used to, if at all.

If Rendo wants a community they would spent their time better by improving the way the forums are moderated. If you want to see how that is done have a look at RDNA, if you want to see a community try looking at Hivewire3D.

No Rendo is not the community it once was and even as a shop it is a poor clone of Daz3D

 

 

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.
