Hi Ivy,

This last post Ivy with a lot of sweetness mixed in, does seems to be have quite a bit of flame baiting buried in also. I'm not sure if you're aware of the history in these forums, but threads like this can often turn very ugly, quickly if things get out of control. If I did post a similar post to your last two in the Poser forum it would turn very ugly fast and I would possibly be reprimanded for stirring up trouble or flame baiting.

I mean you mentioned 'Poser' nine times in that last post. Which hey Poser is great, but this is the DS forums so let's try to keep it a little on topic and talk about DS not the reasons why you're buying the new version of Poser. I'm sure the Poser forum would love to hear it so maybe there would be a better place to share your obvious Poser enthusiasm. :)

One instance in your post mentions that you believe Poser has "more features", while I could easily name a good ten or so features to be found in DS that Poser doesn't have. Each does have their own feature set and I honestly don't feel either platform has "more" just different. But a simple statement like that does come across a bit like looking for an argument.

While your opinions may be against DRM and it's protection of PA content and that's fine. But you can't expect to continually drop in here and restate your points and not expect to eventually be challenged over them to a degree. As not everyone does agree with the opinions you're stating. If you want to see where this kind of discourse on DRM in Daz Studio has been so far, maybe have a read through this 12 page thread, as it has been discussed quite exhaustively in both Pro and Con aspects :https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2895510 before turning this thread into another downward spiral.

I'm all for you having an opportunity to vent and express your frustrations with Daz 3D and their recent changes, which I feel you did quite well in your first post. But I'm not going to just continue to sit back and let you bash DS and Daz 3D repetitively without offering counterpoints to your assertions. This is a DS forum not a Daz 3D vent forum so can we please try to stay on topic and not just use this as a platform for expressing personal frustration.
