I don't see why you would consider this a none productive thread, obviously not every single comment might be. But the OP question is where have all the Poser content gone? And honestly a lot of the answer, at least in my opinion is related to the Genesis characters, Daz as such is of no importance in this discussion, it simply happens to be the software that the character where designed to be used with.

If you disregard Daz as the "competing" software to Poser, it doesn't really change anything as I see it. Because if Genesis had been developed for Poser a similar thread like this would most likely be found on the Daz forum. The Genesis characters are popular, because they are good models and a lot of people both vendors and users like to work with them. At least in my opinion its less related to software vs software, but more character vs character, which I think is reasonable to blame a lot of on SM, for not taking or understanding the importance of, when they release new Poser version. Im almost 100% sure, that had Poser 11 been released with Genesis quality characters, this thread would never have existed in the first place.
