"Your site does not have a place to setup a user account. Renderosity has no mention of this migration from smith-micro to Bondware. I am confused, either this is a big deal, legitimate and backed for long term confidence in product move, or the final gasps on the death bed.

You set up your user account when you made this post. Both Renderosity and Smith Micro have made announcements about Renderosity taking over ownership of Poser. The old Smith Micro Poser forum still has an announcement on their web page that says "Poser Now At Renderosity". This was four months ago. You can read about it here. As far as I know, all the links there are still active, including one which take you to the Poser Support page, where you can even submit a trouble ticket.
