Not so much in the 3D world, I think Poser a DS users and the like, are more informed but in my dealings with people in photographic circles I was amazed just how many used JPG and kept making changes saving and reloading, making more changes and saving again not realising they were throwing away detail on every subsequent save.

It would be a shame to spend so much time setting up a scene for a beautiful render only to lose so much with JPG.  I understand why it is done but to that degree we rarely see renders at their best in these threads as JPG is a must for uploading.

Here's multiple large uncompressed pngs posted in a single thread... I used to routinely post such images on these forums. I've also posted rather heavy animations to the forums in the past. There's no reason for using low quality lossy jpgs here if you clearly want your stuff to be seen without compression and loss, use png.
