Razor42,
Civility is a two-way street. So is integrity, for that matter. What is needed is more and better technical information. Documentation, you might say. Instead we have people here telling us how to behave. Rather paternal, and a sad sign of our times. Not very professional either. Try to remember that, if the DAZ forum operated in a professional manner instead of routine blocking of the members, this forum we're in now would probably not need to exist.
An artist with your credentials (i.e. your products) should be capable of providing needed technical help to those who need it. Nobody needs more admonitions.
Richard is the only DAZ mod with any technical skills, and he made a good impression on me because of it. He knows the software well. He's hardly in a position to come here and criticize DAZ, even if he thought they deserved it. It's not clear why he comes here at all. I can see he's not here to provide technical help.
As for DAZ going down rentware road... rentware works for Adobe because they pretty much dominate the professional market. They can well afford to throw 1/3 of their users away as they have done. That won't work for everyone, no matter how tempting it may be. As Richard pointed out, the future cannot be known. That includes his own.
Amen.
