Scott; I honestly feel that your approach as a moderator is dead-spot-on (err, that is; really excellent) I spend more time here than any other forum or website I've checked out. I feel it fosters more of an honest feel of community than any other site I've visited (regardless of the actual focus of the site). That said, I'd like to second or support the suggestion that a FAQ, or pre-filtered database of links to effective discussions on common problems be set up & maintained for the benefit of newcomers, or old-tymers getting into unfamiliar areas of poser. It would take a bit of setup, but it would give a place to "point" to when the old "...Vicky eyebrows" or "...clothes don't move with figure??" postings pop up. I'm constantly surprised how often certain questions are re-asked. Some as often as several times a week! Newcomers especially seem prone to just posting questions without attempting any kind of search, or even browsing back a couple of pages in the forum. I have to feel this is from either an unfamiliarity with search operations, slower connections that make browsing dozens of threads prohibitively time-consuming, or frustration with the odd tendancy of many posters to phrase their topics so vaguely as to be useless for later searchers. Anyway, just my $.02 etc, etc, ... Render On!
