Hi, maybe the activity in this forum is not that high but everything comes in cycles it may get more active later. On the other hand the forum that Wayne K and I manage is growing everyday. We get new members daily and we have lots of activity. I am the owner and founder of the Carrara forum/list at yahoo groups. It was the very first emailing list for Carrara and we had 300 members even before Carrara 1.0 came out. You may call it the "Unofficial/Official" Carrara forum. Also to you Infocentral, Yes you can call me THE Eovia frontman. I have no problems with that title. So what is your complain of the day for today? Later Ringo Monfort Carrara list owner @ yahoo. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Carrara/
