Hiram - Yes, a mod has been asked, the mod that started the term in fact, but he's being evasive and not answering. :)

Silvermage: Unless of course he's just not big enough to admit that. *** I'm a big fan of the software*** Influenced his decision because he was sick of seeing Curious Labs and Poser bashing threads. He did say somewhere in the poser forum that he was fed up with it all. Maybe that's it. But unlike some he'd rather obfuscate with meaningless statements than admit to having done it in a fit of pique - something many of us here could easily understand and perhaps sympathise with. This is of course purely conjecture seeing as the chances of actually getting a straight or honest answer out of Jeff are absolutely ZERO. Oh well, just more typical toe the party line crap at the big R. Ho hum.

Well you might have a good point Brycetech. After all, shortly following the Pink Pony's reappearance in the Renderosity gallery we find that Daz products are removed sans-request from the store. You may well have hit on the truth of the matter.

I wonder. As Mike and Vickie are competing models for Curious Labs' new family of dorkier and dorkette, does this move by Renderosity enforce the EULA statement against competing with Poser 5. Is this mile marker for brokering with a Curious Labs controlled Renderosity store? Have we just seen the first indication that Renderosity is not and has no intention of maintaining it's own seperate and free market and identity? Is this the first example of Poser 5 non-competition enforcement? Who's going to be the next vendor to have their products pulled from the store?

Thusly doth the plot thicken...

LOL @ dialyn I don't even have a baseball team here on my rock, and I'm just as confused as you about the application, but I made it right across the forum and back again without meeting one mod with a ball in their hand, so I'm beginning to wonder if I'm wrong. :)

I found it.... singsong I know what it is... /singsong Tagging: Baseball; the act of tagging a runner (off foll by out) in Baseball by putting (a runner) out by touching with the ball or hand holding the ball [18th c.: orig unknown] So, it means I think, that anyone caught running through the forums trying to touch base three times or trying to reach the other side of the forum has to avoid the moderators touching them with a ball held in one hand or they're "outta here"... :D Took me ages to find out what the "official" definition was. Cool, I also found out it was gang markings on turf or indentifier graffitti. I wonder what it has to do with forum threads though? Maybe it's just moderator terminology for "having a bad hair day" looks around and wonders how fast he'll have to run to get over the other side before getting caught

Nice work Rena... and No, you can never have enough cowboys, not ever. A few more and we can have a good old fashioned town wide gunfight.

Okay, I won't address it then* Par for the course and about what I expected from you.

Having to actually "moderate" is extra baggage I can do without most of the time. This is going to sound like a stupid question but it has to be asked. Why are you a moderator then? You can "help" people quite easily without the "extra baggage" as you put it. Surely if it's such a strain for you it would be better if you just helped and gave up being a moderator. Just a suggestion. ***It seems the freedom to post any sort of subject there is more important than doing the correct thing *** You're getting quite liberal with your statements here - like calling everyone in the Daz thread a moron, but I'm sure you have a reason for it. Perhaps to some yes it is more important to post what they want in the Poser forum to talk with their online buddies - same as it was when C&D existed and most people avoided that like the plague. But not to everybody. I don't see how a discussion about a company that produced the Poser 4 people and a hell of a lot of content for poser and their imminent future is OFF TOPIC for POSER - they are STILL a major contributor of Poser content. The only thing that has changed is that they are allegedly to become direct competitors with the partnerer company of this site. Yet, stamps, dots, cats, dogs, people's bowel movements are not off topic? Even though they're clearly titled and obviously off-topic. So you're busy. So you're really really bored with things you don't like. So it's all just too much extra baggage. OK, do the decent thing, do yourself a favour and do what you do best. Help people. Leave the moderating to people who don't see being moderator as "extra baggage they can do without" Might want to alter the TOS as well. To clearly state that ALL software forums are for LEARNING ONLY discussions and everything else is to go into OT. Might help clear up things a bit don't you think?

has secretly subverted every online forum sarcasm or not they haven't secretly subverted every online forum, they just partnered with this one. That alone should have immediately made the conspiracy theorists leap into action. I guess they're all too busy with other things at the moment.

Jeff, I can understand that YOU don't have enough time to move all the "crap" you'd like to. Strange though it may seem I'm not picking on you. I was very much under the impression that was why there was more than one mod in the forum. Perhaps there should be a standard written out for all moderators to follow so that one person doesn't have to take the heat and you won't be left on your own to decide what's relevant and what isn't. You have my sympathy Jeff, it's not an easy job you do, but there's a double standard here and while it may not be of your making, the excuses from certain individuals are getting thin. Sorry old chap, like I said, not picking on you as an individual but on the event as a whole. :) I have a lot of free time yes. I can't work, that's why. But, sorry, I'm not going to do your or the other Poser Forum moderator's jobs for you, you guys get paid to be there, I'm doing this out of my own expenses. Thanks for the offer though, but it's not my responsibility. Is it?

I'm going to glue feathers onto myself, sit on a perch and pretend I'm a parrot. I agree with Ironbear... again. (as well as several other people) There's a plethora (cool word huh?) of posts in the Poser forum that have got squat to do with "Poser learning" absolutely bugger all to do with learning of any kind least of all Poser. They aren't moved. Hey, there's even some in there that have nothing to do with Poser even. Yet they stayed. So, Spike, a word of advice you won't heed and will probably ignore anyway. Cut the bullshit will you? Or find a different tune to play because you're looking pretty dippy up there with those comments. Alternatively you COULD go through poser forum and remove ALL the NON LEARNING threads. Should make the place much easier to navigate. After all, with most of the non-learning threads gone, the place will be virtually empty. Non learning my ass. Selective deletion and transfer is what it is. "Oh, don't like that, dump it in OT". Just like it used to be a while back when it was "Don't like that, dump it in C&D" Sheesh.

EricofSD: Actually it puzzles me more, because so am I. :) scratches head IE 6.0.2800.1106 IE SP1 on Win2k-SP3 Me too. Thankyou very much everyone else, glad you like the place, I hope there's something useful for you up there. Allen9: "It might be more than INhuman minds can withstand too" ROTFL... Good point, I didn't think of that. :)

Spratman. It's okay to download what you want, but I'd appreciate it if it was done gradually over a couple days rather than in one strike. :) Schlabber was going to create some poses for the fruit guns but everyone got kind of distracted following the lunacy that caused those. I have some more of those weapons to upload and I'll make some poses for them as well. Any preference for figure? The prune gun is held by the joystick style grip at the back and a handle just above the barrels. :) I've been asked for some poses for a few of the other weapons too, and that will be attended to over the next couple of weeks. For the western guns, take a look at Don Albert's Gunslingers over at Daz, some good poses in that collection (and check out the Daz Free Archive too, you'll find some for Steph if you have her)
