note 1: having recently submitted an item to Poser pros, im now allowed to view their merchant forums and to be honest they totally encourage people to swamp that place with their products. banners, ads, product showcase images, forum plugs, etc.
it all seems kind of hinky to me. hinky meaning not quite right, kinda slimy, very pushy. i don't wanna be a used car salesman dammit, and thats what it feels like. i can understand its purpose (i guess) but its not comfortable for me. i dont wanna badger people with self serving plugs and no content/story images. its a nice community and all (better then a couple others i can name) but i remember it a couple years ago when it wasn't all about sales and beating out daz or r'osity.
you certainly can't beat the warm and friendly people here that actually care about their art and don't just crank out the same image with the same products day after day. you guys care about people too, learning and sharing with each other. its just too cool, im all teary.
note 2: VESPAS RULE! they are soooo cute and i want one sooooo bad but living in ohio isn't the best places for something like this. it's raining and snowing 8 months out of the year, heh. though they are not as expensive as i feared it wouldn't be worth it to only be able to use it 3-4 months out of the year. i actually saw a young kid on one yesterday, the people in traffic behind him did not look happy though, . the particilar street he was on is 35 mile per hour but the cars never go that speed, its more like 50 mph, heh.
