My original intention was to go over, stir up the hornet's nest a tad, and see who had a sense of humour. However, after wading through the umpteenth self-serving "endorsement" of DAZ products, after going through the galleries and reading arrogant jabs at people who don't use the latest bleeding-edge figures, items and software... all of which funnily enough are DAZ products, by the way... and after dropping right into a debacle on the Terms Of Service that they "accidently" put on their site, I have come to a solid, unshakeable conclusion: I want my mommy...! :crying: So, to all who view this place as home... APPRECIATE IT!!! This is a real community. (Though having said all that, I'm still going to thump the hornet's over there... only this time I'm gonna use a bigger stick. There has to be at least ONE person over there with a sense of humor... doesn't there?)

I mean, there is nothing wrong in making bucks with 3d toys, from a company or an individual, but if the market is dressed like "love for art" the place become what you said, you don't have time to seat and play with your (doll :redface: ... ) toy that a new one is out :eh: and your pictures are not cool because you don't have the new one... I float to big places when I have the time, there are some nice groups, not all is bad, but I'm sorry to see that some nice little places like PF are disappearing :dontknow: ----------------------------------- tda42 Monday, 11 February 2008, 12:38 AM Re: In Praise Of PosetteForever ----------------------------------- Place like PF are disappearing?

Be careful please. ----------------------------------- Nik Tuesday, 12 February 2008, 02:55 PM My Bad... ----------------------------------- Sorry, my thought was that our community needed to be aware that {witheld} was not as vigilant as could be, and also that the wrath of IP owner would prompt the items' removal before harm was done... D'uh, I used to run a computer club 'before PCs'. One evening, we were visited by a pair of 'Men In Black', who quietly observed our doings. As I closed up, they identified themselves as agents of 'Federation Against Software Theft'. They commented that ours was the first and only club they had ever visited that *[color=#ff000c]strictly[/color]* enforced a non-piracy policy. I glumly commented that our club was about to fold due declining numbers thanks to that policy... And, yes, my e-mail earned a chuckle from PhilC, plus a redirection to EvilInnocence, whom I have notified... ----------------------------------- Tormie Tuesday, 12 February 2008, 06:08 PM Re: In Praise Of PosetteForever ----------------------------------- :) I know that you were in good faith, but in the post there were enough element to search and find the pirated copy, nothing else was bad :) ... ----------------------------------- guiltypleasures Wednesday, 13 February 2008, 01:20 AM Re: In Praise Of PosetteForever ----------------------------------- PF is and always has been home for me, there's never been any doubt in that, I may not get here as often as I once did, but when I do come in I always feel at home here :) As for the fire escape, well I don't plan on escaping but I may hang out with Chicca once in awhile and get a breath of fresh air to over come Tormies farts :smnfrtd: [i][size=8][color=red]There's no place like home.... there's no place like home.... there's no place like home[/color][/size][/i] :heartbeat: :heartbeat: ----------------------------------- tda42 Wednesday, 13 February 2008, 03:04 AM Re: In Praise Of PosetteForever ----------------------------------- Ah yes.

So -you won't find me there. I don't appreciate being pushed to buy from their stores, or pushed to promote things against my beliefs. I was sent a personal message and told how they liked 'my "in your face" -style (whatever that is) and suggested that it should be used towards a "progressive" mixture of socalist aethist gay -anti-Bush 'sentiment. :sick: So I left, promptly created my own little web site and made images in opposition to everything -they hold dear. :crazyeyes: Yes, GrochoCeazar my friend when you go there, you noticed how there's a certain FAKE and disingenious -quality to their community, and in my humble opinion, '[b][i][color=midnightblue]your awareness serves you well - sir.[/color][/i][/b] Here at PF We should all be greatful for how the people are genuine, -have no axe to grind or 'agenda 'lurking under the surface. :jar: I thank you, Tormie :friends: for providing us with such a nice place. :clap: :clap: :clap: ----------------------------------- hanzoushinrei Wednesday, 13 February 2008, 07:18 PM Re: In Praise Of PosetteForever ----------------------------------- DAZ's community always makes me feel bad...y'know theyre just like those kids I knew back then who's always showing off their Tamagotchies...and they wont let me play with it.... Yep...pf is home to all of us.lets keep it that way. ----------------------------------- GrouchoCaesar Thursday, 14 February 2008, 02:29 AM Re: In Praise Of PosetteForever ----------------------------------- Well... an update. Finally got my V4.2 upgrade about 20 minutes ago. Not that I actually need it, I STILL haven't installed the original V4.0 I was given for Xmas '06. I did, however, take the time to download the latest DAZ Studio release. I haven't been a fan of DAZ Studio in the past, but I'll give it another go. However: I just love how a lot of the really useful "features" are only available as plug-ins that have to be purchased... makes me feel all warm 'n' fuzzy inside at the generosity of DAZ, really it does.
