Poserkatz:
Why do some of us have different nics?
Answer:  
When I joined Renderosity, I heard that it was not a very friendly place and I was new to Poser.
That was two years ago.  I signed up with "enigma-man" just in case my efforts were laughed
at.  That was not the case. I just kept that identity, but my name is on each image.
I use my real name here, PoserPros (Not a friendly place any more at all) and 3D Commune.
Some people don't want to join here so I post at other forums.
My other nic, enigma-man is used on a few other sites as well.

The big sites are more interested in sales by their vendors and they could care less about
the art that people produce.  I am sick of seeing the commercial models in stupid lingerie
every single day.

Not everyone who uses Poser is automatically an artist.  You have to have a natural talent that
Poser and other software can bring out.  I have seen countless images that were mediocre at best,
with dozens of comments and praises because all their  "friends" told them that it was good.  
I didn't see many real artists commenting on those images.
