This is exactly why I deleted my content and stopped posting. Not because of people mocking me and not appreciating what I post but because of the inner circle forming way before the post you refer to.
If there was one I wasn't aware of it. You were part of the discussion in the post I referred to, and your remarks, along with your friends', didn't exactly motivate us to hang around. So, we took our toys and went underground. It was felt in the old request system for quite some time.
Sorry, not sorry.
Finally, other people stepped up to the plate, although there's a lot not getting filled.
The new revisions should prove interesting.
Expiration of points? While I'm not here for the points, I do like having them on hand for when I want something. I don't think it'll incentivize anyone, and more likely to piss people off.
The items in the works I do understand.
Your generosity has always meant a lot to me. I'm so busy (getting a degree full-time, work full-time) that I rarely take the time to thank. I'm thanking you now. Especially for the ST stuff - that was grand indeed!
About the beginning of June 2023, a similar discussion took place, resulting in the biggest fillers (I was one of them) retreating off to exchange privately after being mocked and ridiculed. I've filled some requests off and on since, but when a couple of items got taken down a month ago for copyright I quit. @Maddy is absolutely correct about the person she speaks of.
Anyway, it was initially 6 people, we're up to 12. Nobody expects anything from anyone. No points are exchanged. We've supported each other through catastrophes, deaths in the family (twice that's happened), illness, and one who goes off to war zones to administer medical aid.
It was never about points for me. Yes, I have over 3 million, but I've filled posts with only 500 and not cared. I share because I enjoy it. Ditto my friends. I even shared while I was rehabbing in a nursing home for knee surgery. I'm sure their network administrator would have had a fit. That's what VPN is for. 🙂
My sharing days go back to DC++, if not further. I've done it so long that I have a copy of the Zygote Bunny (Daz3D started at Zygote), and the executable still works. My purchases wax and wane.
Anyway, my filling days are pretty much over. I don't need my share accounts suspended or taken away from me. And I do despise Bunkrr, but mostly because the links don't work for very long. I'm surprised yours did, because I've never had good luck with it. I have a few lingering requests out there, but I have so much stuff it's insane, and rarely prowl the requests.
Whatever you decide to do, just know that your efforts did not go unnoticed.
I was my usual non-pirating self, then I was my mom, now I'm my dad. Once that gets banned, I'll be my sons, daughters-in-law, sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, grandparents, etc. For now I'm downloading the free stuff I'd snagged but didn't get downloaded. My VPN allows me to change IP addresses on the fly.
As someone said earlier, this is a civil matter and I think it's scare tactics. I find it interesting that @Dita got that letter. good luck with mine - I have so many emails and aliases across the web that I challenge them to find the one I use here. I think that where Dita is concerned they're bluffing.
I've been banned twice and didn't even share the item I bought on the second ID. different email, different IP address, different way of purchasing things, etc.
It wasn't even 3EUK's items.
So I have a third ID and at this point am waiting to buy until something comes along that I must have.
Fortunately, there are a ton of email services out there.
Here is how I solved it.
I did a "select all" in my messages, then bulk applied mark as read. It went away.
Then this morning I had a ton of old messages that had me doing the same thing again. Hopefully it's resolved.
I went from a GTX1060 6gb to the RTX 3060 12 gb and am quite pleased with its performance. One of those threads will educate you on having enough RAM to go with the RAM on the card.
@redflag
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... my aching wallet! it'll have to wait.. sob...
This thread has taken an interesting turn. I was the one that @ethiopia felt the need to get back at. He bought at RO - I bought at the PA's small store where the PA would make more money and planned to delay the release. Never mind, it's done now. @ethiopia and I were friends on Discord - I don't think he realizes I'm Keridwen, the person who showed him that V4's clothing autofollows on G9. As for private sharing, he privately shared a file with me on Discord. *ahem*
Despite that, I'll continue to fill requests. I tend to ignore rank 1s if they have very low points. If one messages me asking me for a fill I tell them they have to wait until I post it on the blog.
Thing is, I've been pirating for over 25 years with various items. The whole Daz/RO thing started about 2002, first through WinMX, then DC++ hubs, then through a private bittorrent site that faded away when the main contributors stopped posting - a few people and me. It was too draining to keep up. When they went down I came here. I filled dead posts, built up rank, then started in requests. That was last December.
It's not about the points. I have plenty of points. It's wanting to share and trust others. It's camaraderie as much as anything.
As for trauma, I have bipolar disorder, I'm on the autism spectrum, have generalized anxiety disorder, and have ongoing therapy to go with the meds. I do my best to maintain a positive outlook despite the shitty childhood I had. I have a great relationship with my sons - both in their thirties. One has autism, anxiety, CPTSD, and depression - he's medicated and a very successful scientist for the federal government. The other is a senior data analyst for a non-profit and has bipolar disorder, may also be on the spectrum, ADHD and anxiety. We do things together, go to concerts, plays, etc.
For all that I've been through (and believe me, I've been through a LOT), I refuse to be cynical. I have bad days, of course, and who doesn't? I spend those days in meditation. My current goal is working on forgiveness through meditation. I also practice gratitude. Sometimes I slip - who doesn't? But each day I realize that the mobile home I own (outright, it's paid for) may be old and in need of a coat of paint, but it's a great roof over my head and I am grateful. I am grateful for my sons and their wives. I am grateful that my 88 year old mother is still alive. There are many things I am grateful for.
Life is to be lived to the fullest. Sometimes, you gotta place your faith in others and whatever higher power you worship (if any - I'm also a witch and my patron Goddess is Cerridwen, a Welsh Mother and Crone goddess) to get you through life. Above all else, you need faith in yourself.
So, I'll continue to fill requests. My biggest problem is remembering to post them on the blog. I finally got everything through April posted last weekend. This weekend I'm doing May. I also have some purchases not requested or on the blog that I'll get around to sharing on the blog. Some things I won't share because the PAs gave them to me as a gift.
Anyway, that's my two cents.
Blessd Be!
I'm a Moody Blues fan, among other things. Their first seven albums, plus Long Distance Voyager, were incredible. Then, the lead singer stopped dropping acid and they all decided to go commercialized in the 80s. Everything from the album "The Other Side of Life" on was just not the same. The two remaining band members still tour solo. Justin Hayward admits he still does weed and puts out decent material; has a great show so if he lands in your area - go! John Lodge was the one who claims he never did drugs, but there are some early photos of him where he looks totally stoned.
I'm seeing John in July at the local Civic Center theater. He's very funny and still talented af.
I don't mine, even though I'm rank 5. I rarely download from the blog unless I'm looking for something old. And, I am getting tired of the leaks and this would be a way to forestall them. I want the PAs to have a chance to make SOMETHING before it's posted, hence the reason I wait quite awhile before I post an item.
I think this video pretty much says it all:
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood
Thanks! I still haven't decided if I'm going to purchase the upgrade or not, but having Poser 13 on the blog along with this content will help me make up my mind. I want to try before I buy, and if I don't buy it, it will be the first time in almost 20 years that I've chosen not to. I haven't used Poser in over a year, so we shall see.
You're right, it's not there.
@anjabear @warrant63 @eelgoo @monkseye the thread listed in the post needs re-opened.I checked out the first one. It's designed for Poser, so the second one is, as well. What you would need to do is in Daz Studio there's a place for you to add a Poser runtimme.
The easiest way would probably create a second folder outside of your Daz content. Label it Poser. extract the files into that folder.
Here's a shot of mine - I actually use Poser on occasion so I have a Poser content library already set up. You could label is anything you want, just as long as you can find it.
Then in Daz Studio under content if you collapse the content folder by clicking on your content tab, then the library in the very left as shown below (yours might be labeled differently):
It will collapse and look like the below. right-click on Poser Formats, then Add a Runtime Library:
It'll take you into Windows Explorer. Find the location of your Poser runtime, click on it and select it,
I didn't go further because I didn't want to have to delete a runtime. From there you would extract your files into that folder. To access them in the Content Library collapse the Daz Content Library, then go to your Poser format content:
Expand it:
You'll see your list of Poser format categories. Yours would be under Figures. Don't bother with Materials or Lights, if they're there, as they don't work in Daz Studio. Drill down to the desired object, and treat it like you would Daz Content.
I don't have the first one you listed installed, and the second one is in it's own runtime and I didn't want to confuse you by drilling down to that. I just selected something I'd converted to La Femme.
Caveat: the textures might or might not work. I usually run the following script that you can download here:
RSSY 3Delight To Iray Converter (UD 2019-09-10)
it will be installed under Scripts and is INVALUABLE, especially if you're importing Poser content.
Here's an example:
That octopus is, as far as I know, the only one in existence in our particular world. I imported him from my Poser runtime and ran that converter script over it.
Hope this helps!
