I'm not sure it would do any good, even carraraests are tired of hearing about the issues with C8.5. DAZ certainly isn't going to do anything to fix it. We already know there wont be an update to C8.5; no C8.6.And C9 is questionable at best. I haven't hear really anything concrete about it, it's quite possable after the abysmal sales of C8.5 DAZ just gave up on carrara but doesn't want to blow any possable sales by saying as much. Ignorance is profit.

It also seems most carraraest aren't active on the forums/in the community. There is half a dozen regular posters here, maybe as many on the carraracafe, and possably only a dozen on the DAZ forum, a good postion of which are new users crossing over from studio.

I tried not to long ago to get everyone to contact sales/suport at DAZ and ask for an update to C8.5, did any one here do that? So what good would an open letter do?

DAZ has already come to the conclusion that people talking bad about carrara and DAZ is the cause of the low sales. It certainly had nothing to do with lacking promotions, updates, or development. Had nothing to do with DAZ taking carrara in a direction most carraraest didn't want to go.

I could get back on the DAZ forum, but I would have to make promeses that just would not be in my nature to keep. I'd have to do a lengthy post on the currant state of carrara, and regardless of how nice I posted it it's not information DAZ wants in it's forum. Seems DAZ's biggest enemy with carrara is the truth.

But then if carraraests wanted me back on the DAZ forum they wouldn't be turning in my alt accounts. Right now the DAZ carrara forum is being run by 3 crossover Studio cheerleaders, and I don't expect that to change.
