I just want to briefly mention how I arrived at the Questions mentioned above. I have already exchanged views with a few long-time Creators and Users, and I’ve learned quite a bit in the process. However, there are certain things I would like to have confirmed, specifically, whether they really are the case. First off, a quick note regarding the development of this Platform, as well as another one, that features adult Products. Here is an excerpt from our conversation.

"...at the same time PFO was gaining popularity with the general 3d community.  More and more people were joining PFO and of course the more 'perverted' were also there.  There began to be some arguments and they got really heated, they were called the 'flame wars' as people were burning each other through comments.  The owner of the PFO was a woman who called herself 'Willow', and she was very much censoring the content of the site, not allowing 'hard porn', but artistic nudity was okay. This really set off a lot of arguments and a couple of guys from the community decided that they were going to make their own website..."

"...Those two were Jack and Ed Kammerer.  They got together with a hosting company named Bondware and they all created what is now renderosity.com.  Jack and Ed moderated the site.  I was in constant contact with them and told them besides having forums and galleries, they should open up a store so people could sell 3d models there.  They thought that a good idea, and with help and encouragement from Diane Thurgrift, they eventually opened a store."

"...At the same time, renderosity was starting to feel a little heat about the adult content and galleries. Bondware, the ISP, was warning them that since it is a public site, the hard core porn will become an issue.  The decision was made to break off the adult into it's own website and Jack and Ed started renderotica.com."

"...Jack and Ed went on a trip to Utah to visit zygote..." 

"...While they were on their trip, the owners of renderosity must have got cold feet about daz and since they officially held the keys to renderosity, they locked the doors to Jack and Ed and shuttered them out of the business.  Jack and Ed retained renderotica and made it the focus of their business and daz3d didn't want to collaborate because they were mostly mormons and wanted to steer away from adult content."

The Members who have been active here from the very Beginning probably know which Person I am in contact with. I would be interested to know whether these individuals are still active or indeed, if they are even still alive? 

I am also familiar with the History of Poser, from its inception in 1994 by a Person named "Larry Weinberg" right up to the present day. I am also aware that DAZ was originally called "Zygone" and created Figures and General Products for Poser. To the Best of my knowledge, DAZ Studio must have been released in 2005 or 2006, specifically because Poser was once again up for sale, and at that time, it was unclear whether the Software would continue to be developed. However, I don't want to give a History Lesson right now. This represents a portion of the knowledge I have gained through conversations with long-time Users and Creators, as well as through extensive research. Of course, anyone who experienced this firsthand would naturally be even more knowledgeable. 

This has nothing to do with Religious beliefs. I simply wanted to find out if this is actually the case. You are right, Topics like this have no Place in a 3D Forum. However, since I happened to be in contact with someone from this Company here, I simply took the opportunity. 

I wouldn't characterize the People I interact with as Haters or conspiracy Theorists. However, I do think they aren't entirely wrong. My Impression of the DAZ Forum so far Points in a similar direction, the People there are, in a way, just a little bit different.

Just a quick note again regarding the DAZ Forum and Forums in general, so far, I haven't really gained any significant added value from them. While you can find plenty of guides on the DAZ Forum, some of them are explained in a very convoluted manner. Up until now, I’ve generally found a solution by searching for relevant Videos or by asking the handful of People I’m in contact with.

I take your word for it that this Person (RHaseltine) is surely a good and pleasant individual. However, I harbor a general mistrust toward People who work for Companies like this, as they are always obliged to speak on behalf of their Employer. Consequently, I will have to look around for someone else. 

I hadn't really expected to find what I was looking for anyway. I simply wanted to gain a basic understanding, specifically regarding the Genesis Figures and the Victoria 4 Figure, so that I could then look for a Creator who could assist me with my specific Project. Although I had consistently stated that I understood how a Forum works, I now realize that this simply isn't what I need to resolve my Issues. I am actually looking for People who can provide practical assistance, that is, someone who can create something new or modify something that already exists. 

I’m sure I’ll get another reprimand now for mentioning the name of a competing site again. However,

I would still really like to get some answers to the Questions I posed above. Ideally from the Person I mentioned (RHaseltine), it would simply be interesting to know whether this individual is closely affiliated with DAZ and whether he holds a significant Position within the Company. Is he perhaps even part of DAZ’s Senior Management?

If anyone has direct contact with him, perhaps they could draw his attention to this Topic.

I think I’ve caused enough damage. I really need to stop now, otherwise, I’ll just get myself into even more Trouble. I think it would be better for everyone if I simply stopped posting in the Forum. I’d like to leave it at that.
