Now ... "The Mooch" deserved to be ditched after 10 days. I still find it rather hard to believe that anyone would behave in such an utterly unprofessional way. But for you guys to be ditched like that for such questionable reasons. Well, it really says a lot about DAZ.

Sorry, late on the uptake on this. I read your post earlier, but I didn't connect to "The Mooch" comment until I heard it again on the radio today. Someone was referred to getting unfairly attacked, and screwed, and he said he got "Scaramouched"

It was funny. Then I made the connection again to your comment Satira.

I, for once, was never a fan of 3D animals... until I saw what HW was doing here. I ended up buying all the cats - big and small. If someone told me I would be buying 3D animals years ago, I would say they were nuts. Stuff happens...

Ha, that's awesome. Seriously!

That's OK. I was chatting with her last night and had to ask who The Mooch was, and I read the NY Times Headlines eNewsletter every day, and STILL didn't make the connection.

Whoa! We've seen Chris in the super cool Zoot Suit. We've seen Chris on the awesome motorcycle and now we've got a smart new Green Chris? Move over Ruckus, the Big Guys here! :D

MHAHAHAHA did someone mention a Zoot Suit? :D

Oh I remember the first time I saw it. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. It still brings a smile to my face. :)

Surprised you both remember that Zoot suit. Shows you've been around a while.

I think you should resurrect the photo for old time's sake. It's great LOL

(EDIT: You beat me to the punch!)

OK ... why did I also remember a bright yellow one. Am I remembering correctly? Or am I confusing you and Jim Carey? LMAO

I have them, I just rarely used them. However, I use the Hivewire one's now more than anything else. The realism is so much better. I'm super excited to see the rest of the line up come out.
Huh, the quote didn't come through. This was in reference to the comment about never thinking they would buy 3D animals

Yes you are. I've worn a couple different ones over the DAZ years for company parties and games.

Ewwwww!! :D

LOL, I definitely remember the first time I saw the Zoot Suit at DAZ - I also almost fell off my chair laughing, and it was sooooo much the feel of DAZ back then!! Knew I'd like you then and there, Chris!

Hi there. I've lurked here, and purchased occasionally.... (birds, mostly). And I've wanted the other animals so much. I was DELIGHTED when Daz announced the HW Big Cat. Didn't pick it up because I'm short of cash and I never use the Daz Big Cat as it is... but I was so excited about the Housecat and the Horse (I love the textures and morphs so much) and the one-day Dog.... and now I am shocked and sad and annoyed and frustrated. And I guess I'll be getting my Horse directly from HW someday (with Iray mats, yes? still?) although there's extra annoyance: I was sticking extra dollars for Harry directly on Daz as store credit so I could keep it out of the way of other expenses. Bleah.

After reading the first announce thread I went and took a look at the free Dusk I got at some point. Specifically at his rigging.... he seems a lot smoother to pose than G3M. Which makes me wonder where exactly that free DIM-packager is, and if the Cross-Dresser stuff works well.... because I think I'll be spending more money here.

Welcome Dreamfarmer! I love Dawn, but for some reason, find myself creating clothing for Dusk more frequently. He wears them all so "elegantly."

is there a way of getting email notifications when a new reply is posted in a thread you're commenting in?
Yes, click on your user name at the top right of the forum and it will drop down a list. Choose Alert Preferences, and have fun. ;)

OK, I just realized Alerts are listed in the upper right corner of the forum (to the right of your user name), but I'm not sure if there are emails sent out for that.

Wait, I think if you "subscribe" to a thread (or subforum), then you'll get an email when someone adds a new post.

There is a "Watch thread" link in green at the top right of the forum page, that will send ebots.
Mine says unwatch as I'm already watching it.

Oh, it might be a different colour, there is a way to alter that but can't remember.
