Why am I going to hate this? Great and Powerful threadmaster! I could care less what the TM stands for. In close to three years on this forum, I can't ever recall seeing a "threadmaster" screwing with threads, and I look forward to your endeavors. Considering how little threads have been compiled for downloading in this forum, I'd say the twelve of you aren't doing your jobs. As to getting ahold of the sysop, I don't really have a need to. I'm happy with the way things are going now. If you feel that there needs to be some new regulation and/or restriction, then by all means start your implementation. I sure hope Autodesk starts to pay you, because it will be an extremely large task. Since you evidently like to tout your all powerful hand around here because you have a TM attached to your name and you have free flags, lets not forget in this discussion that while I have over 30 copies of Autodesk products, 3D Studio, Animator Pro, and Autocad, while I spend on average $2000+ dollars on this forum every year, and while I spend a heck of alot of time on this forum answering tech questions continuously, additionally providing Adesk with support products to bundle with their packages, and generally do a heck of alot to aid Adesk in everyway possible, I think both you and your brethren should take a serious look at what drives this forum and take the time to realize that we're not kids sitting around with nothing better to do, we happen to pay for this forum on a daily basis, and our purchases and use of Adesk products is what allows Adesk to put those free flags on your account. I'd say that if you feel that there's a need to take this to a higher authority, then maybe we should fly out to Autodesk and have a long discussion of this whole problem. I'm sure Adesk would pay for your trip, since they obviously intrust you with control of their only support chain. Let's see, I figure that I answer somewhere around 100% more questions here than you do. Who do we feel does more to support this forum? If you believe that you have the need and desire to start regulating this forum, then I'm sure the forum members would be thrilled to have you. When you edit that Summa thread make sure you notice the 4 messages from Jonas unrelated to the header, 1 message from Nik totally unrelated, and the message from Gary. As a matter of fact, make sure you realize that the only person who actually answered the question regarding the Summa was John Tissavary, Jonas took the thread south. Next? Paul E. Lind IV C.E.O. ANIM8 Incorporated P.S. – Since you felt it necessary to explain TM, let me explain that the CEO attached to my name means that I'm the one who signs all of the checks for all of those Adesk products my company purchases. If you notice the company name, you'll notice that we're the ones with Bingo cards in every copy of the 3DS and AniPro packages, and if you noticed the spelling of my name, I'm sure you'll recognize it as the one Autodesk likes to attach to quotes selling their products.
