There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I myself would go for SIW's, but to each their own I suppose.
This is also a common issue when it comes to people using Franoys' skeletals; they tend to in general be very carnosaur-conservative and it is by no means set in stone. But many believe it is.
The difference is that Franoys is a well-respected paleo artist and a practicing paleontologist he's at university right now studying to become a full-time expert when it comes to these animals and how to reconstruct these animals. You are a Carnosaur fan that prefers to use outdated and higher-end estimates because you like to push Carnosaurs you have a biased for these animals while trying to downplay Tyrannosaurus. Franoys uses the most current data to create his work. And near enough everyone within the paleo community states his work his the most accurate to use. He's more credible than you are it's just that simple. If you did not have your bias views people would take you more seriously. But right now its plain as day what animals you like and do not like so people do not take you seriously and why should they? you are not being objective.
You have been told over and over and over again the issues with what you like to state is fact and why you should not use outdated work. Everyone on the theropod discord tried to help you and tried to tell you over and over what you were doing was not the most accurate way to look at these animals. You flat out refused to listen to anyone and carried on downplaying Tyrannosaurus while using outdated work and then you were banned after being told time after time to correct your behavior.
Like i have stated to you countless times please leave your bias out of it and stop repeating the same mistakes over and over. Then maybe people will stop being so hostile towards you.
