Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 03 12:46 am)
An average of four models a month? I thought I've paid for a new model each week, which means if there's five weeks in a month I get five models. I won't be renewing when my subscription runs out even though I like most of what I've gotten. The down times are constant now and that's no way to run a business.

Yes, I've noticed the complaints about the deletions in the forums. I thought when Xurge came on board that things would be better but they're not. I have to agree with you, Marque, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending the place to anyone either. I've been there over a year and it all keeps getting worse. It's sad really because they have offered things for all versions of Mike and Vic, which was helpful to those of us who still use some of the older versions as well as new versions. And, if you're offering a weekly item, it should be there, on time. I never understood why there weren't items prepared in advance. I offer free downloads on my sites and though it's only one new item each month for two different sites they are posted on the first in a timely manner because people expect it and those items are prepared in advance. Oh well, enough of my griping, guess that's the way the old cookie crumbles.

Its a shame, they had some very good content. With the addition of Xurge they'd been headed in a very inetersting Sci-Fi direction. But alas, site problems and not enough content can kill a subscription service. I've been debating getting a subscription again just to pick up the content from the last 6 months but .... I can't do that while the site is down. Not good. Lyrra
I had a 6 month membership a while back. When i joined i downloaded 30 or so pretty good items. I didn't renew, partly because I was hoping the site problems would be worked out. I just visited again today and found about 12 really good items posted since I was a member (the Mood shield was the first item up after my membership expired, which was what - 6 or 8 months ago? A lot of the items they post aren't of interest to me, but I may renew another 6 months just for the 12 items I see that I like. Anything else they put up I like in the next 6 months will be just gravy. They have a LOT more site problems than PW, RDNA, PPro, Renderosity, etc. - nearly as many as DAZ, (thought usually more serious) - But I've had frustrating problems with just about all of them on occasion. It's all bout the numbers - 30.00 isn't that much, all things considered, though obviously their forte is content, not site maint. . . . Just my 2 cents worth . . .
Yes, it's back up. I've never had a problem with their content, as I've said I've enjoyed just about everything they've offered even if I couldn't use it, and the Sci-Fi stuff that was posted in recent months has been great. And you're right, it's worth renewing if they have items that you like and can use. Six months of stuff for $30 is a bargain.

Well, they do certainly seem to have problems. But I did like the quality of what I got. It's some of the best around, I think. And I would have re-newed for that reason, and because Xurge was on-board and that seemed promising. But they didn't bother to tell me my subscription was going to expire, so I just said heck with it. I still wouldn't know, if I hadn't tried to download something and wasn't able to see the links. But even that wasn't a give-away. I've had a lot of trouble accessing the site since I use ZoneAlarm. I would have to play with the settings until I could finally see them. I then posted in their forum. Finally got an answer - subscription was up. But I had to read it in the forum in response to my post.
I won't be renewing when my subscription runs out even though I like most of what I've gotten. Yes, that sums it up for me, too. The actual content is fine, but the site has more problems than a manic-depressive teenaged girl, and the customer support is poor to nil, generally speaking. I can do without the hassle. The stuff may be good, but when the service is so bad... shrug bonni

I gave up on them several months ago. Many of their items were missing files, or had bad texture references, etc. They never responded to any of my communications. And, yes, their site had too many problems. At this point, I am pretty disenchanted with all the Poser subscription sites I've done business with. They just don't quite get the dynamics of dealing with customers.
