I've been a lifetime member for years with no problems. And not only does Steve answer questions, the free Guinea Pig character floating around the Poser community was made by him in response to my relentless requests for a guinea pig!

PW is still the best bargain in the Poser community and, once you get your access, you will be downloading quality items for awhile...
