Les here...
Just a general notice to any interested in what's up with us. As a business, from time to time circumstances arise that cause you to have to really consider the direction you're heading in and whether or not your focus is where it really needs to be. We've had a very good run through the years with our store, but for a plethora of reasons, we've decided it is simply time to close the store down. While the reasons for this decision are numerous, there are a couple that I will site as being primary. 1. The store simply represented a frightening workload for Rebekah. As the store's size would sometimes grow, and others recede, it always seemed that no matter what, it just kept turning into more and more work for her on top of her other responsibilities with our business. 2. when comparing the cost in both hours of maintenance work and actual fees, it came to attention rather boldly that our business could operate a lot more cost effectively if we return to selling as a vendor through other marketplaces. And 3. we realized that an important factor in our business has always been being open and available throughout the community, not just in terms of sales but also in terms of forum activity and personal accessibility. Closing down the store and forums will alleviate a massive amount of stress for Rebekah (and me too! we are married, y'know....) and should open up our time a bit more, allowing us to return to a greater level of forum activity. We are considering a return to the Rendo marketplace, due both to changes on our end and here at Rendo, and our products will continue to be released through Content Paradise. Our home website will be returning in the near future with it's focus being combined for the promotion of our studio and the work it is involved in both in and beyond the world of Poser as well as support for and cultivation of a growing list of custom clients.
If anyone has any questions regarding Sixus1 Media, our products, projects,etc, etc., please feel free to post them in reply here or contact us privately on this site or at the email Rebekah listed above.
Thanks!
