I'm afraid I have to agree: if you havent backed up your downloads, now's not the time to blame CP. I dont especially like some of the changes, but I'm willing to give them a shot and see what it's all about.

I certainly wont miss the forums: some of the moderators there appear to have graduated from the Dick Cheney School of Good Customer Relations. About the only forum that seemed to have anything worthwhile was the one for Anime Pro, but considering how quiet it's become of late, it looks like folks have moved the dicussions elsewhere anyway.

CP's store has some great stuff in it, but they just never quite figured out how to make it all look "glamorous" ike DAZ. They expected that you would look at the product and buy it on its own merits, which is murder for impulse buying like the Poserverse. Maybe this time they'll get it right.

Edit to add: if nothing else, thank God CP never went the "installer" route. Here's hoping the new store maintains that policy...
