Vicky Four is very much alive, well used (and abused wink, wink), and well liked. There are lots of folks who've invested a pile of money in her and aren't willing to give that up. There's a thread in the Poser forum entitled "Are people still using V4-M4". It's been going for a while now and shows that there's lot of love (does that make it sound weird and creepy?) for Vicky Four.
