Since it looks I am the one on the spot here, just because I was 100% honest stating what I trully think (and the very first to call it an unprofessional attitude - so READ that line of my post once again..) I think I have to clarify a few things once and for all... I don't chew up my words guys! I never did and never will.. especially after the same kind of thread having come up in this forum more than too many times started by Marque herself at all situations! I happen to be an export manager & deals negotiator in real life.. I know when it's time to go on smiling and keep on negotiating with a customer..and when it's time to QUIT smiling and don't give in further an inch at a debate! I do that for life and quite successfully.. and no Ron, no employer has ever showed me the door for this attitude so far! Being under stress "lately"...the understatement of the year! VL grin I am under too much stress at all times, just because once I set a goal I never stop till I achieve it, no matter what it takes out of me, how much hard work, personal negligance,lack of sleep or whatever else.. and I DID set as a goal once the subs site started - even stated so in public - to offer at PWFW the more I can at each time for the low subscription fee, so in the long run each file costs less than a few pennies or as close to a freebie as possible! To do that, I've almost given up my life (not to mention sleep) as it consumes much more than all the reasonable free time I can get, but I don't mind, complain or try to get out of it - it was my personal choice as I love Poser and what I do! So it's only human after all these efforts to react at least like I did, once something has been brought up too many times by the same person who obviously doesn't seem to appreciate a tiny bit any of the positive things before makig another identical post.. Like the fact that Allen is moving the server to his own house for God's sake, just to be able and respond instantly to each problem day and night! Yes Marque, this has been announced to the PWFW private forum and I was expecting you read it more often once as it's the appropriate place to deal with your problems.. Like the fact that every now and then a new T1 is added up to the site.. and we are not just happily enjoying & spending the income of subs as you presume, but spend it and use to improve at all times! Like the fact that each update includes a bundle! I could easily go ahead and post one or two files each time and just have everybody grab them with no downloading problem at all and be happy, while myself a lot less stressed and not overworked.. right? But I don't do that because I happen to value your subscription more than YOU do as it shows in the long run.. Like the fact that me and steve live a continent and an ocean far away from the server itself.. we don't have magic trics to pull off our hats or buttons to push and fix it all miraculously at the instance of your wish.. although we try our hardest even to pull off that at times! Like the fact that we do listen at all times and never ignore your contstructive feedback.. you asked for a what's new page only last week.. you got it on this update so you can access the download pages faster.. you asked for the clothes to be categorized by figure so you can find what you want easier .. .I DID that on my Xmas holiday even though it meant I had to redo most of the pages.. Like the fact that we've given you the choice to put up requests that suit your personal render needs and do our best to fulfill them in the long run.. most of the recent models are what YOU guys have asked for and many more are about to come as they're pending in my wips folder.. Like the fact that on top of all the above I have to fight "secret enemies" around this forum that try to throw us out from any place if possible, even though we never critisized, offended or dealt with how they carry out their own business, but obviously they do care a lot of how we carry out ours and somehow they consider it a threat.. You're all too much well aware on that, especially lately! Bottom line.. sometimes it helps to show a bit of appreciation to the good sides of things and not focus on just the bad ones, or at least try to deal with the bad ones in the proper place without hurting (willingly or unwilling) anybody! Meaning clearly Marque.. that if you are so unhappy with your PWFW subscription you could just go ahead and not renew as you plan instead of shouting it out to the world TOO many times, does it make any sense? I've been around the true business world for too long to detect some fancy suspitions at the back of my mind as to why and how this comes up by you, way too often lately.. please forgive me for that but as I said, I'm only human and one that uses her brain and witts to add up one and one equals two, quite a lot unfortunately! It's like second nature to me to think before hand, of the NOT obvious! I don't believe too much in coincedences, especially at this latest certain time following recent events in this forum... Finally, once I know that I do the best I can within my capabilities to offer my outmost.. I do believe I have earned the right to be totally honest as my own personal compensation! If this is considered and critised as an unprofessional atttitude by some.. well, I'd much rather not be a PRO than someone with double thoughts hidden inside! Rena
