My free stuff items keep popping up because I've had hosting problems and have been forced to change the links a couple times. And unfortunately, editing a free stuff item here makes it pop up again. Blame Renderosity's archaic bullshit free stuff system, NOT ME! If I get one more nasty fucking e-mail or IM about this, I'M PULLING EVERYTHING. My son has had serious health problems for months and I don't have time to deal with a bunch of selfish, ungrateful fuckheads. I'm just trying to be generous and I'm sick and tired of getting kicked in the face for it.

I love your work so please forget about some bullshit some people write. There are many people think like me for sure but the others cry louder normally. Thomas

I'm sorry to hear about your son's health problems. I hope things improve for the both of you.

I'm sorry you are getting hassled. I had been thinking how generous it is of you to persevere in making your work available despite obvious hosting problems. I won't hold it against you if you ditch but in either case don't let the bastards get you down!! I am sorry about your child, it must be miserable for you all. Good luck. Best wishes.

sorry to hear about ur child......I can relate...thoughts and prayers going your way

"I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away"

Thanks:) I'm sorry, I probably flew off the handle there. But damn it, I have 54 free stuff items. A few are for my marketplace figures (and some of those could be used with other figures), but most aren't. There are complete original figures, interior sets, posable props, all free for commercial use. I didn't have enough room on my Rendervisions space to fit all my stuff, so I had to find other free hosting to be able to offer everything. zUpload crapped out on me, theupload.com tried to install spyware, and some people were having trouble accessing savefile.com for some reason. Finally, MGCJerry offered me safe, stable hosting. It's been a huge headache for me, uploading everything over and over on my measly dial-up connection, changing all those damned links time after time. But I did it because I like to share. And what do I get for it? Nasty e-mails and IM's. My free stuff, some of which were fairly successful products at one time, some which I've often received requests for, are suddenly spam. I'm sorry that Renderosity's system is screwed up, but that's not my fault. If anyone wants to bitch, go to the Community Center forum and demand that they change the system, that edited items don't show as new uploads. But don't blame me. Many thanks to all those with kind words, though. I can really use them right now...

You're in our thoughts and I want to say a big "thanks"; I have enjoyed the freebies immensely!!! Hang in there. And ignore the nasties. Tim

Yikes! The old saying "no good deed goes unpunished" has some merit I'm afraid. That doesn't make it any less good, but it sure makes it harder. I understand that. There's a thread a few below this one on the meaning of the term "complete idiot." Maybe the ingrates need to be referred to it. Or a plan "B" might be to simply respond to those IM's and Emails with one word. "Onara" That means "fart" (maybe even 'honorable fart") in Japanese. It probably won't make anything better but I (and certain French soldiers) know that sometimes it helps one to deal with difficult people by farting in their general direction. Hang in there and don't hesitate to take a break if you need to. You are very appreciated by most of us. [p.s. Yes, that really is the Japanese word for fart.]

Hey, X2000, You are STILL the MAN! I've always appreciated the fine work you've done and the great gifts you've given to the community. Ignore the people who always have to find something to complain about. They haven't had a new upgrade of Poser to whine about for a while now, so they must have a lot of pent up frustration. Thanks for everything you've done. And I send you best wishes for your son's health to improve. -jjsemp

I love your freebies! People aren't happy unless they have something to bitch about; someone else to complain about or blame for their problems. :( Best of luck to you and your son, as a parent I can totally feel for you. --Rebekah--

please forgive them, x. and best wishes for a speedy recovery for your son.

yes , i love ur freebies too:) i have d.loaded them (a while back now)and they r great actually for my sci fi scenes :D they are truly wonderful. hope everything goes well w u and ur son.:)

I figure this is the best answer I can give.

My best wishes to you and your son ! hope he gets well soon!

I enjoy your freebies a lot!

please don't pay attention to nasty people

Blessings

Thanks everyone:) And special thanks to AntoniaTiger. That's a pretty damn good answer;) I love seeing my stuff put to use. And yeah, I should know better than to let a few assholes ruin it for everybody, but the last IM was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I should also know enough to take a breath before I post, but sometimes ya just gotta rant, you know?;) I don't expect anyone to kiss my ass or anything, but I don't expect insults and accusations, either. Oh yeah, it's all part of my evil plot to... hmm... you know, even my sinister mind can't think of a scenario where having my free stuff popping up as new again and again could possibly work to my advantage. Lord knows it hasn't helped sales of my products in the slightest... lol

PS: I just edited the last five items earlier, so once they're re-approved/reposted, everything will be back up here and the savefile links are all history. Which means, yes, there will be five more items popping up as new again... sigh

Hi x2000,

I am very sorry that you have been "bitten" by the system. Please understand that there are some people out there that would complain even if they were going to be hung with a BRAND NEW ROPE!

Your models are excellent (as shown by AntoniaTiger - Thanks Antonia) and their excellence is only exceeded by your generosity in sharing them.

My best wishes for your son's health to improve from one who knows that if you don't have good health ... then everything else really doesn't matter.

Keep you chin up and thanks for venting here and giving us a chance to respond.

Keep this in mind ... there are FAR more good folk out there than F****** B*******s. The only problem is ... the FB's usually scream louder, more harsh, and longer than the good folk.

Take care, be well, and ..................................................... straight ahead.

Sorry to hear of your son's health problems. You really don't need any other aggravation at a time like this. For what it's worth, I have downloaded a few of your free items and I intend to put them to use in the near future. As far as the complainers go, fuck 'em. Your stuff is great and I - along with a lot of other people - appreciate the hard work you put into them. I hope you don't decide to pull them but if you do, I understand and don't blame you one bit. My best wishes to you and your family.

Oh my god- someone speeking plainly, with passion and directly. On this site. Unheard of.... good rant X :D Like Momodot said, don't let the bastards get you down bud :)

sorry you feel you have to say this. but when you did. you said it to everyone that logs on here.yes i have been getting a little tired of seeing your free stuff pop up, but i also understand why it has done so. i also understand what a right pain in the backside it is, when your web space drops or you have to change or move your files. but that dose not give you the right to post a suject line like this. if you have had IM using the same words as you have posted then maybe you should have reported them to the mods, but the best way to counter people who atack your work from the gutter, is not to Descend to that level. myself and alot of people here Respect your work, but we all have a life out side of here, not all of them are good.

Hi, Ilove your free stuff and i hope you keep doing it. i really hope things improve soon. i think the problems downloading from some freespace providers are due to explorer as if they won't download i just change to safari. love esther

Please don't take what a few (hopefully it's just a few) unpleasant people are doing as the way most people are reacting, and please don't punish the rest of us by taking away your wonderful freebies. People do have a tendency to write when they're upset more than when they're not. It is inexcusable that they should be nasty in writing to you. Hit that delete button and forget them! Hope your son gets better real soon!!!

Its amazing what people get away with here. After reading the original post - I've got some choice four letter words for where you can post your free stuff. But I never go to that extreme. Nothing that happens online means anything, thats why they developed delete buttons .. its the real life stuff thats important. Yeah, I know the complaints can be annoying .. and you have the right to be pissed .. but come on .. grow up dude.

I check the Poser forum and freestuff daily so I'm well aware of your hosting problems. Seeing the same stuff by you posted in the freebies section more than once doesn't bother me. I'd already assumed it was the way the site operated that updating anything in that section made the product "1st in line". Of course, not everyone reads the forum. As such they will not understand why your models are being posted again and again, then take the classic "we're being spamed", line. I can understand their attitude if they can't work out what's going on. I see no need for a thread title like this. Either deal with the flack from individuals by refering them to Renderosity staff to explain how the system works, or ignore them and keep on doing the good work you seem more than capable of. WISQ

kathym, wisq, you know, I'm sorry I lost my temper, but I'm going through enough stress in real life that I'm in no mood to pussyfoot around. Anyone who can't accept a gift with some courtesy doesn't deserve even the slightest consideration.

Incidentally, most of the complaints have been e-mails, so I don't even know their R'osity usernames.

I know there's a lot of good people here, but sometimes it's easy to forget that...

But thanks to everyone for all the support. You've definitely reminded me why I'm here:D Let's just put the issue to rest so I can go make more goodies;)

X2000 has the right to express him/her self in whatever way s/he wants. This person has a sick son. I can understand the "strong" reaction and language. It was the Renderosity Administrators who allowed this messages to be posted. Those who find the language offensive should complain to them and refrain from "scolding" X2000.

I know how you feel and I LOVE YOUR CREATIONS! If you need anything - additional or backup hosting, a friend to talk to - anything, just let me know! Tell the ungrateful bastards to come talk to me. I'll set them straight as to which finger they can sit on and spin. >:-D

I can't provide individual domains, but I have an FTP server which a few people find useful for hosting Free Stuff items. And it's free. And it's been operational for five years at least. Barring an act of nature, it should continue for some more years. I cannot offer all the bells and whistles of a proper hosting service, but then it's not as volatile as these so-called free services. :) The machine is on a firewalled router with 24-7 AV protection, a good FTP server software, tons of storage (80GB solely dedicated for the internet), and I check it daily.

I am very sorry about your son's health problems. I hope and pray he'll get better... and SOON. I am glad though that you had the guts to post such a topic. So far I don't have that many freebies on my website but as an admin at 3dSaraCreations, I can tell you we received more nasty emails than thank you notes for the 3 mega-projects we released. It is not motivating to go on sharing, I know. Some people think they are owed everything. I wonder sometimes if they'd want us to render our freebies for them too? ;o) Hang in there, you're not alone! France

Oi, if you're the mtre d', you said you were booked solid for every time we tried to book this place for our dinner, but I don't see many customers in here now, and there weren't the other times we passed.
Er, their plane's late, the airport rang, they'll be coming.
And every time?
And you'd want the place exclusive, I couldn't put other customers in the spare seats. And too much risk you'd get a call-out at the last minute and I'd be left with all the food cooked and I'd have to give it to the Aunt Sally [= Salvation Army] or something like when next door booked some firemen two months ago. Sorry, I don't take bulk bookings from uniforms who may get called out. And where's my doorman?

Thank you for all that you have done for the community and please try to forgive both the "UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS" and self rightchess who would chastise you for your language. I agree that if I came to this forum and saw alot of titles starting like yours I would'nt stay long but who here has'nt stubed there toe or had a bad day and had a need to cry out in pain. Yes there are better you could have handled this then the way you did but the are sure alot of worst was you could have done it also, at least this way the the Trolls of community can see how hurtfull the can be.What am I saying they will never learn My prayers goes out to you and yours

It's "mind over matter". If I don't mind,it don't matter.

I'm shy, and rarely post but this is worthy of comment. What you give is a gift and to have people yell at you about that to me seems completely unfair, and wrong. Your stuff is wonderful, I wish people would not be so rude to you, and thank you for sharing. That is all I have to say.

@ x2000: hi hun, have d/l some of your awesome stuff, thanx v. much. Don't let whingers get u down. Lotsa people here will back u up

Hang in there x2000, thanx 4 your generosity :) Best wishes to your son that he will get better soon.

If a freestuff link is edited that is older than 30 days, it doesn't pop up to what's new again. However if it's within 30 days then it does. I don't know why that is. I asked for them all to go back to their original spot but this is what I got. (They used to all go back to What's New, no matter when posted.) With the community conversion to Bondware 3 just around the corner, hopefully there will be some good enhancements to freestuff which will stop this happening in future. Just an FYI for all there :-) X2000, I hope your son is better soon. I know how distressing it is when a child is sick. Karen

I hope your son has a right speedy recover, it shouldn't be that when you are trying to give something for people to enjoy that you get such flack with it when you are dealing with your son's being ill you don't need that extra stress. I'm sorry a few ruin it for the many with complaints and mean words..you shouldn't be met with that when you are giving something freely for people to enjoy. It is a privaledge to download and use your items, not a right. Thank you so much for your d/ls I have a lot of fun with them. Plus big props for wanting to share so much that you'd transfer them over again when the links fail via dial up. That can not be a fun prospect.

Thanks again for all the kind words:)

Btw, everything is back up here now with the new links. And so far, no more nasty messages since I posted this, so maybe it did some good? You know, it's funny, it's taken days to get them all changed and approved/posted, five or so a day, but yesterday was the only day I received anything like that, and there were several. But hopefully, it will remain the only day...

My son has been through hell. Nothing really tragic like cancer or anything, but still a lot of misery. Since he started kindergarten in September, he's been sick pretty much constantly, catching every damned cold and flu that's passed through his class. Last month he even ended up with full blown pneumonia, a really bad case of it. He had to have IV antibiotics for days, lots of needles. Then the antibiotics caused an intestinal infection that caused him even more misery than the damned pneumonia, I mean screaming agony, vomiting, diarrhea... Then a week or so later, he got it AGAIN, due to antibiotics he was taken for something else! (Strong antibiotics wreak havok on your digestive system, killing good bacteria) Now we've gotten him over that again, he was finally feeling good again for a couple days, when BAM, he caught a bad cold again yesterday. The poor kid would be lost if he wasn't taking some kind of medicine every day. lol His immune system must be begging for mercy. Oh yeah, and he had to have his adenoids removed a few months ago, too.

And on top of all that, we found out he has a fairly bad case of scoliosis, which essentially means his spine is curved in bad ways. A few days before Christmas he had to start wearing a rather uncomfortable brace that covers most of his torso. He has to wear it pretty much 24 hours a day, and he'll possibly need it until he's in his late teens. He's dealing with it well, but it still breaks my heart.

So the boy hasn't really even been up to just running around the yard or playing in the snow or just things like that. He's really had a rough time, and had to face the new adventure of school through it all.

So if I lose my temper with assholes like these, I think you can understand why.

OK green fella...step AWAY from the destructo-ray ;) Sorry to hear about all your problems mate...but I don't think it would have taken me that much to get pissed off with the assholes who love to snipe at people. I'd have beat up on them anyway. Here's hoping your son is on the road to recovery, and may the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of those who sent the bitchy emails to you.

The liver is evil - It must be punished.

Elizabyte - I met my husband online as well .. we met face to face a month later .. and a month after that we were married. Its been 3 years so far and we have a 2 yr old daughter. What I was referring to with my "nothing that happens online means anything" comment - was the fact that people get sooooooo bent out of shape but stuff said by people they don't know and will probably never meet. Thats why I don't take anything that happens on the world wide weird seriously.

Let it be their problem and block their emails. Too bad you can't put in a script to keep them from downloading from you. Our prayers are with you and your family. Don't let the morons stress you out, not at all worth it. You are appreciated by far more than the blockheads who are sending the rude stuff your way. Marque

It seems to me that you mentioned your server problems a while back. Anyone who cannot sympathize with your predicament doesn't deserve to benefit from your considerable talents and generosity. Too bad you can't block them from getting the items.

I think most of us here know you were a victim of circumstances, and understood what had been going on. Keep up the good work and thank you for so many really nice items. Don't let the ignorant, ungrateful trolls get you down.Unfortunately, some idiots don't appreciate anything. Hoping for a speedy and complete recovery for your son, as well. That has got to be difficult for you.

Message edited on: 03/25/2006 14:36

X2000, Yes, I do sympathize with your problems, and your son's health concerns. However, your post lashed out at EVERYONE in this forum, not just the Ungrateful Bastards. It would have made more sense to keep your tirade private. That's what I meant.

Well since I am not a FUB I knew he wasn't lashing out or talking to me, which I am sure most folks knew too. Hope those that are FUB's got the message. Any one that helps, offers free stuff, or has been around for awhile knows what X2000 was feeling. Usually you keep that stuff in your head unless certain conditions force it out. My puritan up bringing usually keeps my temper publically checked. Actually even though I am so sorry for your trouble X2000, I glad to see I am not the only that has that FUB feeling at times. Son is a real cutie! Hope they get his health problems concerns taken care of ASAP! Know the feeling when we are worried about our children. Sending that bright healing light and blessings to your family. :-)

Well since I am not a FUB I knew he wasn't lashing out or talking to me Ditto. If the shoe fits... but in this case it didn't, so I didn't bother to get offended. bonni

Thanks for the heads-up, Xantor. But I tried several items I'm not getting the same message as in your IM, though. Which file did you try to download? The screen grab shows what I get. Which is different from how it worked before, but no biggie. You don't actually have to join the site, just type in the code to verify your not using some sort of mass download software or something I guess.

But maybe there's something different about the file you tried to download? Or maybe Jerry was in the process of making changes at the time and the message you received was only temporary? I don't know yet, this is news to me. Before, once you clicked your download just started, no pages came up. But maybe someone was abusing the privilege and Jerry had to put a protective measure in?

All the files come up with the downloads zip, I tried 5 or 6 different ones and it happened with them all. If I go to 2thextreme I can download the files normally. I thought that it might be a cookie problem but that is unlikely, here is the message in the zip in full: Hi. I suppose you want to know what the hell is going on. Here's the scoop. The site you downloaded this file from is not authorized to link to the file you requested. You can download the intended file from our real site at http://www.2thextreme.org/modules.php?name=Downloads The best part of our downloads, you dont need to register to download them, and you are getting the files from the original source so you can be assured the files are legitimate and current. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I dont believe I should pay for traffic that I do not see when people hotlink our files from their server. Feel free to drop by our site and enjoy yourself. Cheers, MGCJerry http://www.2thextreme.org

What browser are you using? Maybe that has something to do with it? I'm afraid I'm not that knowledgable about these things, I'm just a modeler;) I suggest you IM Jerry and see what he has to say.

I tried clearing out the cookies from internet explorer and it seemed to fix it, but after I logged into 2thextreme the same thing happened again.

I sent MGCJerry an IM about this.

Cool. Unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce the problem here. I'm using IE6 myself, so if it's not a browser issue, I have no idea. I'm not even logged it at 2thextreme right now, so that's not an issue. I can't figure out why it works for me and not for you. Hopefully, Jerry will have more luck:)

Please let me know how it turns out.

I am using IE6 too, it seems to be a problem at 2thextreme and not renderosity.

Thanks for the heads up...

Heres the thing with downloading items and getting a download.zip file instead.

If you are registered on my site, and try to use the links in the freestuff section here you will get the "download.zip" file. This is because that registered users bypass the "password check", and get served the file. And since rosity is not an authorized referer, the hotlink protection takes effect and serves "download.zip" instead. Also "Referer blocking" settings in your browser/ ad killer will also result in getting the "download.zip" file

This only applies to people who've registered on my site, and continue downloading items from the rosity freestuff.

Since I will NOT allow rosity "direct linking", those that are registered will encounter this. If I allow "direct linking" for rosity, it will allow people to post the file link around the forums and fetching the file directly (bandwidth theft). I want people to see my site to get the files. Sorry, but because of bullshit I've had in the past, this practice will not change.

Heres a couple workarounds through.

Browse the download section on my site and get them that way.
Logout on my site, then click the links in freestuff here.
Forge your HTTP headers to make it seem like its coming from 2thextreme.org HOWEVER altering HTTP headers incorrectly may result getting an error. ALSO because of my site's in-house coded security system, it may detect problem headers that match a specific pattern as an attack and deal with them.

This should help you guys out. BTW, at time of post I used 7.6GB of bandwidth and I have a max of 8GB month. Dont worry, I'll take care of this. :)

Ok... Time expired to edit post... So I gotta do a new reply...

Now that I've had a moment to read this whole post...
Get over it people. Dont bitch at the wrong people for the way rosity handles their download system though itd be an easy MySQL query edit to make them show up in the order they were submitted.

Anyway, I've done some math so lets take a look at something... x2000 has 80.4 MB of files uploaded which he did via FTP. I know it took him a loooong time to do so. How long? Let's put it into perspective...

*56K is actually limited to a MAX of 53K per FCC

53K dialup never hits maximum throughput with TCP/IP overhead, line noise, signal strenth, server utilization, connection saturation, etc... Uusual connects based on times and such varies from 14K up to 48K.
TCP/IP overhead kicks in now on the connection, and depending on line you get an ACTUAL speed of approx 3.78 KB/sec (with fluctuations) download rate (going at 31kpbs)
Upload speed is horrendous. 1-3KB/sec. Lets go with an upload rate of 2KB/sec (16,384bps which is fine for dialup).
Lets do the math. Total size of downloads (80.4MB = 643,200,000 bits) * Going at the rate 16384bps... 39,257.8125 seconds to transfer that 640 million bits.
Basic math skills needed to convert 39,257 seconds into hours. ~10.9 hours.

Of course I dont feel it took him 10 hours of total uploading, I still feel it was on the scale of 6-8 hours since it seemed he did have a good upstream which I'm sure hes thankful for.

For those that dont know where I got these numbers at, consult google for the numbers... 1KB = 1024bytes, 1byte=8 bits (internet speed measured in bits since it sounds faster)

Okay, we needed an SNL references in here. :)

Smut? Why, I'll have you know that my models are 100% family-friendly. I run everything by Jerry Falwell before I release them. How can you possibly... what? Slut? Not smut? Oh. Never mind.

The sad thing is that although I now remember a post mentioning server problems, until I read this thread I had it in my mind that x2000 was updating and adding new models. I was amazed at his prolific output! No I find it's just a computer glitch based on 'rosity's code's inadequacies. I'm still awed by his generosity but instead of a God he's now just a demi-god. And a am an unworthy worm. [grin]

Yes, you are. Now kneel before Me. Kneel and pray for My forgiveness. *Pray that I do not unleash My wrath upon you.* **Me? A mere demi-god? *BLASPHEMY! I am x2000, almighty master of the Poserverse! Remember that always, or you shall spend eternity with the Poser 1 man!***

Not that! Please, Not that! If I make it Demi-God (with capital letters) could I upgrade to eternity with Posette? But she doesn't even have to have genitalia. Hair would be nice though. Even helmet hair.

No, capitalization will not save you, My child. Tempt my wrath no more, or *this* shall be your fate!

Eeeeeeek! I just re-read what I wrote and realize there's been a terrible misunderstanding. I didn't mean demi-god as in "less than a full god." I meant a god that was so far above others that you were worthy of Demi Moore an her absolute prime. Please forgive me.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
http://home.roadrunner.com/~kflach/

Demi Moore, huh? Hmmm... consider yourself on probation.

You are truly gracious and merciful. Thank you, thank you, thank you! As an added demonstration of my true remorse, I shall now go to the restroom and spank myself.

People really send IM over this stuff? I have head people talk about stuff like that in the galleries too. I know I have gotten some, but I never think this stuff happens often. Kinda creepy the anger level that exists. Sorry they upset you. I am a bit suprised by it though. Wierd. Best of luck.

As a (free) game mods designer I can feel your pain.

Couple years back I made a free add-on editor for a game called Operation Flashpoint.
Some German company decided to make a mission expansion pack (read commerical)
and used my editor to do so when I had placed a for NON-COMMERICAL use what so ever clause in the readme and legal texts.

I contacted them and until I threatened to sue and had Codemasters backing me up did they say they would cough up a measly 1% royalties.

I got one check, then suddenly their phone number and fax machine were
disconnected. Being in the US there was not a whole lot I could do about it.

To make matters worse people started saying I sold out and yadda yadda yadda even
though the editor was still available for free!

I for one am grateful for your freebies. Hell, I bought one or two of them when they were for sale, and I'd buy more of you stuff if it was for sale.
As I can't do the actual modelling part myself yet, I appreciate that one hell of a lot of time goes into making them.

Please ignore the complaining retards, I'd hate to see your wonderful work disappear.

Don't let a small minority spoil it for everybody else, including your good self.

Along with everyone else, I hope your son's health problems disappear over time.

We're all with you here,

Alan aka Shadowdancer

As you can see Oh and I've used at least one of sets in my renders

Ahh, the sweet joy of thread bumping. :-D

Ahh, the sheer horror of forgetting to uncheck the reply notification box...

So sorry to hear you are being harrassed and about your son. You stuff is always top-Notch and I appreciate all your freebies. Hopefully your son will be well soon, my prayers are with you and your family.

Well it's not YOUR fault that Rosity bumps things as "new" if you change the link.

Speedy recovery to your son and all the best to you! Thanks once again for your generosity!

my wishes to your son as well...and your stuff is awesome...

I remember when a lot of the stuff you're giving away FREE was a product for sale.
To be honest here, I never bought any of it for lack of cash, but I used to look at your stuff constantly, and then one day...bang...it was all FREE .... happy days...

sorry there are so many o, or even a few, ungrateful people.

Hi x2000,

I do hope your son's problems are getting less and that he recovers soon. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks for the freebies you give, forget the ungrateful ones - it's their problem not yours - remember they have to live with themselves.

x2k

as long as you dont post the same red hair texture over and over .. grins

your stuff is very good and why on earth would people complain about free items reappearing in the freestuff list? I just like the memory jog every once in a while "Oh hey! I remember those I should do somthing with 'em"

and if you have host problems again let me know and I can put them up on mine .. you wont even have to reupload, I'll just dig out my copies lol

I've had a couple bitchy IMs about my ffreestuff and even my products .... I think the most memorable would be the chap who objected to david looking 'gay' in a couple promo renders (?) so after careful deliberation I told him that I "really didnt think beer-swilling-redneck-on-couch was a suitable pose for showing of Goth bodysuits .. but thanks for the opinion "

Lyrra

you mean people are complaining about you updating your items? i mean, personally, i figured out that it was the software when i saw old items reappearing.

unbelievable.

i really wish you and yours all the best. i've always enjoyed your truly unique aliens, your sci-fi scenes and your wonderful humor. you're one of the most generous individuals in the community. let me add my voice to those that say it's not worth your breath to even yell at such people. we all know you're great. if not for you and sixus1, all we'd have is bumpy headed humans passing for aliens.

Quote - if not for you and sixus1, all we'd have is bumpy headed humans passing for aliens.

And we can't have that, now can we? :scared: I think Star Trek must have pretty much mined every variation of forehead bumps by now anyway. Just FYI, I have several other aliens in various stages of development, so stay tuned... I also have a freebie scheduled for the PoserPros front page in the near future, and a few other things coming soon.

The forehead looks that irritate me are the ones that don't even make sense.

Humans must be,like Greys of the StarTrek universe, among the smoothest creatures.

Okay, so I know I am also bumping this thread by posting this but it's already at the top anyways so here it goes.

Could we please stop bumping this thread or change the title of the thread altogether? I spend quite of time reading posts in this forum and, everyday, I have to come across this hideous title. If others are not offended by it, then that's fine, but I am sure there are others like me who wishes not seeing this thread so often. I mean, I am pretty much certain that the original poster feels the message has been delivered and others have been done well in soothing the poster already right? I am really not trying to be a smartass, but it seems some posters are bumping this thread just for the fun of it. I would appreciate if we can just let this thread submerge in peace, or at least change the title to something less attractive.

Thanks.

As it seems some words are ok to use here (if you feel strongly about something) I will use one as I feel very strongly about this, who the FUCK is editing/changing adding to posts here, namely the image that has been added to my reply here, i have not added it, I wouldn’t know how, nor am I interested in do so. By the adding of that image, I feel that the tone of my reply has been changed, in that I am supporting x2000 and his topic here. As I said “I understand what is happening. I don’t support his action on it”

"Subject: YOU FUCKING UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!!!!"

Ouch, that one hurt, especially since I'm a real nice guy, lol. Thanks for all the excellent freebies you've made - much appreciated :o)

"....as long as you dont post the same red hair texture over and over .. grins"

ROFL!!! I remember those well. I was the one who got fed up after the 20th repost and complained. That was the old days when edits didn't move to the front of the queue.

:] Fish

just wanted to know my latest picture has 3 of your robots. Ony thing that confuses me is about 3 of them look identical..I wonder if the thumbnails' out of whack or something. Keep on with the good stuff..

Thank you for ALL your freebies. I love your stuff for scifi. Keep it up - please.

chinnei - Sorry, but I was quite angry, and I'm not exactly Mr. Rogers in the first place;) But for what it's worth, if a mod would like to (can?) change the title, they have my permission.

Failing that, you can always set the forum so that it doesn't bump posts to the top, just like it used to be.

your freebies are great, and without them getting bumped, i wouldn't have seen them, so there. :) yes, the freestuff software stinks, but that's nothing compared to the bad smell whiners such as those abusing you have. but really, whiners are small-minded pitiful people because they don't have anything better to do. whining is so much easier than creating something; consider feeling sorry for them instead -- you are creating nifty models, they whine -- no comparison, really. "nothing online means anything"? nonsense. i don't make a distinction between online and the rest of my life, because everything that happens online also happens offline, except it can be or seem more direct online. in some ways that directness is a blessing; sometimes it sucks. and i think it's best for one's mental health to learn to let negativity roll off one's back, online and in meatspace both. this is easier said than done, but it's a skill one can acquire with practice. one year i planted a seedling for every nasty thing that got to me -- being out in the fresh air doing a bit of physical activity got rid of the adrenaline, and i had the best garden ever! i figure we're creative people, we can come up with better ways to handle our stress if we only put our minds to it. best wishes for your son's health, and thank you for your freebies!

No need to apologize x2000, we all get emotional sometimes and you just happen to let it out that day. My post wasn't directed at you for making this thread but because I was baffled at how this thread manage to stay up day after day when I thought the message had enough time to serve its purpose. But, obviously, it wasn't meant to be and I've already disabled sorted by thread as soon as someone posted right after my request :)

Cheers!

"I was baffled at how this thread manage to stay up day after day when I thought the message had enough time to serve its purpose."

It's called "thread drift" and it's very common. You'd be surprised how few posts of long threads are devoted to the subject at hand sometimes and how far off-topic discussions can wander. Actually, aside from some joking around, this thread has stayed on target surprisingly well.

But yeah, I think the point has been made. I do thank everyone for all the support, though. :biggrin:

Edit: Just FYI, it turns out that mods can't edit titles, either, so I guess we're stuck.

They can't edit titles but they CAN lock the thread so that no new replies can be added to bump the thread.

:blushing:

x2000, Since you made the post, Couldn't you delete it?
I mean I could care less about the langauge, I'm just curious myself.

BTW, A question, I love your rooms that you make. What 3D soft do you use and method (box modeling etc) do you use? The reason I ask is you seem to have a very fast turn over and would like some adivce as to how I can speed up my modeling.. It takes me forever to model something but I'm very picky as to accuracy.
