Come on, Earl, you're smart enough to know exactly why. Between the Songbirds disappearing from the download history of DAZ customers, Chris' evident membership "demotion" at RDNA, and Netherworks' locked thread, the war on Hivewire and their customers has been engaged.
As I said a week ago, I just hope we all stand strong.
Hey,Ken, slightly off topic, but do you have any parakeets, or Canaries at Hivewire?
Respectfully, no one is asking anyone to take "sides".I still have the Songbird products in my product list and I can still download them manually or via DIM.
And personally I don't see any war going on and it would be sad to see any mud slinging starting here its bound to create friction and could have the effect of giving Hivewire a reputation for allowing DAZ bashing to flourish, I'd really hate to see that, I use this website and store but I also use and shop at DAZ and very occasionally rendo, I use Poser though only a little being mainly a DS user, and I'm not going to be pushed into taking sides.
Pet Shop has budgies and canaries. If you are looking for a specific bird, the best place to look is my bird wiki encyclopedia. It has every bird I've ever created with an unretouched render, species information and links. While the birds are sorted by region and ornithological type, there is a search feature so you can look for it by name.
So I'm going to go out on a limb and say you more than 'like' birds, you love them . That being said, you're birds are just amazing and it's especially great that you've organized them by species and such, although I was glancing through and was sad because at least one woodpecker species was marked (extinct???).
That's unfortunate Alisa. I've always liked RDNA's forums, and it's sad to see what's going on since the announcement of the merger.I'm even sadder about the whole thing given some things that have happened to me on the forums there yesterday and this morning - RDNA was always a site I liked and I've bought a lot of content from them over the years. I had been over there trying to help their customers but I guess that has not been appreciated.
The only birds pack I bought from you at DAZ was Corvus Corvus a couple/three months before you left, and I have installed and used them, so I'm glad for that.Tparo-- several customers came to me for backups because they were experiencing problems with the download manager -- the purchases were listed but the files weren't there or corrupted. I don't have any of them in my account (being the creator of them), so there's no way for me to know for sure what the issue was. In any case, there's now a way to get the most current versions via Hivewire3D.
Well, I have every single email invoice I've ever gotten with regard to any of my 11 years of purchases at RDNA, as well as a spreadsheet listing every item, with respective invoice numbers and dates of purchase. Do you think I should still backup my invoice pages at RDNA?I had answered the one before mine where someone asked about products moved over here being updated, and I said that we hope to be able to and that people should back up their RDNA invoices because those would be needed.

YUP. I learned a while back to not bother with their forums. Same with the 'Rosity forums. There is always war breaking out at the first sign of having a different path, goal or opinion. I don't deal with immature mud slinging well so I just avoid places that have that kinda stuff going on. No reason why folks have to go down those paths dragging everyone down into it but I guess folks like that like war and arguing. I don't.

Well that's a good point. When I was there after the announcement there was some pretty heated words going back and forth, didn't make me want to go there and constantly read all the doom and gloom posts. Got to be depressing.
You know Hornet, I also felt the announcement didn't feel like it was coming from the RDNA folks we've all come to know over the years. Maybe they felt it was better to make it "cut and dry", rather than getting all emotional about it.
I read Regina's long post on Facebook, and it was very informative. That is the kind of announcement, though maybe not as lengthy, I would've expected, so the merger itself was disappointing, and the announcement too was disappointing. Doesn't leave much to be happy about. Of course, I wish them all well as they're good people, and I hope they get from this merger what they're expecting.
