Bumped down to statues - others

[dechirico7]

I am sure they just decided to cut in some places, and forum support was part of that decision. They probably felt that they didn't need it.

I highly doubt it was due to any criticism. IF it was, well that is just silly. They brought it upon themselves with terrible production on pieces for years. It looks like they are finally trying to fix this though. Which is great. Hopefully they start working on Customer Service now. I would say that is worse than their faulty pieces.

I think honesty and good information is what people gravitate towards when they first seek out a forum. It's easy to identify the bashers, the thinkers, the super-fans, the irate customers that keep buying, etc.

All good points... but when the basher start to simply spam various threads it gets hard to find the thinkers. I know I am known as an SSC apologist by many, but then they fall short they fall short and I call them on it. Maybe not in every thread because I don't read every thread. I say when they do a good job. However, I do that any product or company I follow. I will say though that I try to follow one simple rule these days.....

and that is the rule. The simple fact is that people make these statues that we love, and they deserve the respect to not have their work slagged. Should they be called on it when they fall short, yeah, but they don't need to be told their work is garbage.

$100,000 from Superman EX NRDs (I know there's more to that number, but generalizing) alone would tell me that whatever they pay for forum support here is beyond marginal. I'd have a hard time believing it was cost cutting, not saying that's definitely not the case, but it's a hard argument to believe on the outside.

Maybe just a temporary website design issue?

I belong to a very large reef aquarium forum, and one of the most praised, favorite online vendors just stopped their sponsored sub-forum one day. Just a business decision... there was no criticism...

A few months back Kotobukiya dropped down for a few days.

At the end of the discussion this is a huge advertising resource for Sideshow, whether good or bad and really there is no bad press. Seems like a lot of jumping to conclusions for a change that has only been noticied for a few hours.

I mean we all basically spam each other with hype to Sideshow's benefit here so I don't see what would really change.

If that was the case it would have already been addressed by a mod.
