I am sure the site issues are mine, however the lack of support is troublesome.

the support was quite quick but the questions remain ...i am sorting this out with my tax advisor.
Bloody EU rules :-/

Still its the best and cheapest model site out there.

I often buy a month subscription to their "free" selection which gives you access to 30 models from their "free" level per day. Quality is usually pretty good for my purposes. Holy crap there's a lot of pirated textures on their models though, often without even names changed.

I fixed my thumbnail issue. I had to reset my router. However, I am getting absolutely no support. 1/2 the things I purchase are missing texture maps and my support emails go unanswered. I love their stuff, but if 1/2 can't be used, what's the point?

Funny... I just downloaded a model, which was straight out of an Evermotion library; they didn't even take the time to rename things.

I uploaded a few of my models there, they marked them as "free" quality when they are more advanced vs. 1/2 of what is "pro" quality. I emailed them to ask and they said some bs. I wanted to get "pro status" or whatever because then you can download free+pro models for free every day but I lost interest since they don't have a actual list of what a free model is vs a pro model and just make it up as they go.

Great idea though, if there was a site where we could share models we have built but you had to upload a certain number of a certain quality (with actual written rules) that would be awesome. I know we have all made models that we couldn't find, to be able to share them would be great. Even without textures would probably be fine for most of us.

Good idea, Jason. Make a site; some kind of CGI Trader site. However it might be hard to police. After all, I could just upload some Evermotion that I bought. I did a gym project and they provided me with almost every exercise equipment known to man; I could just share those, if I didn't want to sleep at night.

Yea I think that is the hard part. Besides the lack of actual rules I like 3dsky although you mentioned that you downloaded some evermotion models off there, I am actually surprised that slipped through.

Too bad a few bad apples would ruin it for everyone.

A lot of the models, if not most of them, have textures from known libraries.
