This has probably already been answered but...
polycounter lvl 18
Where the fuck are the models?? The models page has said "back up in a few days" for like 4 months now, maybe longer.
What is going on??

Sorry, haven't been around for like...4 months.
Well, everyone knows r13 is the new guy they hired to take care of Polycount like, 3 months ago.

Simple fix, really.

most believe him to be legend, few have witnessed the majesty and lived to tell about it.
nice!
srsly Polycount isn't about running around in Q2 as Homer Simpson anymore.
He creeps and crawls in the midnight hush,
Silent as a low flow toilet flush, ...
Definetly not models last.
I recently(several months ago, and again a month ago, and again a few days ago) had to re-install Quake3/Doom3/Quake4 and don't have any models saved and fileplanet really sucks. This was THE site for models for all these games.
I am not entitled to shit though, this is the internet and I am getting all these things for free, but wtf is taking so long?? You say fuck me, well I say fuck this lol. I'm surprised anybody still comes to this site at all. There are no updates on the site about what's going on with the rebuild or whatever is going on. I've never been able to find out what's going on until now.
Thank you guys for pointing out to me the happenings going on here, now I know, so I'll keep checking back I guess.
It amazes me that these new people keep showing up and are all like WTF? www.bbriley.com

BTW I registered only 2 months after you soooooo yeah, if I'm "new" then so are you.
Mmmmm, delicious. Almost as much as the taste of their SHAME after they get brutally stomped by reality.
(Waiting for it to happen)

Of course if you where as dedicated a member as you claim to be, none of this would be news to you.
just a forum sticky would probably be enough with the link to fileplanet search page for 'q3 models'

HINT: GO SEARCH FILEPLANT DOT COM.
if models were once offered here (it was before my time) then it was a luxury, a luxury that was possible because people here allowed it. and if they take a way that luxury do they owe you anything? no, which you agreed on, but if not then why are you complaining?
point being, stop complaing, and search for the models elsewhere... or perhaps you could stick around and learn how to model yourself?

number of non-game-series-discriminate site where some hobbyist could learn how to make game (player, vehicle) models for games as a portfolio to be a professional as well as share, and skin other models in a community-based portal = 0
another cg/3d whatever blog kissing up to pro companies = +1
sites left dedicated in the player modeling hobbyist community = skincity
skincity = 99.9% of skins suitable for "good, bad & ugly" article material
custom player example for companies to encourage support for such customization in multiplayer = bad bad bad
When people start threads about a topic this often, I think it's fair to say there's a problem. Seeing as how this problem can be addressed in a few minutes, amending the models page text to better explain the situation... surely the mythical r13 could arrange that, if only he existed.
i agree with johny, that fact that you can get great advice and good critiques to improve your modeling/texturing/whatever is reason enough to go to polycount.

Than unfortunately there is no point in restoring the models database. Move on, delete that part and put up a sticky on the front page. Game over.
Last time I checked the model queue wasn't that big, but it sure had plenty of models dating back to a 2003/2004 submission date. Hmm.
cheapalert, maybe you can process any submission backlog and assemble a new database, someone can whip up a quick page to put them all on...
I think also one of the main problems is the fact that Seemd3 doesn't work in XP sp2. My only way of using it is through a slow win95 QEMU virtual machine
When was the last time anyone even visited the front page?

i forgot there was a front page until a couple of weeks ago...
Polycount has changed, as Justin pointed out and you overlooked. Polycount isn't about running around in Q2 as Homer Simpson any more. I'll say it again since you seem to be hard of reading....

This makes me so sad. I wish it waslike that, still. I used to spend afternoonds loading peoples models into Quake2, Quake3, UT 2k3 and 2K4 just to see how they did things. I miss the models. and I have ben aroujnd since this was Q2PMP.

I wasn't around for Q2PMP but I miss the models as well, Scott
At some point you have to look at what is rolling in and ask yourself do we really want that to be the face of polycount? Granted the new layout isn't much better but I skip to the forums anyway hahaha... oh well... its under construction.
