Howdy!

It looks like you just joined, and you have only 1 post (presumably the one above asking if anything here works).

It may have changed (and please correct me if I'm in error), but we used to have a requirement that new members had to have a certain number of legitimate posts before they could download anything.

Good luck!

Maybe that isn't working either

I was gonna say, I've been here since day 1 (I think I was member #11 if I remember correctly), and it seems to be a legitimate site. Though it does have a nasty habit of making entire sections of my day disappear.

Not sure of the member number, but I got ya by about 2 weeks!

And yes, I'm not sure how, but the site does seem to make large portions of time disappear!

Has it really been almost 10 YEARS?

Sad part is, thanks to the proliferation of technology, I'm not even safe at work. It even makes portions of my workday disappear.

And that's a bad thing?

Even though that is in General information and news right above the Card models section it hasn't previously registered in my awareness or at least it's been long enough ago that I forgot it existed.
I usually come here to look at stores about the card models themselves and I guess it's that old thing where you only find what you are looking for!

So, have you posted on the Welcome desk and introduced yourself? There
are a lot of folks on here who will welcome you, and assist you in your
downloading endeavors. And, they do like to see pictures of your builds.

However, they do like to know who you are, what you build, etc.

It is a very real place, with very friendly real people, who do like to help.

I regret to inform all of the fine folks who would like to be helpful that after his/her post, the person who started this thread hasn't returned.

Maybe they'll be back and they will see that we would have helped if they would have asked for help.

Or ... maybe not. It's on them

it seems to me like this person was just out to fleece the site for all the free models they could get and then bounce
