Sapphirefox- is it down for others?
Hi,
last two days I haven't been able to get access to sapphirefox's site and it appears to be down. It is pinging, but the site just keepings loading - but nothing shows up. Reset cookies for it, tried another computer - etc - but all no luck. Anyone else had any issues? Cheers GD

Re: Sapphirefox- is it down for others?
So is there anything that isn't subscriber content anymore?

Re: Sapphirefox- is it down for others?
All he seems to do is just stuff for subscribers. Outside of his original stuff that was free, everything else is paid content which isn't a way to run a site. You need to do some content that is free to encourage people to join.
That can even be like part of animation for example. And the roommates story so slowly be going free as well ... even if it is like a page a week or something as this point.

Just fyi, he has been putting the previews up for the animations for free on his page and youtube.

He/she has stopped releasing stealing from sis for free, it's paid content now, which annoys me, it's like Sapphire suckered me in. I can't afford subscriptions due to my lack of funds (unemployed).

Re: Sapphirefox- is it down for others?
Foxx has released plenty of free content, however he maintains a pretty busy release schedule and doesnt have time to make extra animations for free. Hes got a new artist that he may be hiring soon that should take the load off, as right now hes working full time just to make the content for subscribers.

Re: Sapphirefox- is it down for others?
Excuse me - I understand that people have issues with Sapphire's Paid content only approach, but that wasn't the point of this thread which was about it not working.
Please don't take over the thread and turn this into a "I want free content, and it is wrong he is charging for it". Make your own thread on that if you wish please.

And also NO ONE is saying he is wrong to charge in this topic, so please don't assert that is what is being stated. They are saying they feel that his free content is lacking, there is a difference between these two things.

Re: Sapphirefox- is it down for others?
Yeah I was honestly curious, not trying to deride Foxxy for taking whatever route he's taking. I was browsing the site after checking to see if it works, and I noticed every update I clicked was subscriber content only. In all honesty, don't really care a whole lot. Most of his animations are a little too awkward and stiff for me to get in to (no offense to anyone who likes them.)
Well except Stealing from Sis. I found the story for that one interesting, and I'm a tiny bit miffed I'd have to pay to see the rest of it. That aside, take it or leave it really.
