All of Cookie's models are removed, INCLUDING THE DRACOLICH
Cookie removed his models ages ago. He doesn't like people who, strait quote from him
1-Hated it because upload system (still hate it). You have to take down the existing model entry, recreate the upload , add info again etc. The forum was a better place to upload as it was in a more controllable environment.
2-Too lightly administration (People snatching stuff that republicola and me released and put it under their name, claiming its their work, and people actually believe it as well ..yes it was the Ninja model...and like after 6 months action was taken?). IMO this was the biggest thing that caused me to leave. People are too naïve to believe things as they are posted, without wondering where and how. Other example was the cannon (thoug they are old , it was mainly about the idea)
3-Too lightly with the ratings. Ratings should be removed IMO. Having people rate simple things 5 and complex things a 5 as well is just out of proportion and depressing for someone who put time and effort with it, while another guy just shamelessly uses vex animation transfer proggy and churn a non optimised geomerge without even skin alteration or optimisation. Also related to the floodwaves of easy geomerging without any effort of optimising or skin alteration.
4-The comments section under the downloads was 95% useless, which had no real contribution to the model improvements and bug reports (havent changed as it seems). Like "OMGZ it suckz, you suck" or like "omg how you do that what tools etc?" or "how do I IMPORT THE ThiGNG HELP!". Or like, giving comments about something they have barely tested it and just assuming it is done in the same way as others.
Well, he started to repost some models. He might reupload the NWN models that you all love, he might not. Just don't bug him to death about them
EDIT: Reposting them on the site will get you an instant banning
I think its because he doesnt want people skinning his models (there are a few in the skin section) because they arent good enough for him or something....

That's a peculiar personality flaw, I think. If you're as good as Cookie, you should overlook the fact that those skins suck, and rather ackowledge the fact that people (apparently) like his models so much.
he has deleted them already a few weeks ago, i don't know why. i like his models, they are all 5/5. fortunately, i downloaded all before he deleted them
Demon Spider, Goblin Blaster, Goblin Blitzer, Goblin Chemblaster, NWN Beholder, Fire Beetle, Dwarven General, Dracolich, Green Dragon, Iron Golem with Holy Blade, Ice Troll Priest, etc.
"Oh waaaah people are submitting low quality stuff and getting it posted next to my work so I'm leaving waaah!"
Good riddance to his sorry *** and his elitest attitude, then....
Besides, some of those models were ripped from Neverwinter Nights....so what if someone else rips them from that game...then can they be reposted...? Or are ripped models now trademarked to the people who originally ripped them for some reason? -VGsatomi
god thats a bad reason to remove models, i rather liked his models (my fav was the Demon Spider). I use that one alot but i didnt dl all his models wish i had...
the demon spider was his best, and is actually a NWN- no its not. its a D&D creature called the bebilith, a demonic spider from the 14th (i think) level of the abyss. it tears though armor with a special mucus that is secreted from its mouth onto its forearms. Dont you just HATE D&D chicks?
Its a creature from NWN, which is actualy a computer DnD game. Demon Spider
And he left because of the quality control that was around back when he left. IE: I wasn't moderator, so there was no control. You can still find his stuff at the Hubb if you want
Sorry to hear that, but he should have known that many noobs dunno what is a good skin and what isnt. In my opinion, a good skin is something that looks good and has a use for many people(thats why I find Wormskull greatly misplaced, who is more of an expert commentator and can sometimes go wild on useable skins).
Its bad to hear stuff like that, but besides, if I need a model or skin, I know other ways to go. This aint the only site and I know some skinners and modelers pretty well!
Send me pms if you want me to keep my Barney skin up on the site. If I get less than three, I will remove it in honor of Cookie.
But I agree,VGsatomi, those models will allways be marked as trademarks of Cookie, and therefore will be deleted of people knowing this. Too bad.
