To anyone who is new to this site: PLease read my first post in this thread again. It's not that I don't enjoy interacting with folks. I would just rather that people ask their questions in an open forum, where everyone can have the benefit of the answer.
If it's a general PM (Are you doing XYZ? When will ___ be released?-question, I will probably just delete it.

Randy,
I do understand being busy and all, but if you responded more to the Questions Thread you may not get as many PMs. I've seen the same questions from many different members over and over go unanswered. There's really no sense in having a "Ask Randy a Question" thread if it's hardly ever responded to.
I'm not upset or being mean, but what I'm saying makes perfect sense.

I think any answers we get are "bonuses." Can't realistically expect a business owner/creative director to answer ALL of the questions the forum members ask. Plus, there may be other reasons Bowen Designs doesn't want to reveal all answers to all questions..

This isn't Randy's website, he stops by to give us sneaks and answer some questions when he gets the chance. I think you need to remember that whatever input Randy does give us on this site is as a courtesy and at his own leisure. Don't mistake Randy's participation as anything other than what it is, a courtesy. If people think the way you do, that he's not doing his "job" by answering our questions on the Q & A thread......you need to step back and realize we're lucky to get the type of participation by Randy to begin with. I'm sure if it becomes a problem that Randy would stop it all together. Don't presume we are owed anything more than what we get.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm not trying to trash anyone here, but it's a little ridiculous that was even posted. I don't think some people think before they start issuing, what seems to be, "demands." The man runs a company, sculpts, etc..... not to mention he has his own life. To think that he needs to answer questions more often from SM members is a little goofy.

You seem to be upset that Randy hasn't answered some specific question of yours. I would think that he hasn't answered you simply because he doesn't have an answer to your question. I'm sure that if you are asking for a specific character, he has noted it and if it fits into his plans, he will get to it and then you will hear some news. In the meantime, there is a Phase 5 thread that you are welcome to list your character wants.
Aside from the fact that Mr. Bowen has no obligation to answer any questions here (and yet he's gracious enough to do so regularly), you'd have to be pretty darned dense to continue PM'ing him after he's asked you repeatedly not to. If this continues Randy should post the names of the offenders so we can give these inconsiderate idiots a proper beat-down on the forum.
Stop bugging the guy for god's sake! Even the few seconds it takes to delete your stupid PM is time taken away from Randy doing what he does best and I want my statues and busts made!!!

I'm right with you on that, the more he does the more chance I have of BD getting around to a new Cyclops FS for me

Okay, okay, everyone simmer down. I'm not trashing the guy, it was just my prespective of why he's receiving so many PMs. Please don't put a HIT out on me.
