STARDOCK SUPPORT

Stardock's support sucks!

All I got when I reported I couldn't log in to my account was a "read the FAQ's" message!

Also the Stardock Central Installer version 111a I downloaded is broken! When run it gives an "expected size 600,000 actual size 200,000" (numbers rounded off) error message!

So I have no installer and can't log on!

Um, it hasn't been "2 business days" yet since we received your email. (as stated in that auto response that you obviously received).  Please give us a chance to respond to your original email.

....and....just so you don't yet again fly off the handle, you can consider Karmagirl's comment as that from 'Stardock Support' [the thing that allegedly sucks], as she is your Stardock respondent....

BTW....did you actually read the 'FAQ' or is there a conscientious objection to such?...

3 POINTS:

1. It's always amazing to me that if you post a RANT because you cannot find a channel to get actual help - you get tons or replys telling you that you can't do that - that are RANTS themselves! This is hypocritical in the extreme!

2. Wake up guys and gals - this is the computer age - customer support should be almost instantaneous - like it is at 3DCommune and Coffeecup Software! If it isn't you should take your money elsewhere! (Which I intend to do!)

3. This place is screwing you all royally! You provide tons of content for free; which you and others have to pay for to receive; and then to top it off; if you want to sell your stuff; you have to pat a big fat fee to do so! You are extreme suckers!

(begin='rant')

I think you need to slow down man. This site had over 1.5 million seperate users a MONTH! To think how many of those people have to email support, that number must be in the thousands. Even if we assume 20,000, which is less than 2%, thats still alot of emails that must be reponded to. I think that they deserve at least 2 days to keep uo. Also, there has been a major server crash that they are trying to repair. Be patient! This is one of the best places on the internet to get any of this stuff so back off a little.

1. You may have a point there.

2. The more popular the software, the longer it will take the support team to answer emails.

3. You've got that completely wrong. You obviously don't understand what's going on here. And I don't get your last comment at all......

and then to top it off; if you want to sell your stuff; you have to pat a big fat fee to do so!
..... huh?

I think not. You post a rant attacking the place and the people who are our friends, then you get people defending each.

After all, I don't see anyone saying YOU suck. Hypocritical begins at home, sir, and you might expect to get as good as you give. To demand better treatment than what you dish out to others, that is where the hypocrisy starts.

You my friend have not even began to see stardock support.

Once you get your little problem straightened out look through the support news groups @ news.stardock.com

These guys will normally bend over backwards and do some contortionists stunts to help a customer who is courteous and goes to the right place to get support.

My guess is this person is long gone....presumably accessing warez and/or alternate skinning methods to right-royally mangle his Computer-Age existence that 'MUST' be instantaneously responded to.

Don't forget, folks that he is a consumer and has the sun shining out of an orifice somewhere and to heck with the 730,000 other registered site members and millions of unique casual visitors.

Clearly they/we are all blessed with magical powers and have avoided similar 'issues' from which he suffers.

The old adage 'patience is a virtue' declares to one and all that some people are clearly deficient in the virtue department...

Our records show that you successfully connected after receiving an email from [email protected].  Obviously, your issue has been resolved.

Our company is filled with people who love their job.  Why?  Because we don't believe in having them work odd hours, bad shifts, and weekends.  We do this out of respect of our employees.  If all employers were like that, this world would be a happier place.  If you want 24/7 support, please only purchase products from companies that have a SLA that states that they will do so.  Otherwise, I don't see giving a couple business days for a response as unreasonable.  If this was your ISP, or your OS, I could see needing 24/7, but (I know this is hard to believe for most skinners here) but, your computer *will* run without Object Desktop or desktop enhancements running.  So, it's not life or death waiting a couple days to get a response.
