Well, that is terrible. I'm back in the Midwest for another memorial (unrelated), and I read this news.
I appreciate this space. It's not an easy business, and I just get to play in it as a hobbyist. The fact that it exists at all, as a space where you can reliably purchase things and post the images that we do, is pretty miraculous.
It's not simple to navigate payment processing and web hosting for our brand of content... And we, the audience and the image creators, aren't the easiest bunch either.
Seeing the niche corners of the hobby, there's a wide range of sites out there where you can buy stuff for your 3D hobby. Not all of these places are trustworthy, and small stores that might be trustworthy just don't have the catalog or the audience to make the business end work. When it comes to porn, nothing is simple. You need safe space like this for the pussy and dick tools like we can buy, where content creation outside of Daz and Rendo have enough of an audience to make the time investment make any sense.
Heck, I'd buy ero's new girl just out of solidarity even if I have all of Genesis 2, 3, and 8 to play with in my Daz. Would she have been worthwhile without this site? Perhaps, I don't know, but I think the business decision would have been more difficult without something like what exists here.
Without this space, things would be harder for us all. So without knowing Andrew at all, I am appreciative of the work he's done. Edited by user Sunday, July 29, 2018 8:32:05 PM(UTC)

I feel horrible that, due to my life's own chaos, I missed this entirely.
Rest In Peace, Andrew/EhJay... Thanks for keeping us afloat...
Cripes, I've been here through 3+ owners now? Jack, (did I miss Dr. Legume, I forget his real name), Diane, Andrew... Who's at the helm now?

I do believe that between all the owners of the site, that Andrew had the greater vision for what this site could be and made every attempt to do just that.
... and most of that is a reality today..

Rest in peace Andrew.
I'm late in seeing this also, but I wanted to publicly add my note. I didn't know him personally, but he helped build an amazing site, and with it a really neat community. This is a place for art like no other. So thanks and blessing to him. And thank you to the cg and re team, for keeping it going. As a business and as a community. I know, as a noob to the community and rendering, that the community makes it worth it - the advanced members and the routinely supportive forum addicts, you all rock.
So thanks Andrew. May the heaven you've gone to be half as amazing as the heaven you helped create.

I have been posting on & off, buying the odd items & following the artists on this site since it pretty much started & is by far one of my faves that cater to the 3D pervert. Sadly I don't follow the forums enough. A big thanks to Andrew for his work & safe travels through the universe. My heart felt condolences the family & friends.

I just found out about this. My condolences to his family. I want to say that I greatly appreciate the work this man did to give artists like myself the forum to let our creativity roam free of the binds irl tends to place on us. May his legacy live on for many many years to come. I wish I had a chance to thank him in person. Ponyplay covers a wide range of activities.. but at its core there are two types of ponyplayers: Those that prance and those that pull. These are not mutually exclusive.

You were always there helping me with anything I needed. Your work will be forever appreciated and remembered. I can't believe this, I just came back after a long time away from this amazing community that you helped grow and prosper. Rest in peace Andrew, my deepest condolences to his family and friends.
