There are several threads on the animations going on in other forums (including the Community Ideas and Forum News - may take some searching, but they are there). The problem is not a lack of ability on the part of the programmers. Apparently, because animations are so much larger than a single graphic, that Renderosity could not accomodate their own gallery at this time so the solution, until a better one could be found, was to allow the animators to post in the Free Stuff section (so that the animation stays on the animators' server and not on the Renderosity's). Personally, I like seeing them. And they are easy enough to skip if you're not interested since they are marked "Animation" under the title. It doesn't appear to me that they are clogging anything...but that's just me.
