Please do NOT look upon this as a setback; rather,it is a step forward. The freestuff will never die, this is an added feature not a replacement. We are NOT ALL poor Artists here. Some of us happen to be professionals, ALL of us are still learning and ALL of us are working together. Instead of looking upon this as something that is a threat to some of you, look upon it as a HOPE; a HOPE for all the wonderful folks who have all this wonderful talent here at the forums and have up to now never been able to do anything with it. I put this to you all. Instead of thinking of this as something negative, look upon it as an opportunity, for that IS exactly what it is!! An opportunity for all of us that are here to learn and improve our skills enough to finally be able to help one another by making our talents worthwhile and at the same time providing quality; whether it be the forum we all love or the material that is made available; or in what we all learn from the experience in itself. We can all gain from this if we nurture and harvest our talents and our resources and thus each and every one of you and me and this forum will benefit!! I think that is a reason to rejoice, and it is a new beginning to something that is now GOOD, getting even BETTER!!! ;-)
