OK...I've been reading and reading these threads and debating with myself at the same time! No matter how hard I try I can't be persuaded that this will work for the best! No matter how hard I try I can't stop feeling taken advantage of under the new circumstances, especially when I dedicate almost 99% of my free time to create, upload,update & maintain FairyWoods, reply to messages, keep in touch with latest news and offer more than 350MB of downloads - all absolutely FREE! All those sacrificies seemed worthwhile for the spirit of sharing in our community and the simple thanks we were getting back sometimes, was compensation enough! But NOT anymore! Allerleiraugh is absolutely right! Why on earth should I give away the stuff I make and dedicate so many hours to, if I have to buy others' creations most of the time from now on? I'm not rich..so obviously I should be forced to sell in order to get some money and keep feeding my hobby same as I was doing so far from funstuff! I don't wish to be the laywer of the devil but I've seen stuff on the new store that I can't believe creators have decided as worthwhile to be sold!!!! So far I had never visited ALL of available items for sale, since same as aryeguetta the greek drachma is not at its best equivalent to US$...but now that I've seen most that's been available...I feel bitter, taken advantage of, a real fool! I don't feel anymore that it's worthwhile to steal time from my kids and family, sleep on keyboard way too often lately...JUST to keep this community happy and people's eyes that have started glowing green in the thought of easy profit! So I MUST hold back for a while till I see where all this is leading to....I won't relay on the ONE and ONLY shining example of TRAVELER who's been always my top contributor! Rules always have shiny exceptions! Others have proven in this forum that they don't share HIS ethic code of freebies and sales stuff side by side! As a final move of protest I'll shut down FairyWoods' download sections tonight as soon as I get home! My last hope is that TIME will prove I'm wrong though I seriously doubt it...till then, I can't help feeling that our beloved home has been invaded by opportunism!:-(((
