Compiler: I think it just seems we're getting less Free Stuff uploads because of the delay in verifying that the free upload is indeed an upload and not an underhanded way of advertising a site, or railroading a user into one of those Opt-Out programs employed by spammers and the less scrupulous online advertisers and retailers. I've run into this situation myself with one or two links from Free Stuff where I've been re-directed to a site which attempted to install spyware on my system. I recall one link tried to install the Xupiter toolbar browser hijacker, another tried to install Gator's ad/spyware package. Luckily I have applications on my system to prevent that sort of thing. It only took a few rotten apples to spoil the whole barrel. Now Renderosity has to keep an eye on its freebies. :-( Nuke
