Okay, at the risk of being the baddie here... Just because something's for free doesn't mean it's good. Yeah, in the main, we have some amazingly talented folk out there giving away things that are far superior to stuff in the MP, and I'm really grateful for that. But if they're offering something that has a problem, we're doing them a disservice to just smile and say thank you and let them think everything's just fine. Look at the example from just a couple of months ago, when a guy had a site up that had a prop shelf available. The link didn't lead to the prop in question but a web page from his site server asking you to join. The poor schmuck got seriously whacked in the forum here -- and maybe a little too hard, but it was something that needed to be said. It got fixed, and now he doesn't make that kind of error anymore, which is a good thing, right? Well, if we can complain about that kind of mistake, I don't understand why it's not okay to complain when a MAT file is improperly set up or one of the requred objects comes from a web site that's disappeared and whose member can't be found anymore. Yeah, it can be done nicely so no one gets offended, and ultimately it helps the contributor learn a little more about what's involved in doing this properly. >>An example is SergeMarck's fine dresses... why should a free-stuff provider be prohibited from offering a texture because a newbie who acquired Poser last month can't get the dress without asking him? Sounds nice in concept, Carolly, but look at it from Serge's side. Someone uploads a dress texture for something like the 1900 Day Dress that Serge no longer has available. Look at the number of downloads things get in freestuff and tell me Serge is gonna want to deal with 500 individual email requests for that dress. It's just something worth considering when you put something up like that.
