Judging by the recent posts I'd say a lot of you have trouble READING....lol. What is the point of offering a freebie that depends on another product if the product it depends on is no longer around? Those that laughed at that are exremely immature and would make very poor merchants. If, for example, you do a texture for JoeBloggs Super Sexy Babe and the Super Sexy Babe character gets pulled then your texture DOES get rendered useless unless you spend the extra time and effort to contact the person and ask permission to host it with your texture...I don't think that is unreasonable, I think it's common sense. And incidently every reputable 3D site I've been to does pull posted items if they are considered to have broken links in any way or form....so saying you'll go somewhere else is pointless as that somewhere else will just do the same thing when someone complains about the broken link you didn't bother to fix...lol. Most Freebies are to display potential products by someone who may be considering to be a merchant and make some money....it is VERY BAD CUSTOMER RELATIONS to say you can not be arsed to fix a problem because you are sick of the public whining - if all the major companies out there did that then they wouldn't have got where they are today. Public relations/customer service is paramount to any product Free or otherwise and getting on a high horse over your product will just drive people away, if that's what you want why bother in the first place?...lol.
