i agree with the original post... I know what it is speaking about. I remember a time when BatLab had a freebie section with things that just makes some merchants here to pale in comparison. But batlab had to close this because the way the situatione volved. yes it is hard for freebies provider to spend nothing but TIME in their contribution. Webspace became a jungle... (with agressive popups, restrictiosn and stupid TOS sometimes or blatant hyppocrisy) Yes peopel complain about freebies. When i see a free package that lack something, i fill out the gap if i am able, or if the freebie still appeals me, i try to make my mind despite the lacks... I also see some freebies of very different levels but i dont shun anywone, in fact. Everyone contribute as he can. No matter how underlooked a contributor or freebie, as long as some persons find it useful, noone can deny the right to contribute. I even encourage (despite the sick context here) passive members (aka those withotu galleries or freestuff) to ever TRY out to make the communauty a bit more alive and fun. You cannot match some of the GODS of gallery ? Don't, what you cannot make with technics, just make it with humor, fun, imagination, whatever. Some are talented in something but cannot master every other things. Many professionnals or talented contributors on rosity cannot spare the time anymore to simple or cheerful or genuine work, a gap to be filled i guess... So far, i hope i'll can continue making freebies, no matter how lame they look or sound to most "poser gods" out there... As long as it just take me some of my spare time, i still have some joy making them for myself, and share them so it may please at least a handful person. Whenever i'll have to pay for giving out free things, that it will bring me problems, insults, suing or accusations, i'll stop wasting my spare time. As long as i do not loose anything but spare time, i'll keep on going...
