As I remember it (I was here from day 1 when Poser Forum moved to this software/host) and the Freestuff/Funstuff was never hosted on this site at any point. On the prior site, funstuff consisted of aproximately 20 items and you had to e-mail your item and wait about a week for it to get posted. When we were all moved over to this site, Roy Riggs had built this wonderful software, but they had already made the decision at that point to link off-site. Again, this is just how I remember it...I was there, but I wasn't privy to all the inside information at that point.
The wwweb has dun changed, agreed, but not in a way that makes things easier for this site. There is no server in the world that could handle the freestuff traffic without significantly upping the operation costs. Rendo would need to change to a subscription model to handle that type of bandwidth.
