Mickma, things have changed since the start of this thread.

The final ruling after their meeting today is that the only thing changing is where Freebie Creators can post  links to their  freebie offers.

The merchant's have a Product Showcase Forum to post links to their commercial items. They also have a Wishlist Forum where they can go and see if there are any request for MP items.

The Freebie Forum will do the same thing, only for the Freebie Creator. It will combine into one forum, what the merchants have 2 forums for.

The rest of us can still post free and commercial links in the other forums in order to help each other out.

Freebie creator giving away their latest model ...... posts it in the Freebie Forum

Person looking for a FREE pair of shoes for Aiko ..... posts in the Freebie Forum

Anyone finding a link to freebies, like I tend to do ..... still can post in Poser forum.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
