These two threads have to do with Francemi's decision.

To understand the latter, one needs to know of the first. Unfortunately its first post has been altered, but basicly it was about a club where every member was to contribute a freebie every month.

The original thread about the club.

The thread with the outcome.

I don't know about the other 'leechers', but for me it took a while to convince myself that most freebie makers want anyone who enjoys their work to have and use them. Of course, I also prefer to buy from those who give freebies, both because I can be sure they do quality work and because their generosity is truly appreciated.
