Payment aside, I still consider ShareCG a reliable and easy to use host for my freebies. I won't pull my items unless I'm asked to by the owners of the site. I know some of my items are being used which is why I made them in the first place.

Besides, there's still a PayPal donate button on all my stuff which generous people can still use if they like seeing my stuff and wish to motivate me to make more.

 

Same here, I still plan on using it as a site to host freebies, since in truth that was all that ever really interested me.  If by some quirk of fate I managed to make a enough for for a soda out of the deal great, but I never really did expect to make much from there revenue sharing concept as it was because I saw all of the, well, lets be honest, crap that some of the less scrupulous folks were uploading getting tons of hits - a sure indication that their old way of doing things going to last long at all.

If your a modeller who's interest is in the revenue aspect and you spend the time to make a high quality model, it would have to be frustrating to upload your stuff to ShareCG and get tons of downloads, and then only end up with a couple of bucks a month for your trouble because some guy uploading total garbage and spamming hundreds of sites with it is generating as many if not more hits than you are.

Nope, there entire approach was to reliant on the honesty of other people, and sadly there are always those out there willing to abuse the system to make a few extra bucks, even at the expense of honest folks.

I send a couple of suggestions to ShareCG on how they could modify there revenue sharing system and make it viable, hopefully they might be able to implement a few of the changes I suggested and get it back up and running again.

But regardless Sharecg is still my choice for a freebie server, when I feel I'm ready I'll release the stuff I want to generate revenue as commercial packages, but until then they still make a great free hosting site.
