Well when i got to it last night everything was working so slow that i decided to come back later.. As far as the freebies last night stood later never happened because i got up to all this, I can definately understand why people got upset especialy the folk who offered all the brill freebies and applaud those who pulled out in protest, I also understand why some did'nt and hung on and waited to see what rendo would do ( I guess you had faith that they would do something)  I'm glad to see Rendo has sorted it out in a way that seems fair to all I'm only sad that the ones that pulled out now arent part of what was a very exciting event and can only hope you will make your freebies available somewhere else. For those that dont have websites there's always shareCG you know ;) 
I just want to thank everyone that did offer  freebies, from what i did manage to see last night they were great !!
