I hear ya cobaltdream.
However, for really good threads (and this is one), they obviously turn a blind eye. I post about stuff I'm building all the time, and then they turn into freebies and we still post about them. I've also posted many threads that were freebie announcements from the first post. (Matmatic, Parmatic, The Loom, AMUCFS, Environment Sphere, Shadow Catcher, GenIBL, Orbs, etc.)
I think they know that they'd be perfect putzes if they relegated all this great discussion to the backwater called the "Freebie Forum".
I want a community forum where we exchange ideas and tons of lurkers learn from what we're saying. If they put a stop to that, or even start to hassle me about my posts, I'd probably leave.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
