Quote - Does this change in policy mean that the current freebies hosted on outside servers will be dropped from the free stuff listings?

It would have been nice if Renderosity had simply provided the option of hosting freebies on their server. I mean really, what harm is there in retaining a list of freebies that includes items from elsewhere? It seems that the more full your list of free stuff is, the better your site will seem.

No, not from what I read and understand. It's any freebies uploaded from now on that have to be hosted on Renderosity's server.  Those already uploaded stay as they are.

They state:

Quote - Have you previously uploaded products into the Free Stuff section? Then your items will still be available. You can still make edits and changes to your product details. However, any change you make to the product itself will require you to reupload the file directly to Renderosity for hosting

So unless you make changes to the item and need to reupload it, you are ok.  However if you change something and reupload it, you will have to do it using Renderosity's server.

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
