Quote - I don't really understand what the reference to "September" is all about.

September is a traditional time when bad things happen to the internet -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

Renderosity has in many previous years, entertained us with various things at around this time (known in RFI parlance as the "Annual barbecue and foot shoot").

So this year's offering is a completely out of the blue about face on the where freebies are to be hosted.
My prediction is that still to come is a policy change on the acceptability of "more controversial" freebies, e.g. anything that may upset PayPal.
