Try as I may I'm still not getting this "too irritating to use" thing.

Traditionally I don't see much point in defending Renderosity for any of their decisions, because as a long time member here, I've seen a whole lot of what I would consider to be really annoying and strange decisions. And all you other long-timers know exactly the type of things I'm talking about.

But then again, over the years they've also added a whole lot of really cool features and improved the site considerably, to  give credit where credit is due.
I've ragged on Renderosity too many times to count, sometimes legitimately, sometimes just for the hell of it, to be honest. ;-)

But I'm really not getting this. I just downloaded 5 random things from the Free Stuff What's New page and it took virtually no time. Click on the thing, scroll down, click again, click on the final pop-up, done. Well I canceled the downloads because I didn't want any of the stuff, but that makes no difference.

If it's the ads, like I mentioned before, Adblock Plus removes them all, or can be tailored easily enough to not remove everything from the site and can also be turned on or off for those times one may want to see the ads.
But if it's a question of convenience, or how long it takes to get one's grubby little paws on some new free thing, I just can't see it being worth complaining about.

Makes me feel kinda bad, not wanting to be on the anti-Renderosity side for a change. Feels kinda weird, really. I'm trying to be pissed off, but it's just not happening.  ;-)
