ShareCG has been touted as an alternative to hosting at Renderosity (BTW, no one said you had to host your freestuff here to post it in the Freestuff Forum). Let me see if I have this right.
ShareCG is largely a host, but they do have forums, so they are somewhat community minded. Also, kudos to them for having a Poser only section on their freestuff.
On the main listing page, there are 7 ads. One of them is a flash ad, another is a video, and then there is a Google ad listing, with several advertisements.
On the actual download page, there are 8 ads. Again, a flash ad, and two Google ad listings with several advertisements.
The download button is at the bottom. Sometimes, you can't see the download button/link because it's below a huge image showing you what you're downloading (which is awesome, IMHO)
There's an FAQ, but not a TOS, so I can't see whether or not they disallow off-site linking in the description area, which many make use of to advertise their products elsewhere, and even add donation buttons to solicit donations.
With me so far?
The only difference I'm seeing is ONE popup window. One.
So, please tell me what the difference is?
Took me 5 clicks and a scroll to the bottom to get a freebie earlier when I tried it myself.
