I fully support this petition. 

As I am migrating my freebies to be hosted on my store's server over on Poser Addicts 2, I find it highly annoying that the current Rendo freebie policy does not allow me to properly update my links OR add new ones to fresher work.  This inconveniences my fans and doesn't make them look at Rendo all that kindly.

**While I don't mind having advertising on my freebies pages, I DO want some control over which products MY work is supporting. ** The last thing I want to be associated with is sleazy Vickywear or Vicky characters that look like oversexualized jailbait.

While I think it's very cool that Rendo hosts freebie files, I prefer to be able to choose where they are being hosted.  While linking to my files from Rendo increases my exposure, it also increases traffic to Rendo and boosts Rendo's sales from my fans.  I don't have to do this.  I get a great deal more exposure from Share CG and Daz.  Since this policy has been instated, I have not uploaded a single freebie to Rendo and have, in fact, been removing my links from Rendo.  That's bad for YOUR business.  Not mine.

Food for thought.

You're not doing yourselves any favors.
