Content generates traffic. Ideally traffic should generate revenue. I'm sorry it's not working for shareCG.

There's no free lunch. If you want people to hit your site, there has to be content. You can either pay for the content, or convince those creating it that the server space and bandwidth is payment enough. Maybe you can even convince them to pay for that too. Probably not, though, since there are still plenty of "free" options including Renderosity, which could well become the one stop shop for Poser freebies.

This has nothing to do with an expectation of free space. It has to do with the reality of free space and the fact that freebies are valued by some sites and not by others.

As for ego strokes or lack thereof earned by distributing your freebies, mileage may vary. I just don't like a rating system that people can game or troll with.
