Alisa....the latter is also the consensus with emailed comments and where I'm leaning towards at the moment. Morkonan...I'd say that pretty much covers it :) Though I wouldn't say theres a singular path, it's often a blend of choices and approaches. What I'm also finding interesting is the range of views is pretty similar. Free should be free, though it's OK to do something else as long as what you do is easily accessible to most folks. Thats it's not totally exclusive to a select few. Licensing seems to a big part of that viewpoint as well. Low level advertising also seems to be slightly acceptable as well. VP.... no probs. Indeed I was wondering how long before commercial pressures ban the meer mention of a site that uses freebies as a promotional tool. Which I think will be a big mistake as freebies kinda feel like a "creative life blood" to to the community. These are the niche items, the fan art stuff, the stuff that wouldn't sell. But without them our hobby would be beyond bland. Though whatever happens I certainly wouldn't use the way that some app developers do to promote things. Earlier today sticking photos on an android tablet, noticed some nasty hardcore videos in the root. For something secured and only used to get some live wallpaper and a card game, it was a tad unexpected. Seems when you give consent with some apps, the makers use the devices kinda like a global advertising bit-torrent client to transfer files and adverts around. Anyone with cash can buy into that and transfer what they like. Meaning you could end up with absolutely anything. So maybe we have it lucky in poserdom :)

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
