And just to note our Freestuff area is where vendors put freebies they create specially to be freebies and that is promoted that way when it's in our freestuff section as that is what that area is for.  If you search through the freestuff area you will see a lot of vendor put freebies there and there is no checkout process, it's a free download area of the site

You mentioned in your original post Renderosity does not "host the freestuff" items, yes we do host them. Members might upload them to different sites but we do host the files.

The marketplace is just that, the marketplace so it's a place for items "for sale" so the items that are Zero priced there are not "freebies" and not advertised that way.
