It's the Users own responsibility to keep his/her machine safe not Renderosity's that is what AV's Firewalls and Malware apps are for plus the experience of the User theirselves in dealing with Online nastiness, I trust myself to take care of these things way more than Renderosity or any other site so That reason doesn't hold water.

As far as advertising Freebies on FaceBook, Twitter or Google believe it or not there are many of us that will not go near those places for any reason, I do Art I go to Art Sites I don't play the Social Media BS Game, I do the Digital Art game.

I was a Moderator here for quite a while and Quit when I saw the Social Media "Revolution" coming full speed at Renderosity and it started with the "Cheerleader" type of thing and the Idea that as Staff we need to get with the Social Media mindset, That is just not going to happen not for me. There is nothing wrong with being Pumped about what you're doing and wanting others to be Pumped too but it can't or at least shouldn't be forced on others like the FaceBook, Google thing is, they are not the end all be all of Digital Art they are the Bane of it IMO. Renderosity has to face the fact they are not the ONLY Art site nor the Best, they are one of many and when one Dumps on us we will go elsewhere. I totally agree linking to other sites Marketplaces for content especially content available here is a bad thing but Freebies take nothing from nobody. It just seems to me things are getting a bit too proprietary here, other Sites exist and everyone knows it and basically being told not to acknowledge them isn't going to make them Go Away.

Remember...No matter where you go there you are
