I am in agreement with this policy and support it. Hope, I'm sorry you are under attack. Stand firm.

The only time I post freebies, I upload them here. A freebie is a freebie. I don't use freebies for commerce to get folks to see my websites. If I give something away as free, then that is what it is.

If I recall correctly, DAZ has the same policy. Click on a freebie and it comes from DAZ, not some other site.

For those who think that linking is unfair, consider the people that abuse that. I have deviantart permanently on block because I have visited too many artist galleries that had viruses. I contacted them and not sure who responded but I was told that there is no control over the dot or . subdomains. Many are honorable. It takes one jerk to ruin it for all.

I am pleased to see that Rendo is reigning in the chaos and building a community. We are here. This is our city, our town, our community. Yes, we know there are other communities out there. That's fine. This is where I choose to be as is true for many others. I might go vacation some day in another community, or maybe even do the snowbird thing and buy a time share, but home is home and there's no place like home.

Thank you, Hope, I will be more willing to visit people's websites and check them out once I know they are good, stable, honest, upright people. And the only way I can learn that is by their reputation here at Rendo.
