I do not wish to reignite an opinion that was caused several threads to be locked because they became unruly and for the most part inflamed the community in a non productive way. I empathize and accept many of your points of views. The rule change which was talked about and many views were expressed but it was the final decision of management to put the rule in place. Has contributions to the free area dropped of some perhaps but it has also been picking back up as well. I ma happy to see some excellent tutorials and and items being uploaded to the free stuff area. Even with the rule change we still come across some who have tried to circumvent the rules with including links to site that are either commercial, phishing and to sites that are above and beyond against the TOS of any rational site. You may not agree with the current rule but it is place for numerous reasons but largely it is in place to protect our community.
