I understand your frustration. The reason it is considered a "competitor" is because we host our own free-stuff here at Renderosity and feel that others who do pull people away from our site. Not everyone agrees, but that is the reason. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

From my experience running web sites, that is not the reason at all.

The real reason they don't want links here is so none of the other sites will be seen on here by the robots that sort the search engines.

If offsite links are seen on here, it would raise those sites on the search engines. Which they obviously don't want to allow anymore.

As far as I am concerned it is a pretty pathetic move. Rendo used to promote other sites thru the Ring thing. Now it does whatever it can to make sure it does nothing to help them. A complete about face if you ask me. Thousands of websites probably still have links to here on them, and yet their links from here are now removed. That will eventually make those sites fall off of the search engines.

Tell the real reason simply because not telling it doesn't work on anyone that understand why they are forbidden now, and what it will do to those sites on the search engines.

Sorry for being blunt, delete the post if you want too.
