Hi Everyone I am please to let you all know that we have heard you, and we realize it was a mistake to take away the links to Freebies and other sites. We apologize for the upset this has caused you all.

Part of our previous reasoning was to protect you from accidentally opening harmful files or being led to sites that require you to sign up for access, causing potential harm there as well. The other part was in hopes more people would upload their art here and others would come here to view it. Instead, it drove members away.

We hope you all start posting and sharing more. We look forward to seeing your art and more activity around the Community.

This is a Community and I would like it to be as strong and supportive as it can possibly be.

Here is what is allowed:

*Links to tutorials on Youtube and tutorials on other sites in the forums.

*Sharing things going on in the 3D world in our Industry News forum. This consists of software releases, contests, software that went on sale, etc.

*Links in your signature that go to your personal site as long as the site DOES NOT have a Marketplace.

*Links from your Freestuff products as long as they DO NOT go toa competitive Marketplace. (Daz, CGTrader, etc.)

*If someone wants to know where to find a certain product we do not have and you know where to find it, you may provide a link to it. However, if we do sell it here or the link goes to something else other than the product, it will be deleted.

Here is what IS NOT allowed:

*Any links that take you to a competing Marketplace (Daz,CGTrader, etc.)

*Anything that appears to be an advertisement

*Anything that may have the potential to harm someone's system

*Any links that take you to anything that would need a content advisory on our site

Thank you all very much and if you have any questions, please let me know.

As always, I am here and listening.

Well done. Thank you for taking note of the objections and acting on them.

You are very welcome...thank you for being a valued member of Renderosity

It would be more "commercial" to add a comment stating where that item can be found on Renderosity. Add a substantial discount coupon.as an incentive.

Only delete if the link does not lead to the wanted item.

After the uproar this policy caused, I would hope more would come in to say, "Way to listen."

Way to listen. Thank you for changing the policy to something more open.

You all are very welcome quietrob.

This is something I wanted to do since I have come back into the Community however I spent quite a bit of time working on technical problem with the programmer for a little while.

I am sorry it took me so long. I hope you all know just how much I love and care about the Community. It is so good to be back where I feel I belong

I hope your return and the changes of the TOS helps more people return. I am used to stopping in the forums everyday but the revolt was swift. I think people will return just give them a little time.

In the meantime, welcome back!!

Thank you very much

I have slowly seen people start to come back to the Community which definitely makes my heart smile

As a contributor to the Free Section, I thank you for this acion
