Greybro - and allies, pleas dont git yer panties in a twist. Err too late for that, huh? Well - maybe English is not your first language, so I can understand that you might not know the proper definition of the term FREE. It means (in part) "without consideration, unbound, unrestricted, and without obligation". It does not just mean "no monetary payment" as you seem to think. Requiring a registration is the same as requiring a "fee". You are asking for a "something" in exchange for your item, therefore is is NOT FREE. The rest of the ranting about people who link to a front page is just a smokescreen to cover the real issue. While it is indeed annoying to have to hunt for the "free" item, at least is is still free, and qualifies as "freestuff". Posting an item in the Renderosity "freestuff" area and then requiring a registration (regardless of your motive or intent) is clearly a DECEPTION, and an abuse of the term "free". Period. If the rest of you dont mind being decieved, that is your business. If you dont mind false advertising, that is your business too. But don't start whining when you wake up one day to find that all your "freedoms" and "rights" are eroded away to meaningless tokens (like in many countries), because it is complacency like yours that causes the erosion. And it always begins with something small - even trivial, but it never stops there if someone doesn't speak up and do something about it. I have nothing against Poser City, and in fact I wish them well. However, I think they have crossed a line which will encourage even greater abuses if Renderosity does not address the issue now.
