A lot of very good points have been made about how difficult this suggestion would be to implement, but I do see Mesh Magick's point about taking a lot of time to look at many items, only a few of which one can use. Even when it's clearly marked that a commercial product other than Poser basic is required, and I find that in most cases it is, or it's incredibly obvious what the model/texture is for (like, it's pictured on Massive Mike) it takes a while for screen with a lot of pictures to load, and if one is using a 56k modem and paying for 'phone bills... you see. I'm all for Renderosity making money but I don't see why it should make money for British Telecom. Tell me if this might help? In the FreeStuff as it now is, you can search under Michael or Millie/Vickie, as well as several other categories. Suppose there was a section for 'Posette/Dork' that would basically be the same as 'Millie/Vickie' and 'Michael', but with their stuff only? As for being redirected to other people's sites, I have no problem with that at all. Not only are people offering something for free, they're often paying to host that free something, and if the creators would like you to look at their site while you're downloading their offerings, perhaps be tempted by their commercial products, cool. Plus, there's often other stuff on the site I'm interested in seeing, like galleries and sometimes even other free stuff. I can't see any reason for changing that.
