"I seem to post this once every couple of months...but if you do not like the way rosity is run (it is a buisness after all) then you can go up under member options and select the "leave" option, and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out." I agree perfectly, which is why I closed my store, my Freebies, and my gallery. OTOH, I have a nasty enough streak in me to continue scanning the Free Stuff pages and to just lurk like 90% of the member base does now. As of Tomorrow morning, I'll prolly stop posting in the forums unless absolutely necessary. So why don't I just waltz out the door? Well, my free stuff servers get about 3,000-5000 download requests per day from Renderosity. While it is unfair to screw the innocent folk using this bandwidth on no-notice (and I would feel rotten for doing it), in a month or so I am seriously considering a move to edit my .htaccess files to block all incoming HTTP requests from *.renderosity.com OTOH, I honestly like the folks involved, so I want to give plentiful warning to them out of fairness. There are about 40 people in all to send IM's to concerning this, and I really don't look forward to doing this at all. This will affect about 200-250 free stuff items, many of which are rather popular. /P
