I've noticed numerous reposts in the Poser freebie forum over the past several weeks. Most are merely updated site links or say "New Host". To me this seems more like a ploy to get users to download the objects more often. At worst, it clutters the freebie forum, makes things confusion for would be downloaders, and sucks up valuable bandwidth. Host information can be updated and reloaded in the original upload. I've done it myself numerous times. Regardless of the reason, I don't think it is appropriate to repost an item unless there has been a significant change to it - such as retexturing, etc. I may get reamed for posting this, but it has become more and more frustrating to sift through the forum looking for new items when there are so many reposts. As a side note, I want to express my appreciation to all the artists that take the time to provide us with new and refreshing freebies for Poser. They are always greatly appreciated!
