Hi everyone-

While I know some of you won't agree with this new freestuff policy, I still wanted to take a minute to explain:

Firstly, we amre protecting you against any malicious or spammy links that members post. It is OUR responsibility that you don't get a virus somehow on your computer. So, that's one reason.

Another is, we had instated this policy a little while back, but it was not followed through. And, so - as a team - we decided to bring this rule back because it's unfair to link to other sites. We are a free community and sharing freebies with each other from OUR site with other members is what we're all about!

If you ARE interested in promoting your website, there are tons of ways to do it. You could use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest amongst others. Google would be a GREAT tool to use. "I" have a blog and can help you - if you want to know more about promotion! You can even buy Google adwords and you could also joing our affiliate program, which is here. Please do let us know if you're interested. We'd be MORE THAN happy to help you out !

I know you may see it as 'taking away from the community,' but by linking your freebies in the forums, we're actually becoming more of a community because we're working together to show off what we've done on Renderosity.

And, as I had mentioned, we can start having challenges and contests in the Freestuff forum to make it active again! We can be a closer knit community and that's all I truly want. You may say as you'd like and can post your opinion, but just know, this is a step forward.

Thank you so much and let us know if you have any questions.
