My past and current freebies are at ShareCG. My future freebies will be at Living Dreams 3D. Sorry I can't post the links. I won't be posting in here again.
Thanks folks :).

LaurieA, that really sucks that Renderosity won't let anyone post external links to their freebies anymore--but thank you for letting us know where we can find yours!
IceEmpress posted Sat, 20 February 2016 at 1:39 AM
Agreed. Isn't there one other (older, small) site that you post freebies? Under a different name? (or maybe that was at Mapp's website, which I think is now defunct)
Renderosity really shot themselves in the foot by driving away their hands-down best and most generous free Poser shader freebies (this is coming from someone who doesn't even use Poser!)
They also lost Structure a few months back, one of their top freestuff providers. The weekend and Monday should be interesting as far as any freestuff uploaded by non-vendors. Anyone else notice that for the last two days suddenly the vendors are releasing a bunch of freebies? I wonder if TPtB are pressuring them behind the scenes to do so or if it is 100% their decision and their idea...
(For all interested readers, Structure's freebies are not gone-- he is known as JLK over at ShareCG)

Sounds interesting. I can probably find it through a search engine.

I just signed up, nice to have a new place to go too! LaurieA glad to see your works still around and thank you for them.

kinda glad I retired...Freestuff seems a lot less nice in than in the past while and I've noticed a drop off in quality as well over all.
Once
in a while I look around,
I see
a sound
and
try to write it down
Sometimes
they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound

I see they have a Forum there at LD3D; is that where you'll be hanging out, Laurie?

I'm sure you folks know to look in your spam folders, so I won't insult your intelligence there - but it may help others if I mention that every e-mail Living dreams have sent me so far has been put into spam by Gmail. The reason given is that it "has failed ymail.com's required tests for authentication". Looks like Yahoo are up to their old tricks again.

Same here, WandW.

Was probably something I did wrong in the backend. LOL. At any rate, all of you should be able to get in ;). Sorry about that.

Thank you for the news Laurie! I have just discover the new rules on Renderosity. It's sad to see this. But i'm happy to have removed all my freebies of here recently.
boudicca36 posted Thu, 14 April 2016 at 2:40 PM
Yeah, login worked today! Thanks :-)

Hey EnglishBob, thanks for the freebie of your site ...

I thought I had read that links were OK as long as the site you linked to didn't have a market place. It seems fair to me. BUT (there's always a but). We do seem to be losing people.
Osper posted Thu, 13 October 2016 at 10:33 PM
I forgot to add "Sorry to see you (LaurieA ) go".
quietrob posted Thu, 17 November 2016 at 3:25 AM
I do believe the new rules are what you wished. You may wish to reconsider your stance, Laurie.
