So it begins... Or something slightly less dramatic

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Well, with this update on my site, I've switched to a mesh-included policy for all of my downloads (yes, the creators still get credit and links and all that). This includes meshes with TOSes that say "DON'T!" and paysite meshes. All the constant site going up and down thing and people pulling their shit or making it pay pissed me off, and the fact that it was getting too hard for downloaders to get to the meshes they needed prompted me to just go ahead with it.

It's a good thing. It would be even better if more sites would adopt a policy similar to this one >.>

ahem *hint hint* Smiley

You're brave Smiley  I've thought about doing that, but I have always been too scared.  Ti's not a bad idea, downloaders really don't have any loyalties.  The popularity of PMBD is proof of that.

It's an awesome thing to do.  Recolors are often the only thing that make pay meshes usable, but not including the meshes just encourages people to pay for them.

As a creator, I'd love to see this happen.  I don't have my own site and there are some pay meshes that I'd like to recolor, but I really doubt any of the sites I could submit to would let me include them.

Fanbloodytastic.  I am totally over the moon.

I hope you set a precedent with this action, and more follow.

The end of the great mesh hunt is nigh.

Thanks, liegenschonheit. I think this is a wonderful idea. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing an oustanding recolor, only to find out you need a mesh from a paysite or a site that is gone.

Great site, btw. I love your cosmetics!

I like this idea. Playing Hunt the Mesh (pay or not) has always really annoyed me.

Especially when a link is only given to the front page of a (messy/large) site and then it's headscratching time as to where to look. (been through that a couple of times in the last couple of days alone.)

I give a thumbs up!

I really like the concept. I was going to do something similar, but of course, chickened out. I think I might actually do it now...
