Free Models......that normally gets the attention of any world owner. So how
many have visited the world Freebies? And of those, how many have downloaded
models? While you were there, did you see the sign that mentioned ever so
discreetly that IF you ever felt you could or wanted to help maintain the
world you could send money via PayPal to help support it? And of those who
did, who all has sent assistance?
I have no idea how many have visited, nor how many downloads have taken
place since the creation of Freebies, but I DO know how many have
volunteered to help.
Count Dracula doesn't have to provide this service. But he does. He does
all the web searching. He does all the converting if necessary. He does all
the uploading, using his path. That is HIS privately owned world. He is just
kind and generous enough to let us in!
Recently more and more modelers have contributed models to be displayed in
Freebies. But they don't go unrewarded. Their name is displayed as is a sign
that leads to their website and a teleport to their showcase world. I think
that is also called "free" advertising.
So who is supporting all of this? The world owner.
I've seen a lot of caring and charitable things take place as a result of
NG discussion. I'd like to see another. There is no way I could pay for all
I've taken from Freebies, but I can send a few dollars. And if everyone who
takes from there sent even a portion of the probable cost of just one model,
it would add up fast! So I am challenging everyone who has ever taken a
model from Freebies world to send a contribution to dracula at netsonic.fi .
Whether $2 or $20 does not matter. This world is up for renewal within days.
Although CD would never ask, and would renew anyway if at all possible,
please help keep Freebies there for all of us for years to come and say
Thanks, CD !! :)

Very well stated. I know that in the (somewhat) earlier days of Freebies I
couldn't choose from the models and wanted them all since they appeared so
much better than typical objects - so CD had compiled most of them into one
big zip. I'm sure there's a lot more stuff there now and it'll always be a
great resource if it's kept open. I think I'll donate some. Thanks for the
info, shalimar.
