    Heavens to Murgatroyd, this thread is four years old! At that first post I was months away from becoming a Published Artist, and we were still allowed to link and advertise Renderosity products from the forum! Still and all, though, I still use those old freebies in promos occasionally. They update well to Iray for the most part and the old book, the guns, the swords would be great quickie props for people new to rendering and trying to learn on a budget before they graduate to more detailed items.

    And there is a post, on the previous page, by Questor himself explaining that he didn't want any of his old stuff to be ressurected, and why.

    These old threads should be autolocked after a certain amount of time so that they can be read and referenced but not dredged back up to cause problems for the infinite future.

    Nooooooooooo! For every feature they add (like autolock) something else on the forums goes wonky... No, please... Its like a stack of dead armadillos, you can't mess with it for fear of the whole thing crashing down... And who wants dead armadillos all over the place?

    Indeed.  Not to mention that it's not a bad thing for old posts to pop up again.  There's a lot of great info buried in the forums and it's a lot more efficient for folks to ressurect dead threads than to start the same basic threads up over and over again, rehashing the same info but never adding anything new.

    depends on the thread, there are a few I occasionally ressurect that if were locked you'd hear the screaming across the internet, would be just yet another form of unneeded censorship.

    The not posting commercial links for things not available in DAZ store like animal animations for DAZ products, showing tasteful Artistic nudity and other stuff bad enough.

    ..I have a fair number of the old freebies as I made backups of them.  Unfortunately some of the files were corrupted which sadly include The Creeper.

    I am not a fan of auto-locking old threads. However, this thread does seem to be serving only to confuse newcomers and since it's drifting OT anyway it is going to be manually locked.
