While I wasn't actually active in last few years, this site is still up and running and my files are available for everyone and totally free.
I see collections sharing as a very harmful practice. And by offering or downloading them, you show nothing, but outright disrespect of our hard work.
So, from now on, I forbid to include any of my creations to these collections or furnished lots downloads. Instead, please, direct people to this site.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for sharing, especially when it comes to lost or unavailable stuff from long gone sites. But don't do this to us, active creators. Actually it's not many of us left.
I don't think you will stop people from sharing. After all, even with all your hard work, what the heck will they ever be used for if not a game OWNED BY SOMEONE ELSE. You can never profit off your work, only off the distribution costs of sharing your work. People who make things for this game and then think they can share those things with caveats are naive. This game is not yours. I have made things and have never shared them. But, maybe one day I will open a website and share them. When I do that - they are no longer just mine. I've shared them. For a game which is not my property.
