Was PitKlad yet another victim of SL piracy ??
IIRC, a *significant* number of
Poser prop & clothing artists have reluctantly removed their freebies and 'budget' content after discovering those had been converted to SL format and sold without authority or attribution...
Can't exactly rumble into SL with a 'WOT' Super-BOLO and serve a 'class action'...
;-(

Um, another member, a 'Classics' P4F artist who'd posted freebie links here, has pulled their stuff from SCG. Though the items still show on R**y, they all linked back to SCG. Google could not find their thumbnails or titles on the wwweb, so I must assume they're archived off-line or simply lost...
FWIW, there's been a LOT of the site deaths lately, as domains aren't renewed. A different problem may be archival storage. A decade ago, I lost most of my CAD
WIP & archive to a batch of bad HDDs plus an electrical storm short-cycling power. A slide-mounted E: drive survived, either due a different brand or its very-low 'hourage'.
I've mentioned else-where about finding a cache of '3DWorld' cover disks laden with
Poser freebies. They 'read' okay. Sadly, a 'budget' compilation of Baument / Baumgarten freebies (*) was less fortunate. Either Win'8 cannot read the old format or that blue CD-W has 'oxidised', despite being kept in a case in the dark...

*) Yes, I bought a disk of freebies. In those 'dial-up' days, routers and site-servers ran exceedingly slowly, and down-loads often failed part-way through...
