Although I am sorry to see this happen, I must say I am happy to see it happen too. And, I am surprised you guys held out this long. It was a good idea with many pitfalls and unfortunately, as you pointed out, you fell into almost every pit that it created. Maybe this will send a signal to the people who have abused the site. But I seriously doubt it because I'm sure in their minds eye the did nothing wrong.
I will continue to use this site for posting my free work and samples for people to download as I have in the past. And I hope you find a way to make the revenue sharing work again. It is would be nice to see it function the way of the idea, but the site needs two things added to make that work. A review process that keeps copyright material off the site, and a rating system that means something so that items with little or no community approval and support (and with contructive criticism required for a rating) will create a way to weed out the less desirable items so that only the quality flurishes.
I hope you find a way to make it work in the future. Best of luck to you.
