[quote name='fatboyjam']Can I go one further and propose some standards on valuable free content? This used to be a great thread, but it's been cluttered with weak free postings for quite some time.
It used to be that you post:
- free themes (premium-only, not static)
- DLC
- Games
- Avatar items
...and that's it.
No gamer pics (especially advertisements...does anybody really get excited about a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich gamerpic just because it's free?)
Is there any interest in setting and holding to something like this? Or has "valuable free content" become so rare that advertising themes and gamerpics is all we have left to fuss about?[/QUOTE]
It might not be valuable to you, but someone else might appreciate it. People like gamer pics.
Free premium themes and avatar items are rare, so this thread would be quite slow if we only posted those items.
The only things I think that should not be posted here are trailers or demos. Those are always free.
Sure many of the free themes are advertisement based, but some people might like the things that are being advertised. They also don't usually last long, so it's nice to have the heads up to download certain themes before they are gone. Plus some themes are only available in certain countries, so it's nice to know about these other free themes or gamer pics that might not be available in our own region.
I know there have been a few movie based themes that were UK only and they were American movies too. The US had some free Doctor Who standard theme and gamer pics that were quite popular. It wasn't available in other regions.
