Weeks ago i been posting about Wpthemesfree.com add a linkback to their site and after visiting one of my favourite blog WPthemesplugin and notice than WPthemesfree currently will not be linking their site in the footer. This is a great and wonderful news for me and also for all theme developer.
Personally the site has given much downloads line for themes developer and myself and appreciate their effort on removing the extra links to the footer of the submit themes. Goback to my previous review on the site i personally love what they’re doing there. The site strucutre are great and organized. Below are an excerpt email taken from wpthemesplugin:
I have read the comments on your post your readers should know this project
is not for money. Countless firms want to put a sponsor link on our main site under the property links but we are always refusing again and again. As mentioned this project is not for money. But if the site pushes our simple server too much we can think of adding at least an adsense on the site to upgrade a powerful server which can handle the traffic.
Laura Simmons (wpthemesfree speaker) have been taking some drastic changes in their site development and i do think their site will get a lot of traffic and definately will push their server so an advertisment placement are one way to support their site. I agreed with Laura on that part since theme site definately will getting larger and larger and like theme.wordpress.net maintain by undersigned, they are getting more and more visitors from time to time…so you can really guess how much work to run a theme portal or theme submit/community site..
In the future they will also added a choice function in their submit form. Uploaders can either check or uncheck for implementing of wpthemesfree.com link in the footer so this give an uploaders more choice in their submission. Another great move in their development measure. Surely this will be an option that all uploaders hope for. I myself will be visiting the site from time to time to preview some great theme..some of them are not seen before..maybe it was submitted by a theme developers or designers that did not have an upload right in themes.wordpress.net so they decided to promote their theme and design at wpthemesfree instead. Sure hope they can approved my uploads next time i upload at wpthemesfree…lol
So what’re you waiting? you looking for a specific theme..don’t worry wpthemesfree got tons of selection from the category tag you can choose and browse from..don’t believe me..you can check out their site at Wpthemesfree
Well, it sounds like good news, but I had to force them to remove all my themes. Reason: I strictly don’t allow ANY other footer links in my themes (especially no sponsored ones), so why I should allow links to a portal site? From my view, it’s unacceptable to act like they did, adding links without explicit warning.
thanks for stopping by milo
yes..they took off couple of uploads that do not have permission
by original author…that’s lead them to change their policy on theme
submit..
i saw couple of your design there early in their development and glad they remove your theme already
hope they can be careful when handling an uploads in the future..
ps
i saw you beer theme custom design the other day in css gala..it was awesome..it is green coloured if i remembered it correctly.
The UBQ layout is a client’s work, I’m happy to be featured in almost all CSS Galleries, either with my own sites or client’s work. Cheers.
PS: you do create some good stuff for WP. =)

I just got my own USB rocket launcher
Awsome thing.
Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters – which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace.
