Summary: Downloads back to their initial free status

Some staff members suggested that we make downloads only for members, so we could lure more visitors into registering for an account. So, I thought I'd give it a trial go for a couple of days to see the response and possible problems, since I see a lot of other FM related sites that follow the same path.

A lot of visitors turned into site members, most of them have no other purpose than to download files and then leave, which is definitely something we do not want happening. It doesn't really matter to grow our members list, if those members are not willing to participate in our community by any way (either posting a comment or a new forum topic).

So, DOWNLOADS are back to their initial FREE status and they will remain as such for now at least.

There will be a new article later that will explain in detail what parts of this site and also what services and features are available to members only.
