This site started off as a way for folks to modify some great games. Well, that is good and fine. It still is that, but I don't think it is right to take content that started off as freeware and holding it hostage from the folks who can't afford it.

im not sure what you are talking about here
the only restrictions I am aware of is they packaged some large groups of mods into single downloads and restricted that to members who donate but the same mods are available for free you just have to take longer to download them one at a time is all.
everything on this site is completely free, they just made downloading some large mod packages such as "sober's sh5 mod list" easier for contributing members by having a single one download package for it.
as bubblehead1980 mentioned, the website needs donations to survive so the bonus section was created to offer something extra in the form of "ease of downloading" popular mod groups as an added extra thank you to those who help this site stay in operation so it can exist at all.
neal understands that not everyone is willing to donate so its strictly done as an extra reward for those who can help out. everything in the bonus section is put there as an extra bonus for members who donate but all they are getting as a bonus is convenience so they aren't getting anything everyone else doesn't have the same ability to get for free with a little extra time and effort needed.
