From my experience, if the link is one that asks or gives you an opportunity to "join" or "register" at that site....it is a no, no. I love free patterns, so I guess we should resort to PMing each other with the links. If this answer causes this question to be deleted again, I apologise. It makes no sense whatsoever.
From the Rules for this Forum:
- Do not post links promoting any "signup" pages, newsletters, lists, message boards, sweepstakes, giveaways, contests, voting pages, etc. That includes any sites that are meant to collect "signups" or personal data for any purpose.
