I got notified via e-mail about Craftsy by 3 of the designers who were getting purged. Luckily I was able to download all my patterns. Craftsy told the designers because the patterns were free they (Craftsy) were not responsible to notify us and we have no recourse because they were free. The patterns and classes we bought will remain and we will have unlimited lifetime use of them. We shall see, sorry to say but I have my doubts about that. The Craftsy website was probably overwhelmed with all of us trying to download. I got mine all downloaded but it did run slowly and crashed twice.
