WOW, that was quick!
I have 3 freebie sites that I go to everyday. I went to one of them earlier and checked out the freebies and posted in the mailcall thread. Well not 20 minutes after I posted UPS showed up and I went back to the site to edit my post. I got a message saying the site is now closed. WOW, that was fast!

Re: WOW, that was quick!
"After many years of providing one of the largest free sample bulletin boards on the Internet we have decided to close the bulletin board for good. The liability of running this web site is tremendous. We have tried many methods to reduce inaccurate postings. From time to time members unknowingly posted links to companies that did not want to be listed. Some of these companies get understandably very upset because they receive requests from people for samples that have no real interest in their product. They order samples just for the sake of getting something free. This costs the companies money and aggravation. It has never been our intent to provide a means for people to carelessly ask for free samples just for the sake of getting them free. Our main objective was to provide exposure for companies looking for new and repeat customers. Sadly, some visitors abused our site and in turn this hurt our reputation with several good companies.Our advice if you are looking for free samples of a product you sincerely would like to try, is to email or write the company directly. Most companies respond favorably.

Re: WOW, that was quick!
Did YIF do the exact same thing a couple of years ago? because of members being abusive to each other? or am I thinking of another freebie site?

Yes they did. I can't believe this happened again. They seem to shut down after they start letting people do trades/coupons & such. Oh well on to hunt freebies here instead.
