That's not exactly the "community" thing to do.

Sigh, im getting sick of having to deal with this crap.

I do not release PSD's because of the copyright issues that suddenly appear when they are released. How else am i to prove a thing is my work without the original copy? If i were to release the PSD'd for my work, i have no way of proving it is my work.

Designers who release PSD's are fully aware of this fact and decide to do it anyway. They are well within their rights to, just as i am well within my rights to NOT RELEASE PSD'S according to the RULES OF THIS FORUM.

1. I am following the rules of this forum in regards to releases. I am well within my rights to withhold PSD's if i so choose, as long as i provide requests to the community.

2. By releasing button sets at all i am contributing to the community. I am also doing so for free, and am not asking for any money from anyone. I release button sets for fun as a hobby, FOR FREE. I earn enough money in my real job without having to resort to any supposed tactics on this forum. Even if you were to offer me money for the PSD, i would still refuse.

3. If you don't like it, i really, really don't care. If you have an issue, go and ask another designer to create a set of facebook look-alikes and make sure they release the PSD. Or better yet, get a copy of Gimp or Photoshop and learn yourself, then you can release as many PSD's as you like. Either way, I DON'T CARE.

4. As mentioned in the OP, if you require additional buttons for the set, all you need to do is ask. Many people have asked for additional buttons and have gotten their result within a number of days again, FOR FREE. All of those people are happy with the result.
