I too am sorry that people have had to find it necessary to remove their templates. I have never really got to grips with designing templates, but like most people have downloaded some templates for personal use (usually when I am about to miss someones birthday !!). however my 14 year old daughter was using some of the designs to work out how to make her own creations, so will be very upset when most of the templates have dissappeared.
Until she has mastered the robo I would also be prepared to pay a nominal fee for downloads, if someone can work out a way to keep thieves out of the system.
P.S. Don't you dread it being someone you know !! - although I only have one friend with a robo and don't even know if she is a member, it makes you think.
