OK - I got what I perceive as a most short and ugly message from vB.org Administrator davidw.... Now - I take a few moments out of my day (just being generous I thought) to upload a couple avatar packs: Glamour Avatars & Artistic Avatars - both of which contain images that can freely be attained from the internet on most all avatar websites...

I've just had vB Coordinator Marco post a very simple message in my Artistic Avatars thread: Is this your original work? --- nothing more just that one brief sentence as if it's a prequel to ugh....

I comment:
WhY? Are you gonna continue to go around deleting my damn threads?
No it is not my original work - but I would say each of the images in those packs are readily available on the internet - I would think they're not subject to any copyright. The Glamour avatar thread I posted earlier (just being generous and wanting to share) is not subject to any copyright either. It got deleted and none of you vB.org Admins even gave notice = THAT SUCKS!

I would think that you'd be more amiable to Members who are taking time out of their lives to be as generous as to share a pack of avatars.

That's it - just wanted to post my opinion on this matter. I've been a Member of vB.org for over 1 year now - and have never until this time posted/shared neither my template modifications, nor any of my graphic creations.

If this is the way vB.org feels fit to treat people who out of the generosity of their souls, shares something they think other Members can generally benefit from - I say it's the last time I share

Thanx for reading...

Jacquii.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
