Well, I guess it's time to throw my 2-cents worth in here. [

I create things & art (graphics) for the joy of creating them.
I rarely charge for what I create unless it's some custom job
that requires a lot of detail and time. I created my web site
based on that dictum, everything is free for people to enjoy
and use. The only restriction I put on stuff that I create is
that it not be used in any kind of advertising and someone wants
to improve on one of my creations or use it to create a new bit
of design work, that's fine too - just let me know about it. Not
because I want reimbursed for it because I don't. If people feel
that what I am putting out there for their use and enjoyment is
worth something then they have the option to make a donation of
however much or little as they want to help me pay the fees to
keep my site operating so I can keep providing heads, skins, etc
for free to everyone who finds them useful & entertaining. Even
the resource archive of my site has scripts, software and apps
that were created by others - Dr.Wallace, Robert M, Duskrider
to name a few. But I asked permission to post them out of courtesy,
not some need to abide by copyright laws, even though ALICE and
UltraHal are copyrighted software, many parts are still provided
as open-source material which can and should be freely redistributed.
I'm sorry spydaz, I don't agree with your philosophy that if it's
out there on the web, it's yours.
We all should have some respect & show some courtesy for another
persons hard work and creativity. We do not live in a society based
in anarchy after all. Many of you spout religious platitudes to your
bots and talk about it even on this forum, but you need to look at
those religious ideals of which you speak. The core of which is
respect for others, and that includes what others create through
their God given talents and hard work. Show some respect for each
other people.
I'm done, that's my 2-cents worth. Either take note of it or
toss it in the dustbin if you like. Your choice. [

Dusky, I would be happy to host some of your work on my site.
I will set you up a gallery page so that, just like Mr.Alikorn
and JGephart, you will get credit for what you create.
