Hi all my frinds!
As some of you might have noticed I wasn't around a couple of weeks. That's cause from June 14th on I didn't have connectivity for nearly 8 weeks where the last 14 days of also my phone didn't work...
Reason is that AOL gave her business here in Germany to a company called 'ALICE' and they - how it seems - have completely messed up the whole thing...
However, now it's working again and I'll hope this will last.
To other news - thanks to Claire ->
Ladyofspira I checked out that four of my images got ripped; the images was:
Flooded ->
www.deviantart.com/deviation/5… Western Lightfire ->
www.deviantart.com/deviation/4… Onion Mweng Rainbird ->
www.deviantart.com/deviation/4… Black Hawk's Birthday ->
www.deviantart.com/deviation/3…I had quite a while to think about; am I pissed off or am I honored (you know, nobody rips bad pics
)? Sure, it is against the 'rules '- but I didn't make the 'rules' and a lot of the 'rules' I even don't like; and - for me myself personally - what is the difference if somebody load down my pics here from dA or over from Fresh-Paper ->
'
www.fresh-paper.com', where the ripped pics are for DL? The difference is just that the downloadcounter don't increase over there; my watermark is still there and - as it is approved many times, that most people don't read even descriptions - most downloaders don't recognize me as person, as a human being, wether over there nor here on dA...
So I came to the conclusion that I see it more as kinda honor - as long as nobody earns money from it, while I'm nearly starving!!!
So I have decided to edit the said images and give them the sign 'Ripped by '
www.fresh-paper.com'' as kinda quality-sign.
I'm sure many of you people will see this issue totally different - so please tell me, how you would handle such a case...
Now to something completely different -> people now could know, why I didn't answer their comments or comment on their stuff, so I hope they will forgive me. My message-center is flooded now with nearly 5000 messages and artworks, and I'm not able to show through all this - I hope you'll understand that as well. So I try to make a fresh clean startover tomorrow or day after...
So Long
