Images are gone now Though they still do not recognise what they have done wrong

did they already were gone or I scared them ?

It's sad I think that the majority of these people don't even understand what makes it a rip. We're all just raving lunatics to them. But someone made that "little picture" ... it didn't just appear from thin air, for them to post at will all over creation. People are just stupid.

Perhaps if they do this again they will believe their ISP. Really crappy attitudes. Makes me feel stupid for giving them the benefit of the doubt... >

OMG, they are really making me angry this time > >
I pointed them at the fact they what they did was just THEFT and they have banned me!
I was polite as far as I can remember...

Looks like this website I found is a real charming place. I found a real keeper this time!

I was banned also.

Hey! Thanks for all the behind the scenes efforts here. I guess the violation is gone, so all's well. This site sounds like a real "treasure".

I didn't curse or say anything bad myself either. I even put the links to the orignals. O'well.. They are Mac.

LMAO, man he really didn't like us. I checked further and he banned my IP address.

My IP addy is banned also.
I guess I can always pass on details of it all to the Australian Federal Police....since the silly admin who posted the work is in Sydney...

Hey, hey... I'm a mac user but don't paint me with the same brush!

jtf....there's nothing wrong with Mac users....just with one particular site which is clearly unable to take legitimate criticism, and runs the risk of permanent alienation from the public online skinning/graphic art community...

I wonder since they banned our IP, that they are still posting it on the messageboard part of the site. Plus I wonder if they also prevented us from seeing other stuff they might of put up. Just a thought.

Well, someone got my IP banned from Deviant Art. I can see thumbnails but I can't enlarge anything, nor can I download. I wrote them, but I haven't heard anything back. I guess an IP ban affects everyone using that ISP.


first time I ever got banned from anywhere....

Weaksid....I thought of that, too.
I guess we need an innocuous 'spy' to login and not make waves, just report back any criminal activity....

followed the link the image is gone...... to much of a pain to become a member.....jafo you are right 6 times is to many so no idea about the message board

the idiot dasn't understand I have 4 computers here

Diffrent IPs?

They didn't seem to ban me, although I too posted something on that thread.
Anyway, that particular thread is gone as well as the image.

Yes, I can even run 2 web servers

"I've tried 5 times now....I guess it shows just how idiotic the Mac world really is"

Hey Jafo, before you tell me to read post 63 I would just like to say I take offense to what you said but I forgive you. On the other hand I have been attacked more than once for using a mac. Sorry, I just think they are are better than Windoze.

No hard feelings. I hate it when people rip stuff off.

kona0197....just for once try to understand that not everything in this world actually relates to YOU.

I spent an inordinate amount of time [off and on for about half a day...on several sites] dealing with a bunch of pre-pubescent fools who just happen to have a site with the word 'Mac' in its title....because they were blatantly and openly abusing copyrights....specifically the copyright of a valued member of this, and many other skinning sites/communities, and an equally valued friend of long standing.

Frankly I don't really care whether you find offence or not. The work was removed.
End of story.

Oh...forgot....read #63

My rip thread on Devart is having fun.....my current response...

ambitiouslemon.

Perhaps I should dig up my posts on your forum...all 3 of them...1 on one thread, and 2 on another.

This is hardly me going OTT. Not ONCE did I resort to lies, mistruths, inaccuracies slander, libel or obscenity.

On my harddrive I have Dangeruss's wall, taken from your site where it was available for download without the express consent of its owner, Dangeruss himself.

This is a fact, not a fiction.

I also contacted the person who uploaded this material to your site via your site contact link. That is the sum-total of my interaction with you and your site.

My IP was clearly banned/blocked because your arguments defending your position were non-existent and it was more convenient to exile than debate when faced with a no-win situation.

Please learn Copyright Law and apply it properly before you disgrace yourself and your site any further.

BTW...the image as downloaded from your site was called...1048927118.jpg.....it is 389,451 bytes. On Wincustomize.com it is called 'LightArmor2045Small.jpg', as submitted by Dangeruss.

I'm quite happy to validate and support the efficacy of anything you allege is 'distorted' .

As far as I am concerned, and considering my track-record of polite, level-headed requests for the removal of copyrighted works being distributed unlawfully from many sites, for and on behalf of many artists and skinners over the years, your banning of my IP is at best an error of judgement and at worst an admission of complicity.

I, too am an admin...and fully aware of the capability available to such people of distorting their home 'truth' by thread deletion and such similar, so the removal of such on your site is quite transparent.

darn i missed it... well ill go spy it up for u guys, ill go browse there libraries and see what i can find, since ive seen quite a few walls uploaded here.
