The T&C is only the tip of the iceberg Loply - the utter shambles that the 'change over' has created goes a lot deeper than that. And so will a lot of folk's resentments.

Well i gave it a day to see if i felt any better about what has happened.
My usual morning routine involves getting to work at 6am and checking the forums quick before heading out to the lab.
First click has always been HMEM for the past 4 years or so...
Clicked the link and read a few posts and started typing a response to a guy asking for help in identifying castings he had bought.
Vague description, no location etc...
I guess i ranted for a bit and then read what i was going to post.
Decided it was best to delete it and move onto other pastures.

It is just not the same anymore... :(
Maybe in time i will feel different, who knows.
But for now i feel like i left for work and someone has changed the locks on my home....

Oh well, nothing to do!
Might be time for a bit of :proj:

Shame about that other place. Seems sharp tools have been replaced by sharp elbows.

It's not for me but I'm sure I won't be missed. Big pity though ... sure I left a comfortable pair of shoes and my tea mug in there.

The other site still has an "Elvis has left the building" feel to it today.

I noticed that Steve posted some of his thoughts.
The new owner is a Teflon man, he just deflects any criticism without addressing the root of the complaint, ie: Drawings that were clearly marked "Not for Commercial Use" are now possibly being used in violation of that agreement.

I posted a large amount of material over there on 2D CAD and 3D modeling tutorials, and I know for a fact that those items had a large number of "views". Certainly many others had topics with many more views.

It is not the posted topics that bother me so much as the detailed engine drawings I posted over there that I clearly marked "Not for Commercial Use".

I sent them a letter today formally requesting that my drawings be permanently removed from the site.

I think a Class Action Lawsuit may perhaps be in order here if I don't get a response from them soon, since this involves so many people who did not approve of the very significant changes to the use of their material.

Anyone interested in joining into a Class Action Lawsuit?

I am not going to let it go.
I have too much time involved in my drawings to let someone use them outside of the terms to which I allowed them to be used.

If I don't hear from them soon, I will be proceeding with litigation and requesting damages and legal fees.
