If they don't remove my drawings, I am going to talk to a lawyer. I specifically state on all my drawings "not for commercial use". HMEM is now selling "Premium Membership", and advertising. HMEM is now officially a "for profit" commercial site. I set up CSEE, and I know how to do it, and would be glad to show anyone else how to do the same. I would be glad to help any former HMEM'ers do their own thing, regardless of how you feel about me (I guess we all have likers and haters). I know how to set up a forum though, I can help. I can have you up and running on a new site tomorrow, and the new site does not have to be related to me in any way. Been there, done that, can do it again if you guys want to do your own thing. Let me know. It is not fair what HMEM did. Pat J Edit: CSEE costs me about $150.00/year to operate. A large group could easily absorb 10 times that amount. |

Many many karma points directed to you!!! - that site is amazing, I`ve bought and sold a lot of stuff on there. :beer: --- End quote --- Yes been running it since Jan 2005, small son came on board in 2009 when we had to move to larger servers due to the bandwidth. Best bit is the whole site if free to anyone buying or selling, no fees and limited adverts which barely covers the costs. Only run as a service to the community. Pat J. Starting new forums up ad hoc will only dilute the user base. Though needs to go into this so as not to just finish up with splinter groups. It would be nice if this forum could accommodate the influx as many are members of both. |

At this point, the issue is a matter of trust. Not that I don't trust Eric, but if I were the former HMEM mods, I would get together as a group, and start a new forum, and make sure that everyone understands that it cannot be sold or made commercial, and publicly state that in the new forum intro. Then the old HMEM guys can rest assured that this doesn't happen to them again. I have a lot of drawings in there, and I spent a ton of time on them. Now someone else is making a profit from that, and I get nothing. Not a good situation, and I won't be taking it sitting down either. Pat J |
