There seems to be quite a few walls posted in this album from the wallpaper galley here at WC including several of mine, Skinhits RedneckDude Devjit and others. Is this kosher? I cannot seem to be able to figure out who has posted these images. Can you guys and girls be of some help?

I've had a response to my email....I shan't post it publicly [that's not appropriate as it's a private email], however the gist of the communication is that the situation will be resolved appropriately....

Just for general info, I did register at the site so that I could access the list of registered users so I might acertain who was doing the uploading of the WC stuff. I certainly appreciate the quick response and the swift justice for all of us who were involved.

Two of them were "Fuzz" and "mind".

Just an update....the site's still off-line.
Wonder how long it was up.

We have an undercover agent, here! Someone put her in charge of CRU! (Counter-Rip Unit)

On behalf of your valued employee [2of3] I humbly request you revise his work schedule as he finds the current demands both tiresome and draconian. Further more, a recalibration of his pay-scale would be in order. Might I suggest a 20% reduction in hours combined with a 50% increase in the hourly pay-rate?
Failing that, you can always sack the lazy sod.
I await your favourable response,
Cheers,
JAFO-the-evil ..
To Frackin funny!

Back on topic for a moment: mrs starkers received an email from the ColorOasis admin apologising for posting some of her works without first seeking permission.
He/she also sought permission to continue hosting those works and extended an invitation for her to post future works herself.
Dunno if anyone else has been contacted as yet, but it would seem the owner did not intend to rip anyone's work and would like to continue hosting with the respective artists consent.

Certainly shows a lack of mens rea, or the will to correct things.
Did the site admin also advance a plan for sharing the solicited donations from the Homepage where they were solicited?
Maybe the person running the site didn't understand how to go about doing things correctly.
I say let's extend the same good will reciprocally....If the artists are compensated. Fair's fair.

The site's Gallery is still offline, but a new link referring to WC Members has been added. This seems to consist of an apology cum explaination, with a list of the WC members whose work was in the gallery. The gist is that the site was a hobby and personally financed (with the aid it seems of a very professional donation facility accepting credit card paypal secure banking which is still active). One to keep an eye on folks.
