OK, so let's get some forum conduct rules going

Could you clarify rule 3, cause I have used MPM's images (resized as thumbnails) here and there off of the site, though I have never taken credit for them as my own. Am I in violation of anything; do I have to delete them?

I meant don't edit/replace MPM's pics on this site. As far as using them off site, I dunno, you'd have to ask him.

Oh I get what you're saying now. Nevermind then.

Thanks for posting the clarification re my pics. It has been nice that you guys have been pretty protective of the pics I upload.

As for IMFDB. Any user or member can utilize the pics to populate pages on THIS site with pics of the guns. That's what they're here for. I granted IMFDB exclusive usage rights, which makes IMFDB the only place on the web who can LEGALLY use them. Of course there are some exceptions when IMFDB members in some way promotes or markets this site on other sites.

I am sure any other member who takes photos of their own guns or of example weapons would have the same copyright agreement. On another note, I am personally 'tickled' that we have pics that no one else on the web has. As well as custom movie gun photos that no other firearms site would ever have. So use them on any page on IMFDB that you so desire. I only have issues with other websites using them, unless I granted them permission.

What about years at the end of some films that aren't remakes? As in the year the movie came out

Well, in that case, it is alright if I used them for a text based RP for the gun shop? I had a format set up, where all of the firearms needed to be resized, oriented to the left, with a white background. I'd really like you to approve them, as they are freaking awesome images, and a pain in the ass to match but they are yours, so if you want me to take 'em down, say the word.

Eh? What? Uh, no. The images (for now) are only for IMFDB. Since they take me so long to do, I don't allow other sites to pirate the images. Thanks for your understanding.

Alright, all the content I coud get rid of is gone. I lost about 30 images, and it's gonna be a pain to find any that will fit the format, or that were even close to being as good as what you had, but I get the whole "taking what's not yours" mindset. Let me know if you change your mind.

For originals, I would think it's not necessary to put the year down, but for remakes, I think it would be better.

So what's the deal on posting images on the site without the permission of the original photographer or owner of the item?
