I dont know this guy at all and have never talked to him before. I probably would have said ok if he had asked me beforehand but I come to his site and find my stuff just copied and pasted right into his site. Now I'm gonna probably ask him to remove those how-tos and just put a link. I realize my page is not at all copyrighted or anything like that and the point of it is to help others but there are much better ways he could have gone about this. I know that I'm probably being an ass and maybe I'll change my mind and let him use them, but it's just really annoying. I can't let all my work go to a site that supports those ugly, round maximas that aren't 4DSCs :) sorry for the rant
gtr_rider on .org runs www.vqpower.com - it's a nice little site
He just updated it recently so I took a look. I knew before that he only had 4th and 5th gen how-to's on there which makes sense because it's VQ power. Now in his site, there is a 3rd gen how to section. Check out the how-to's he has there now. Complete copies of my stuff. I've had someone else steal one of my how-tos but at least he added a nice little animation to it when he took it (*cough* ngthing *cough*).
I got a PM (private message system of .org) from N34JZ who is a 3rd gen owner about something and a little PS - can gtr_rider use your how-to stuff for his site?
I looked at the site and there were 3 of my how-to's up at that time. Granted, they did have my name at the bottom of the page. I said fine, you can use those 3 how-tos, but if you want anymore, please just add a link to my website instead. (And I asked if maybe he could put my name in the actual link to the how-to :) ).
So I dont know if N34JZ ever got this message to gtr or what.
In a recent thread about some pics, I said they could use some of my car pics for some compilation they were putting together if they liked any of my pics. gtr said nice pics, blah blah blah, oh BTW, can I use some how-tos from your site?
What do you guys think?
