As to what my post gives the impression of, that is completely up to your own speculation. I never intentionally focused on any one member NOR did I say they were being selfish. Putting words in the mouths of others is not nice, nor is assuming.

My point still stands. I was merely stating that what is best for this site is the most important matter, not the wants nor needs of the few or many. I'd rather have line art I don't like then no line art at all.


Selfish- putting ones own needs before other's.

You said yourself that you agreed with the change. We never accused you of calling out any one member, just that you made it seem like you thought people who disagreed with you were selfish (Read: putting their wants before what you see as whats good for the site) and we suggested you change your wording if that wasn't what you meant. C:
My point still stands as well, if the lines are in danger of being deleted, Tess wouldn't be asking us.

I understand you really like them, as do i, but they are not worth loosing The entire CS over, or loosing the entire lineart itself.

If we dont change anything, the lineart or CS may be sued/removed and there will be nothing to replce them with.

I'm just wondering, wouldn't we have been sued back then if it was a problem?

Not if the photographers never knew about this site nor the lines.

If the people who took the picturesm or the owners or photographers never knew about this, thrn nothing would have happened.
Apparently, they were notified and that is why it is happening now, instead of back then.

question why would that get CS sued?(not quiet able to get my mind around that)

Art theft and plagiarism are considered big crimes in the modern world.
since equimagines pictures were obviosly plagiarized/traced, the photograohers have an opportuiny to sue or do something else to help stop this.

Does not have to necessarily be sueing (slrry for my quick spelling!

If it's that important tess will do what she chooses regardless of the vote.


No, it does not just become what's best for the site. It simply becomes a site that caters to everything the members want. Which is not always a good thing.

Why not? Isn't the site supposed to be for us? If Tess and the other leaders of the site didn't want us to be happy, they wouldn't make a site like this. There are other ways to share art for your own fun, like deviant art.

I'm not saying they should do everything we say, but this is such a major change that will make a lot of members unhappy, so they should consider this carefully.


Yes, the site is for us. Yes, I'm sure Tess wants us to be happy. But wouldn't you rather feel safe, knowing the pets you collected, spent time in getting, adore, were always going to be there while CS is up?

If the copyright file is put through, then those horses are going to just disappear completely. I am sure that'd make a lot more people unhappy then a little line change.

Selfish- putting ones own needs before other's.

You said yourself that you agreed with the change.

C:

I stopped stating my opinion on it long ago, and really only agree due to the fact that I'd rather not loose the horses altogether.
If there is a better way to phrase it then, please, by all means let me know. c:
But from where I stand all I see is people wanting the lines to stay the same either out of their own wants or out of respect for an artist that left us long ago and gave up all her rights to these pets/designs/lines.

Guys please stop bring up the copy right issue, this is a place for people to just say what they want, so don't try to change there mind. Sorry just everytime I come on here that's all I am seeing when all people said was they like the old lines better. Even if the lines change they are maybe keeping some of the rarer ones, so for the 'copy right' issue everyone is worrying about won't matter which way. The ones they are keeping are ones that everyone is saying is 'copy right' can we just stop this now, please or at least leave other alone about it who are just saying they like the older lines better?

Did you forget me so soon?
The one who made you,
turned you into this monster?
How sad.

Though I guess it's to be expected,
you always liked to block things out.
If it didn't make sense in your mind,
you just forgot about it.

But maybe it's because I didn't,
make you into a monster that is.
You already were a monster,
weren't you?
