Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

The owner of the photo doesn't even loose anything. They still have the original photo.

they don't lose anything really did you really just say that to me
stop
You take away their rights as an artist. It doesn't MATTER what you think they do or do not lose. Their work BELONGS to them. And you have no right to take it and use and say they haven't lost anything. Why should they post their photos onlime when people are just going to steal them? Why should anyone post art?

They still don't lose their original work. No matter how illegal art theft is, they still have their original photo.

So yes the horses are traced..Okay, So let's change them after all these years. I don't get it?

[Draikinator]

But the big problem is many users DON'T KNOW they are traced. I've seen users change their vote after finding this information out.

This! That can be an enormous deciding factor into a user's ability to make an informed decison.

Another thing, why is it that everyone is like "Bring this to Justice" and "Bleh bleh bleh Art theft Ble bleh" when no one really talked about this on CS until this topic. Is it only so important to you now because you want a good reason to support why you said 'Yes'? This is the first time I heard of it, people are just jumping on the bandwagon.

It's because the truth about this was shushed up for so long, actually. I don't think it's jumping on the bandwagon if people are hearing about this for the first time. It's important to us because it's theft and Equi was basically breaking the law. I and a few other people knew about this, actually more than a few. Telling other people the truth and having them realize that CS has traced artwork is not jumping on the bandwagon. It is setting the story straight.
You can't be upset about something before you knew it happened. If you find out someone was lying to you about something and get upset, no one would tell you "you're just doing this all of a sudden, if you really were angry about this you would have done something ages ago" because you didn't know yet.

While I do agree with you, I am still very curious as to why Tess never did anything about it. You would think she would do something about it as soon as she found out. Do staff members get special treatment now? What's going on?

Guys, PLEASE.

This topic is about if you want the lines changed or not.

NOT art theft and crimes. So drop it, seriously.

But a very good reason for wanting the lines to be changed is the fact that they are traced?

Yes, but all those posts are spam. We get that they're traced. We don't need to babble on and on.

You're not a moderator, are you? Shouldn't we let others post at their own will, and let the staff deal with any issues appropriately?

It has been said by staff members that it is okay to discuss the art theft. Obviously, that doesn't make it okay for people to be disrespectful (again, I believe the moderators have that under control), but the topic is allowed to be debated.

No offence, but I like the older horse linearts better than the new ones. They are much cuter and made me actually care about the horses. I'm not a big fan of the new art. I mean lately, the new horses have had very boring designs, so I just put them in the pound while the old horses were actually worth keeping because I could tell there was much thought on the design. I just feel that the new horses' designs are carelessly thought out. I want variety. I'm sure that others would aggree. If anyone has any comments about my post, please pm me for I can't keep track of forums.

One of my thoughts exactly, I dont think CS will be near as good if all the horses are the same, as you said they will be very boring.

So would I be right in assuming you dislike dogs, butterfly wolves, cats and rats...?

[tacocat.]

This is getting rediculous! Let's just go back to friendly debate and stop the name calling and dscrimination and all that and try to get along!
Just try to respect others' opinions!!!

My thoughts exactly. Why do people insist on voting 'no,' and basically saying that a staff member can have an exception to a strictly enforced site rule.

But all the dogs have the same lineart (save for a few ear, tail, and expression edits)
All the cats have the same lineart
All the rats, owls, and spiders have the same lineart, too.
Does that make them boring, as well?

[Harpalyce]

Variety has a downside, as well - it means that a lot of items can't be used, so there's an odd split between the two linearts.

I'd love to be able to dress up the old designs in new gear, which is one of the reasons I voted yes. (Besides getting rid of the 'tainted' lineart.)
