Credit is a must. I believe this.
But I think it's ridiculous to have to credit them everytime I post a batch of icons, because let's face it, I don't keep track of who's textures I am using every time I make a graphic. So, to give some credit...
1.) I always always always go to
The Google (yes, The Google. The Google is the best, and deserves the The.)
2.) Then I go to
DeviantArt. Sometimes I find some great things there, sometimes, I don't.
3.) But mainly, I save the best until last; LiveJournal. There are a few journals here that I stick to like gravy.
xswaniconsx,
acidicicons,
hgx,
colorfilter and
dusty_memories,
the_mischief,
toybirds,
chamberten,
lil-brokenangel. They have the BEST.
4.) I have a lot (alright, ALL) the texture packs from
Punk-Rose.
5.) I have some (a helluva lot) from these
DeviantArt peeps:

Now that being said, I'm sure I've used something from somewhere else and just don't remember, so... That's a bust. If you see something and you know it's yours (which I highly doubt you'll notice, cause I mess around with textures on graphics all the time to where you don't hardly see the textures. I add tons of color, just to darken it out, and vice verse, so, really PROVE it, don't just SAY it's yours.) let me know, and I'll add you up there!!!
So, there's that! *ding* =)
Now, I will be posting a link to this post at the bottom of EVERY graphic post, so they'll be able to come here and see where I get my textures from. Now, if you see that I use your textures and you demand credit in every post, know now you're not going to get it. I'll happily take down the icons I've used your textures in (you'll point them out, I'm sure) and delete your textures from my computer. I hope it doesn't come to this, as all the textures I have are (what I consider) the best of the best, and I'd hate to get rid of any of them.
