Hey, I'm a member at marvel_icons and had a batch of icons I want to post. Would it be alright if I promoted an X-Men community along with it? It's called xmen_daily and does not compete with your community, it's for posting and sharing pictures. Thanks.
I hope that I'm not being too much of a bother, and you can delete this if you'd like. I've recognized that you are the only maintainer of the community [info]lesmiz, and I'm am an active member of the community.
I have noticed in active modship there, and I was wondering if I could take the community from you. I promise that I'll take great care of it, and treat the members of the community with respect.
Hey, I'm a member of marvel_icons and I wanted to post the following post about opting out of LJ's rss feed for images so communities like iconscraper can't steal icons and bandwidth with no credit or notification:
No icons in this post, but as most of you have credit and no-hotlinking requests when you post your icons, I figured you'd want to know.
If you've heard of the community iconscraper, you've probably already seen this, but let me give a short explanation if you haven't.
Basically, the maintainer of iconscraper wrote a program that uses lj's live rss feed to go out and snag images that fit the parameters of an icon (100 x 100 and under 40k). Then the application steals massive quantites of icons which he posts in his community. He's saying that he "credits" because there is sort of a link back to the community or journal that he yoinked it from. Beyond the issue of credit, it hotlinks the icons from photobucket or wherever you have them hosted
( ... )
I just know from reading some of the posts, that most iconmakers who ask them to take it down are laughed at by their members and treated pretty rudely, so I'd rather keep everyone else from having to deal with that.
Hi there! :D I'm a co-mod over at hairspray2007. I was wondering if you'd like to make the two communities sister communities, since your comm is for the Broadway show and we've got ours for the movie. My e-mail is barkingkitteh@yahoo.com if you'd like to discuss this further.
We just thought we'd ask :D Thanks so much for your time! -Jessie
