Dear Albia2000 forumgoers,
It has come to my attention that one 'Kermishi' has been hosting our addons
and agents WITHOUT PERMISSION. This is totally rude, and an enormous breach
of etiquette, and it needs to stop immediately.
I sent him the following PM, asking him to remove AC from his website:
Quote:
Please remove AC from your site. I've not given you permission to host it,
and I would prefer if you didn't.
Thanks.
And in return, this is what he sent me.
Quote:
What is AC? Tell me and I'll remove it.
If he had read the readme, he would know I'm the one responsible for
Aquatilis Caverna. If someone asks you to remove something from your site,
you do not send a smart comment back, you check the readme and then do it
immediately.
Other agents hosted are Data's C2 Asterix, Obelix and Getafix critters;
Tomtschek's Norngarden and more. This has got to stop!

As for my cobs, I made sure I had a working email address in the readme
files before uploading to creatures caves so that people could contact me if
needed. I might have said yes if asked but now I'm not so sure. Besides not
being asked, the lack of proper credit is annoying the hell out of me. He
just says "Creatures Caves" as author. Uh, no, I made them long before
CC.com was even around. They were hosted on my site on several servers, the
last being on Chani's until a couple of years ago. Not asking permission and
giving the wrong credit - a big no-no. As a bare minimum, he needs to
recheck with the creators of each file AND if he gets permission, give
correct permission. I'd also suggest instead of hosting, perhaps have a link
to the download PAGE where they can be found. Not the file itself as that's
just as rude as taking without asking - it's leeching/bandwidth theft. He's
just lucky he doesn't have any of Wafuru's files - she'd castrate him! Right
before notifying the site hosts with a cease & desist notice.
And before he cries innocent, I have it on good authority that he was
contacted with a polite warning that fixing these things would be a good
idea last week. I held off mentioning anything because I'd heard he planned
to fix it the next day. Well, it's a lot longer than "tomorrow" so time's up
