.com Forum · Banner Making Forum

Let the other posts die, because I have so much to explain because this is getting crazy. So here is the site. Feel free to add any pictures that belong to YOU or any SAFE sites you may know of.

sdsafesources.webs.com


Now to what I feel should be mentioned before we have a repeat of the past.

This site has a list of all safe websites to be used for images. It also explains the rules for using them, and also explains how to use Flickr on the Creative Commons.org website. But I notice no matter how many times you explain to people, they just don't want to listen, and end up using sites like Google or Yahoo. They are not safe, and I'm not sure how many times it has to be said before some people get it. Jeff can get sued, we can lose our banner forum, and even YOU can get into serious trouble.

The same thing happened in late 08, early 09. We almost had our banner forum SHUT DOWN because nobody seems to get how serious this stuff is! It's no joke, and if you've been repeatedly told to not use certain websites, then hello? Don't use them! It's for your own good and for this site's own good! It irritates me beyond belief that this is stressed so often to the same exact people every single time, and yet they keep doing it.

This is the reason sources should be included on the banner. There are lots of ways of doing it so it doesn't ruin your design.

But please, don't ruin it for everyone, just listen and follow the rules. Is it that hard??

bump--This really is important guys!! I'ts no laughing matter..

Totally agreed. When I first started making banners, I didn't realize the importance of NOT using just any image I happened to like. I was very guilty of using copyrighted images all the time. In one of my first accounts on here, I got my posting rights taken away because I had used images from Flickr that were copyrighted. I was ignorant of the rule and of the crime of copyright infringement but, unfortunately, if you do something wrong, even if you don't know it was wrong, you're going to have to pay for it.

Cassie has been very diligent and awesome about putting a safe source up for banner makers on here. Now don't go wasting her time and use a picture copyrighted to someone else with full natural retention of their rights (means they can do whatever the heck they want to you for using their pictures, fining, imprisonment even).

This is an awesome resource full of show quality. I really have to commend Cassie for keeping it, it's really such a great thing!


Reina

I'd just like to extend, first and foremost, a warm thankyou to you for your dedication in providing a safe site for a banner maker's convienice.
I cannot stress the importance of people using safe sources. Unfortunately not all people choose to respect the need to use uncopyrighted images.

Thanks again,

Analeyn

I'm sure one point or another we've all used an image we weren't supposed to first starting out. But you learn from it and don't do it again.

But there are the users who have been warned time after time about it, but they continue to do it anyways.

Yes there are breeds we don't have, but Wiki Commons has tons of images of these breeds. There is also Deviantart and I'm sure if they were asked they'd allow their images used. So really there is no excuse.

-Cassie

Agreed. But even Deviantart is full of copyright images that people use, and I'm sure that they don't give credit to the people either. It's not that hard to put sources on a banner, or even type your sources underneath the post!


This is Great Cassie

Thank you Cassie! I hope the Safe Sources will help encourage those who continually use copyrighted images to use non-copyrighted ones. You've done such a great thing, and an awesome job at it! Thanks again!

Bump.

Surprising how many photos are on here and there is one person still using Photobucket as a source. O.o

Finished adding Atsonbay's images, and I've updated the images we do not have.
