I have an idea i want to throw out there, see what yall think

[blacknightteg]

ok, so i actually presented this idea to Paul a few days ago. maybe a week what ever. but i wanted to see what you all thought. Especially the photographers on this site. What I proposed to Paul the idea of having an events section on the homepage. Basically cataloging and showing what we as a site do in the scene and or community. Whether it be meets, shows, races, charity events etc. i think it would be something that may help draw in members and help this site grow. The problem that persists is the picture part. Paul did not want to have to go throw the trouble of trying to create or type up something and have to constantly ask for permission from all the photographers on this site. So i just wanted to throw that idea out there and see what you all on the site thought. if it seems ludicrous then please disregard but yeah just thought i would throw the idea out there.

Use the pictures without asking them, internet=public property unless other wise stated.

There's this thing called courtesy. Seems with your name would lend a clue as to the invent of the word. Maybe you've never heard of it. Later, QD.

LOL if you have an extra $150k then go ahead since that is the max fine that can be imposed for illegal use of a copyrighted work unless we are talking commercially then it can be more. A photo taken by a photographer is copyrighted from the moment it is created. It doesn't have to be stated and internet does not = public property.

this is exactly why i posted the thread. it was to bring and or present the idea out there to not only the normal people of IA but also the photographers of the website to see if the idea might be of some interest. if i am wrong in doing so then i apologize. but yea.

Wrong dipshit. Aside from being down right disrespectful, a photographer owns all rights to their creative works.

Just because it's on the INTERNETs doesn't mean it's free.

i know thats why i brought this thread up to present the idea. im not saying do it with out asking, i dont think you read my thread properly.

Haha I know you didnt say do it without asking.... I did though...

[blacknightteg]

well then why post up an opinion that wasn't even stated in the thread. i posted up the thread soley because of that point

I'm brand new to this forum, but it sounds like a good idea
As well as maybe videos? Like SVTperformance.

[blacknightteg]

well i already mentioned to one of the photographers that tried out a video thing of the v to mention to paul about it and how it would be a cool idea. he liked the idea abut the video so i don't see why it wouldnt be an idea that would not work.

I think it's a really good idea.

No you are straight in presenting it. I am sure there are some photogs on here that would be more than willing to share use of their photos on the site in exchange for their name posted as credit. There are a few photogs on here that are good at car shots and scene coverage so it would be a good platform for them to use.

What I propose to help paul out is to get a couple of people who are good at writing to team up with a couple of photogs and cover it that way. Then you have a photog to do the photos and someone to write up the story about what it is being photographed. You would be handing Paul a completed project and all he would have to do is format it and post it to the site. Would save him a ton of time and keep the site up to date a lot more.

Mike I def. think that you would be able to write some great articles that would be informative and entertaining.

thats exactly what i had in mind. i think it would be something that we could really use as a site to help spark interest in the site and spread the word of IA.

I wouldnt mind taking pics or writing.

[savincent]

I don't expect to be thanked as well. But I too believe having QD writing articles would be great. Hell, just reading 90% of his posts? I either learn something, or laugh at a funny joke/burn.
