First off, I apologize if this is a repost. I ran a quick search and I couldn't find anything.

To the point, I saw a post on Facebook just now, about a site that's selling custom game cases. Looks like they're just getting covers from here and putting them in UGCs. Not only that, they're charging an arm and a leg for them too. Not only does it piss me off that they're taking advantage of the hard work of people on this site. But I'm sure of the fact that this is not legal and could potentially come back on this site. Just wondered if anyone else was aware of this?

Sorry.....

I was aware the topic of selling covers had been discussed. I just didn't see anything about this site. I thought they were new. Apparently not.

They might be new, who knows? These threads just tend to turn into massive shit-fights so they get locked, that said the GCW thread was utterly fantastic!

Aye, it was a thread for the ages.  Pity all of 'Paula's posts are gone now.  That was some funny stuff right there.

Just read her blog, still plenty of hilarity there.

Did you notice that this sites featured covers are the covers made this week, including yours? I noticed they had Color a Dinosaur for NES. I'm going to write them and try and convince them that if they are going to shameless take work from this site, they should contribute.

Heh, good luck with that!  He's also got Chubby Cherub, another one I'd like.  Although as far as I know we're still not at odds with the him, but as for "Paula's" site, well, that ship has most definitely sailed. ;)

And FWIW, the Barker Bill's Trick Shooting he's featured isn't actually my version, because I think his was done before mine.  He's also got Baseball Simulator 1.000 which I also have scans for and will be doing in the near future.  He does have many of my covers on his site, however, but such is life.  I just consider it a compliment. ;)

I believe I quoted every single post of hers for this very reason.  I don't know why users are allowed to delete their own accounts on this site and why that makes all their posts (and PMs  >:( ) go poof?  Seems sorta odd to me...

The best thing ever to come out of GCW.  In fact, I think it's one of the ONLY things that they actually came up with!

It does not automaticly do, have you ever noticed posts made by guest? those are post by ex-members that just deleted account without choosing the option "delete posts and topics".

At the moment I don't see any major point in removing the ability to delete own account.

Well I do know for sure that all PMs from GCW disappeared with their account and I don't have any from "guest". I don't know any other forum that lets people delete their own accounts. I guess it's not a bad thing, but those PMs going poof is annoying.

The other site has this ability too... anyway read PM.
