The discussion should be about passing off a cover, one didn't make, as their own or taking credit for a cover someone else made; not about selling covers..

No body will mention TCP if they are selling the box with covers

:P I think he ask permission here or he and shenske talk about it, as he was the one who made all CGC covers

Shadowfox actually produces the cases and is the cheapest option out there.
Also, I am sure you noticed that the list of NES covers I made include quite a few BRAND NEW covers that have never been seen/shared before. Most all of these were from Shadowfox purchasing boxes for me to scan and make. He was an immense help during this process ... so in short, I'm cool with it. :P

Yeah, I see it often on the "other" sites. I remember seeing one guy years ago trying to pass off the SNES Vertical template I made as his own. He got lots of praise until someone called him out on it, lol.
This has always happened and will always happen. It is what it is

only thing i've seen on the subject that makes any goddamn sense, as it's the truth.
so it leaves us with with one of two options:
1, carry on and chalk it up to ??? and lets face it, it's about the shares. if you want credit, then you're in the WRONG game, pun VERY much intended.
2, OR, closely guard your shit.
i'll keep this simple.
i was invited a a known private tracker, and tbh, it just DOESN'T meet my standard of writeups, dl archive styles (don definitions/generic) and general path of QA, i'll ONLy upload game like packages i KEEP as my own archives, and my username is EMBEDDED in the hashtags of the created archive.
keep in mind, i refer to home dumps from my own disks, the very same covers placed on these boards.
simply put, the rules stated i had to commit to a trumpable system of shares where the rules stated a home dump by a CREATED ARCHIVE (user created) had to be as generic as gvt tabs, all the same.
as that was the case, it meant i couldn't personally hallmark the uploads intended, effectively making the share done by anybody who doesn't know what the FUCK they are doing, or put care into it.
i refused to cinced to dumping my own disks and sharing them simply because any twat can rip a blank dump (DOES have to be ??? standard verify type) supply it and trump the hard effort.
in short, who can say if the uploader even tested that dump that trumped my EFFORT ridden share?
if anybody can rip roms off the webs and supply them, makes home efforts moot and a fuckin SHEER waste of time and precious BW, especially as the shares I HAVE TO ...share DON'T measure up to snuff...aka: waste of harddisk space.
i keep a separate hallmarked result for archives.
as they won't allow me to hallmark my shares, give a complete writeup on usage/director list for the user's benefit.
so i won't share.
simples, they lose, and i won't put my name (amiga1200) to anything less the PURE QA on my side, as well as a type of control over the share, by hallmarking it via it's interior hashtag.
i''ve showed my game collection to them, only for the silence to be met, and in a certain context, it DOESN'T fuckin fly with me, when it on my tab.
so i sucked it up, obeyed the rules without question at the same time as defining MY terms of wasting bw and hdd space, just not happening.
i won't put my name to fucking kittykat. >:(
oh, you fuck me over, please observe my resolve as illustrated below: (not my work)

it just means i walk and be gone forever, you get the idea.
[edit]
shit keys.
amiga1200:
::) if it works, it was a long winded explanation of my position if i'm to put out.
on that, hypocrite, plain as.
if you can't see how one sided this subject appears, then you deserve getting you shit pilfered.
it's only one POV, but TCP put out, make sharing raws easier for one.
...
clearly you don't give a flying FUCK about your works, CRYING about 'kudos'...
stump up, tangible for tangible.
hardly altruistic is this subject...
not that i can talk, but again, positions defined clearly in advance, i just have ultimate control over the initial share.
fuck the kudos, doesn't put food in my guts, as it were.
working site improvements, actual usable TANGIBLE features DO! :P
