Not I ... but a common reply to the folks who rip the site is that if they were to "ask" the artists for permission to post their work elsewhere .. it would be better

you have just received such a request


most people, however, don't understand the work involved in creating a community

I have one too from this "Ronok".
I was in and look at that site but this is a site I dont upload on. He have not the same ethics as I and many of the pictures that I found there would never get the permission to upload here on Caedes.

Just ignore it, IMO.

I got one too, but haven't even looked yet and as the person has only just created an account and there are no details about him/her, I think I will disregard it.

He contacted me and I checked out the site. He did ask me if I wanted to post some pictures. Seems legit and at least he asked. But then what do I know...could be Jack the Ripper. Here is the web address:

I have to say, while I understand alot of the cynicism do to the massive rounds of rips we've had around here, this person has come and legitimately invited artists he/she liked to post on their site also. I mean... c'mon... it's not like artists here don't participate in other sites, and some people have actively advocated other sites they like and are involved in.

I mean... feel free to decline his invite, but why is everybody so ready to dump on the guy for a legit invitation?

true .. that was my take, initially ... then I saw the site


1) .. the "form letter" invite is not a terribly sincere invite .. and reads like a Nigerian mail fraud scam

2) .. the fact that 99% of images on the site are copyright violations ..

3) .. I'll post mine if you post yours .. (not really, but I thought it was funny)

perhaps it would've helped if I said I looked at the site when I posted the original message of the thread. Afterall, that contributed to my cynicism..not just the "invite". So, a slight oversight on my part. oops

I looked at the site, and I was not impressed with the large number of semi naked ladies. Also the writer of the invitation seems to have contributed nothing to Caedes since becoming a member here.
I agree the invite is polite and well written, but the other site is not for me.

ewes all nuts ! :)

And I used the word 'ladies' as a 'politeness' lol
Believe me, being naked or even semi naked here in my town today you would catch pneumonia.

What does a stylish cloned sheep wear?
Eweniforms, of course

What did one sheep say to the other sheep?

"after ewe"

If nothing else I felt the guy was a little tacky to come on someone elses website and try to lure people away from it by sending form letter PM's to everyone.
