# Sorry for the threadwaste...
but I wasn't aware that we were frontpaging stolen pictures now.
www.b3ta.com/board/1362903 is pinched and barely changed from
www.modernhumorist.com/mh/0004/propaganda/surfing.cfm

# didn't see that
boo to that kind of thing!
though in fairness probably the user posted a legitimately shopped pic - who knows what frontpages and maybe the mod doesn't read modern humourist!

and yeah most images/ideas are stolen in some way...

PS> is senor Fnord about still?

# I'm sorry
but boo that kind of thing? Did I ask to be fronptaged? Did I do this with the intention of frontpaging? No. It was for a larf. I could give a fuck less if its removed from the frontpage and taken from my profile. Life goes on. But I digress, thank you for not totally dicking me around.

# my most irritating FP is this

because all i did was add the logo and crop it a bit!

i can't count the number of times i have spent yonks on what i think is a brilliant anim to have it fall of the board in a few minutes...

# I'm sorry
I'm a bit touchy. It took a lot of work. I mean, I suck at shopping, and to get the color to work the way I wanted to a lot for me to figure out. I am extremely excited for the frontpage. but believe this attack is undeserving. Sure, its not as good as some of the gods of shopping deserve. but its my first one and I just want to celebrate it in peace. I'm sorry popt_art I was unjustified.

*edit* I also didn't get the image from modernhumorist.com this is the first I've heard of it. I found it on a random image generator and thought "b3ta" when I saw it

# while i don't condone
stealing images, it'll be gone in a couple of hours anyway. and i'm sure the perpetrator is going to get enough of a bollocking already...

# it's such a grey area..
..how much do you have to change an image before it qualifies? They're all stolen at some level. And mods can't watch the whole internet, they're too lazy. :)

says goodbye to any chance of ever frontpaging

The only change is the computer screen. Not really deserving a fronpage for that.

# It's taking the piss
nicking someone else's joke and picture and presenting it as your own is a world away from taking an image and shopping it to change the whole meaning of it.

It's the difference between remixing or sampling a song and crediting the composer, and stealing a song wholesale and claiming it's your work.

# my tuppence...
do we do pics for fun and laughs or to compete for fps?
coz if its the latter i may as well leave now...
When all is said and done, did anyone get hurt?
Is anyone going to be made homeless/redundant/ psychologically scarred?
No, i dont think that pic did any of those things, so its all cool and in the gang
