O... K...
Did I miss something while I was gone?
I really can't remember GothicSpanks posting anything much. Either
trollish or otherwise. I'm confused. Can someone enlighten me as to what
this is all about?
All I can think of is that maybe someone's been flaming G.S. in private
messages. But why would someone flame a nearly silent member?

Darling, I hope yoo realize copying people's art and saying it's yors is
not going to be welcomed by anyone anywhere on the interent.

I'm only responding to this because I'm quite possitive that there is
someone out there reading it:
Copying art, or trying to steal someone elses work and disguise it as your
own is the lowest form of scum sucking, ball licking, puss guzzling filth I
can think of. Imitation is a form of flattery and I can understand wanting
to practice to become as good as a master artist, but claiming you are a
master arts makes you little more then a spineless uninteresting creatin
trying to better yourself by becoming someone else.
I hope that you find that someday, somewhere when your uninteresting little
life is a an end, that in your small dark cave, alone and by yourself,
there is not only no one to copy from you, but no one to care about you at
all. It would probably be more than you deserve.
In conclusion, I shall save the worst, and most dire epitath I can think of
for last.
GothicSpanks, you yuppie!!

To make a long story short...
Hi, I came to this site, didn't contribute much, then used someone else's
art and said it was my own, I just can't understand why you don't like me
____________________ Sometimes I dream about dinosaurs shopping for cargo shorts at the Gap.
Does that make me a bad person?
Unless someone (or several people) are privately flaming you, I don't
uderstand where the huffy depart comes from.
The only thing I can think of is the art stealing bit, and you have to
understand that there are several artists on this site, and MILLIONS on the
web, and having an image copied and represented as someone else's is the
WORST thing any artist can imagine having happen. It's worse than picture
stealing, or identity theft, it goes a lot deeper than playing pretend.
When someone creats a piece of art (good or bad) a little (and more often a
LOT) of their heart and emotion goes into it, and well, to be cruel, it's
like stealing that piece of heart and making it yours. I understand that
you weren't quite thinking that it'd be wrong when you did it, but common
sense should have taken a larger turn in the thought process than it did.
Count yourself FORTUNATE that the person who you chose to emulate was as
reasonable as she was, because in the real world hunny, if you'd done that
with a perhaps more established artist or even an artist with a lawyer,
you'd have been toast. What for? Theft of intellectual property. Point
blank. They wouldn't have been satisfied with just making you give credit
for the piece or taking it down. You got LUCKY. It's the same as
plaigerism (spelled? Of course I fucked it up). You would fail a paper in
school for it, had you posted someone else's words on your site you could
have been sued for it, and the same goes for artwork.
If all it took to send you packing was a few messages (?) from the said
artist or other rightfully concerned people and a few comments in the
shoutbox for you to cut that shit out and take it down, and that it was
wrong, then you've got a lot to learn about people and life, as well as the
freakish wonderland that is the internet. (and it's been over and done with
for ...HOW long?)
You can take it as a VERY valuable life lesson (whatever happened), leave
in a huff, or go pout in a corner, it's your life and your decision, but if
you CHOOSE not to think about it and learn from it it's your loss.
Good luck in your search for another "goth" (HA!) site.

Yeah, I've been out for a bit, so I need an update. Who is this person?
Have they been here for long? What did they post and claim as their own? Is
it still up, or has the mighty hand of an editor smited it until it could
be smote no more?
Anyway, bye-bye you unknown, art stealing whiner. Maybe you can find
another site that is goth inclined that is filled with other unknown, art
stealing whiners, among which you may be king.
No, spanks was a relatively quiet member who saw one of court's drawings,
liked it, and copied it herself and put it up on her website. Court (and
some others) saw it and were rightfully angry about it, but MOST (ie:
prolly about 90%) of anything took place between court and spanks, and from
what I understand it was over, done, and dealt with LONG ago (she either
gave court credit for the original or took I down, don't remember). From
anything I saw there were maybe five posts in the shoutbox telling her that
what she did was wrong, that copying art and representing it as your own
sucks dick, and to cut it out. If that makes the site "too much" for her,
then I'm really sad for her when she leaves highschool and hits the big bad
real world and all it's sticky goodness.
I still can't get over the "gothsite" bit *HA!* I better go trade in my
bitchin black snotty cowgirl hat of doom for some more black eyeliner so I
can do crow makeup everyday.

Oh, so THAT'S what it was?
What was she friggin expecting people to do? Pat her on her head? From
all I can tell, she's been around long enough to see that pic-stealers are
toast around here. And why would she think that art stealers are any
different?
Jeez!

Yeah, Bettie, but she opened the topic again all by herself.
No one would have said anything if she hadn't decided to make a dramatic
exit. If someone's going to create a minor mystery, people are going to
want to find out the mystery. And then when they find out the patheticness
of it, they're gonna flame.
Hell, half of us didn't even KNOW she stole art, and the other half had
dealt with it and dropped it.
Which makes me wonder, why the dramatics now? How long ago did this whole
fiasco occur?

It happened a few weeks ago (I think, my perception of time is skewed).
What I think needs to be stated is that not only was this girl foolish
enough to steal art from this website but she left a link here to her
website where the pic was titled "Shmeng." Like yoo said, Bettie, she's
young and could use this as a learning experience. Let's hope she does.

Sure enough schitz, I get ya. I think at least two weeks ago? Maybe a
week, hell I don't even remember anymore! Bah, let the drama fly, I feel
others as well as myself have shed enough light to the "issue" so anyone
confused knows what's goin on.
Besides, if this is a "goth" site, we'd be ANGST-holes not ass-holes.
*muahahahha*

Oh wait, we can flame? I was just in a Full Metal Jacket mode!
"All i can say is...youre a bunch of assholes."
I mean, I KNOW I am. Hell, I'm about as tolerant as a black panther and a
KKK member after 6 reds and a glass of wine. But most of these people are
forgiving, tender people who will at the least be indifferent to you after
fucking up. Or shitting on another person.
"Most of you anyway. Im sorry for the people who treated me like a
person."
More courtesy than you extended to the person whom you stole from,
deliberately, and with forethought? Sure, it's almost flattering to have
pictures jacked and put up on another site because some freak with a lack
of self confidence feels they need to compensate personality with talent
that's not theirs, but....
"You only deserve the best from me."
So, you're saying all the people that didn't talk to you, didn't know you,
and treated you with indifference don't deserve to get fucked around like
you did with Court? Shit. Maybe one of my ass-pictures is gunna wind up
on Somethingawful's photoshop phriday for any of these posts.
Shit, I didn't even read this thread. I skimmed and made shit up. I need
more sleep and less coca-cola.
