I see there is some concern about Proforums TOS claiming ownership of all your posted drivel. It's standard forum legalese, not designed to steal your material, but to have the buck easily passable in case of illegal content going up. Who the fuck would want to claim literary responsibility for the contents of this toilet of a site anyway ffs?
But cast those worries aside. I'm not a Lawyer or anything, but rest assured, if Proboards attempt to steal any of your material and claim it as their own, I shall personally go round their house, and stamp on all their toys. With maximum prejudice. Having said that, I shall now expect the standard of writing on this forum to go up accordingly. I've nearly finished chapter two of my new book, "Something Stuck in the Bilge Pumps", shortly available from Proboards publishing ltd.

 Thank fuck someone who could explain it turned up. We were shitting blue lights over that. I have checked this out with an independent third party (Loosey) and he assures me that writings on forums like these are far safer than stuff put on massive sites like Yahoo or Facebook - they're giants who know they can spag you up in courts for years and monoliths who can hide their nefariousness in the "In confusion there is profit" columns. Oh and Beastie - want a fag sweety??  Ta for that clarification love.

Yeah, they won't try to apply for a copyright to your material, but stuff like the Mad Hatter's entire book he uploaded can be sent around the web for free. Not something I'd want. Too bad, I was gonna publish my murder mystery about the drummer of an 80's commercial metal band killing the lead singer with a drumstick through the ear during a reunion tour. Now where can I post Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow? |

I think my book is safe since I do in fact have a U.S. Copyright on it.

Perhaps one day we will be able to afford our own server and write our own TOS. I'll get back to you when I hit the lotto.

Maybe you can look for my other epic novel floating around cyberspace. It's a heartwarming and uplifting drama about a single father trying to track down his runaway drama queen teenage daughter. Search under Finding Emo. @ Hatter: Maybe you can spend your lotto winnings on that. Personally, I'm buying this: www.privateislandsonline.com/Kanacea-Island.htm |

Nice, I can see it now: "By clicking 'accept', madhatter.org hereby owns all rights to your DNA and any subsidiary works (offspring). We may use your DNA for cloning purposes to develop a workforce consisting of enslaved basement dwellers to write generic content and deny report appeals. Any works, musings or thoughts you may have either before or after clicking 'accept' also belong to us and can be used in any way imaginable. We also reserve the right to brand "Mad Hatter Wuz Here" on your ass just for shits and giggles." |
