Read the AW Code of Conduct! The link is at the end of this message.

I recently reread the AW COC and found something which I don't believe was there the first time I read it. It prompted me to remove all my images and code from the site. NEct thing will to to look for text which should be deleted.

Quoted from the COC....

By posting images or text or anything here you are allowing AW any use of that data. You are also allowing them to give it to other AW users for their use at AW. If someone takes a family photo from your gallery and posts it at their home and you complain to the admin. The admin could say to you, "Tuff! We give that person permission to use it. Read the COC!"

I'm sure the admin will say they would never do such a thing. Don't believe them. They double talk quite a bit.... as evidence look at how they twist the COC in regards to contests, how they overlook the copyright infringement subculture here yet publically denounce it, etc. Unless you are a friend of a demi you will probably loose any petition about use of your creations.

Be safe and don't post anything except "wow" posts.

I will be posting this message frequently at various places in AW as a public service.
