Mickey, the support ticket guys must like registered board owners better.  I don't know, but I got a reply.

Might it be possible to clarify so as the legal rights to the posted information are presented clearer. I just want to make sure that the user who posted it has the rights to the information posted.

You have the right to the content, yes. It doesn't become our intellectual property or anything like that.

All that says is basically we have the right to store it on our servers (which is rather necessary, since storing message is what a message board does) and display it back. You still own the content. 

That just got back to me today and I submitted it the day before yesterday or so.  That's all you were looking for, right?

Cool! Invision it is, then. Estimated time of going up: around the first of the year (either shortly before or shortly after...we have a huge party for New years that goes from about Dec 29th to Jan 2 or 3rd with guests from all over the world. I'll be a bit distracted then. But traditionally, the next few weeks are slow at work. If this remains true, then I'll be able to get the boards set up and get the rules email written that everyone has to agree to before they get the password...things like "Thou shalt not steal other's work" and "neither Invision nor the board moderators are responsible for other people being jerks are trying to rip off your ideas."  While I don't see this happening, as this will be a private community, well...you never know.)

Hey everyone.

I've been kind of in and out.  My little cousin was killed in a car wreck about a month ago, so that kind of threw off my creative chi.  Now I'm regrouped and back into it.

Just wondering how the group was coming along.  I'm excited about it!

Holy cow. I'm so sorry!

The writing group sounds awesome (*kicks self for coming on here so seldom*). I'm in as soon as it's up (I'll be more of a reviewer at first, though, since the group'll start about the same time I begin to conquer the wonderful world of microbiology).

Gah. My sympathies.



Thank you.  But it's cool.  He's visited me and several of my family members in our dreams and said he was okay, that he was getting used to Heaven. 

I tell you, I believed in God before, but i REALLY believe in the guy now.  A bunch of stuff happened within a week of Chris's funeral that suggested that he was coming around and tying up lose ends.  I'm thinking about writing a little collection of stories about everything that happened.  They're pretty awesome occurances.

So, the group should be up around the first of the year, did I read that somewhere?

That's what I'm aiming for. Depends on work, really. Normally, we're slow this time of year, but they're finding ways to make us busier than normal.

I am very interested in the idea of a board for writers.. i am a long time role player and have been kicking around a few ideas ... one was stolen.. and it turned out well.. so i really want to get this other one going..

i have the synopsis and major ideas for the progression.. have the main protagonists.. and antagonists.. and have roleplayed through the entire course of the book many times.. but now i am finally ready to write it...

hopefully this time will be the charm...

thanks

This bord has been quiet for a while. Anything new, or is the proposed board still in limbo?
