It has recently come to my attention that there are several (Bones-specific) LiveJournal users that have discovered their images posted here and don't want that happening anymore. We, as the nice Fanpop citizens that we are, should respect that.
So, here's the list of people (thus far) that you SHOULD NOT post the work of:
graphic_vamp926 (AKA vamp926)
forensicmama
biarustiguel
montana_rosalie
geekluvinskater
fromahippie
fiery_twilight
cleaninggirl
sweet_misery712
tanjabrennan87
fandomcon
heimedall
If you see anyone post images by these people without their permission (it doesn't matter if there is a credit or not), it'd be great if you could comment and ask them to remove the images. I'll be doing this too.
Please let me know of any other LJ users that should be added to the list. I'll be updating it.
Now, before you go off and add your images, please remember to HAVE A PROPER IMAGE CREDIT AND USE GOOD KEYWORDS!!! After all, this is half the reason that these LJ users have gotten angry - they often don't get the credit they deserve! That means for the credit, don't put something like "LiveJournal", "Google images", or worse - nothing at all (actually, even worse - claiming it's yours when it's not). Give the username! Something like '[username] on LiveJournal' is acceptable. A better thing for a credit, as well, could be to have the URL of the place you got the images in the description (something I haven't done before but will begin doing now). I'm going to start getting after people more about this credit thing, too. If I see images without proper credit, I will comment about it - even if it's the same user doing it over and over.
For keywords, be as specific as possible without having ones that will screw the people searching for something. For example - using the keyword 'hodgins' in a batch of icons that has Hodgins in only a few of them will cause people searching for 'hodgins' come up with icons that don't have him in them! Just remember to only use keywords that apply to every single image in the batch. Do this or else the keyword demon will come and eat your soul. 'Tis true.
Anyway, now that my long image credit/keyword rant is over, go on and post your images! Not that you needed my permission, but thanks for reading. :)

EDIT: Thanks, forensicmama. :)
An my opinion is that I don't see the big problem in adding those pictures. I won't add from those people but at the same time, if you put your things on the internet it's the "consequense" - I don't think it is - that you have to know might come with it - people adding it other places. First of all it should actully be a compilemnt that people love it so they add it other places, and second of all if you don't want it be added other places don't put it on the internet. Ask your friends what they think if that's the reason why you add it on LJ. But that's my opinion
Please add montana_rosalie and geekluvinskater to the list.
If u wanna see my reasons please go to the link above
Thank u!
I know a few on LJ users that wasn't happy because they don't know where their stuff is being posted, when...etc, and I think we'd feel the same if the graphics we spend ages making (for fans)is being posted everywhere without us knowing.
There are actually a few LJ users considering shutting down their graphic communities COMPLETELY because of this, so we really want that to happen?
I'm still with deedeedot, don't post things on the internet that you don't want to come out because that is just the stupidest thing you can do because so many is on the internet and so many is on LJ with or without account. I can't controle if they shut them down and of course it's sad but if they don't want it to come out maybe it's smartest for those people because then the aren't at risk of getting the out. Wwe're not telling them to shut them down. It's a choice they make by themselvs.
Oh and on the contorary if I found out some popele took their time to add my pictures other places that means they liked it and I'd be very happy. Though that's how I see things (; Maybe I'm just a little bit more posivite minded about things like that.
And while I'm here. We, as graphic artists, take time out of our days to create these icons, and while we may not own the rights, we do have to pay for our programs. We make these for everyone, the least you can do is respect our wishes, or at least ask permission.
