[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 4659871, member: 2732"] A fan site still exists at the pleasure of the parent company. Mxyzplk, based on your blog, you tend to see the world in a very black and white simplistic view of large company and/or defending IP as "evil", and little guys, open source, OGL, freedom to do anything with the property as "good". I read what you said about the White Wolf fan policy--clearly anything other than a very laizee-faire, OGL or creative commons standard will displease you. You rally against censorship, but when you use other's creations you need to have a modicum of respect. I really think you need to stop using too much hyperbole, especially the slavery comparison. I think WoTC can and should do it on a case by case basis. I do think an official fan site policy would be nice and should be released by WoTC, but I also think only the most egregious violations will ever be undertaken. I doubt ENWorld would be seen as a threat--you're taking everything to the extreme. [/QUOTE]
