[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5368780, member: 28487"] Just so we are clear, I did not give a rats ass then and I do not now. My issues with Gleemax were, the name, the name and I could not nevigate it. It was a mess to navigate and I frequently could not log in. But I though the underlying idea was quite good. The big copyright issues are; people with commerical quality material are forfetting their rights to material on such sites. I think there is no way around this as long as the hosting organisation is also publishing similar material. If WoTC allow the users to retain full copyright then they could be subject to law suits where their published material has some similarity with fan material. It is why a lot of authors do not (or claim not to) visit fanfiction sites. On the other hand if one is an unknown and capable of creating commercial quality material it could be very worth while to put some of it on such a site. It will build your reputation much like modding in the pc/console games arena. [/QUOTE]
