Classic-Castle Resources are for Community Use
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 9:26 pm
To all Classic-Castle members -
I thought this was pretty clear, but apparently it isn't. Recently it was brought to my attention that a Bricklink seller was selling stickers from the Classic-Castle "how-to" section for profit through his store. After many hours of work I was able to get these designs removed from the store (though at the time they were removed by the administration of Bricklink the seller said he was willing to remove them himself, unaware it had already been done for him).
In light of this event I feel the need to remind everyone of this: The resources here provided by Classic-Castle.com to you the users is for community use, not for profit. We are not here to make you money (outside of the B/S/T forum, of course), and everything we offer is done so at the time and expense of the authors/creators. We could probably charge membership fees, and we could charge access fees to the other sections of the website, but we do not.
After all, this website was created to be a community website - done by the community for the community. That is the spirit of Classic-Castle. That is the way we wish to keep it.
Do your part by helping us to keep it this way.
