Check it out. If we have any spanish reading members, it would be nice to know!
While I wholely endorse his effort, it seems he has taken images directly from this website without seeking permission. I am curious if any members here were emailed prior to having their images posted here.
It’s not an overly big deal. But I can’t gauge the tone or message of his website since it is in another language.
I am more concerned with the dishonesty of posting images that you don’t have permission to post. I have the permission of each Gallery Army posted on this site. Golden Demon pictures are quite public, so I lack permission from them. But the question remains, how should I approach this? Perhaps he can’t speak any English whatsoever? Perhaps he is already a member of the forum. I just don’t know, because of the language gap.
Indirectly, yes. I will contact him sooner or later. I have no intentions to be mean, just to inform him that he should seek consent for such things. If we had a natice speaking Spanish member, that would be better than using an online translator. As well, they could asses the site and see what kind of tone or approach they are taking.
Ive send pictures to that site. As long as I know, hes not claiming they are his. Hes giving examples of the “most notable sons of Hashut” he can find and encourage others to do the same. He even show a link to our site. Beside the pictures, he as a compilation of CD background and his own army list called “The sons of Hashut”. He also has some old CD miniatures to show the CD evolution.
If you want to send him a message, I can translate it for you.
He seems to be acknowledging the makers, even if he didn’t ask directly. I remember one of my articles appearing on there a long time ago, and it was credited to someone else! I put my name on all my articles after that.
Some great galleries of CD armies from way back though.
Its good that there is a website in spanish, but as Xander said he should have asked permission.
Some of the Hellcannon images in our showcase gallery I borrowed from general sites around the web (not forums). I have included the web address on each photo where possible.
It would have been interesting to build list of forums around the world that we can contact people at for the next global campaign, but this one lacks a forum anyway.
even though I don’t know german! The projekt group I’m on there means CD fans are contacting me.
If we happen to have people who know german we could use this one in the next campaign, its one of the biggest german wargames forums (if not the biggest).
i founded ‘El zigurat de Zharr-Naggrund’ in 2001. it was abandoned (never closed) for a couple of years and i re-founded it a year ago.
i used to ask for permission during the first zigurat’s era but it was usually useless (i rarely got an answer). some of the pictures (most of them) were sent to me by collaborators; their help was really precious yet often they didn’t say the source. then i tried to find it and it took me a lot of time and effort (i spent more time searching than working on the site, which i think worthier): i used to come across them finally.
now, in the second era, i decided to spend my time wisely. in order to respect each picture’s author, i decided to put its source and its name and waste my time spreading Hashut’s word around the world (if you try googling “enanos del caos”, chaos dwarf in spanish, my website places second).
i never wanted to offend anyone or cause any disruption. i’m really sorry. if any of you wants me to take his pictures off, i will understand it. i know i should have asked for permission but i really don’t have so much time to work on the site… although, i still think that crediting everything is enough (i even link every source to its website -¡sistematically!-).
plus ultra: i took some of xander’s works because i admire them. ishkur’s, kris aubin’s, snotling’s and bjorni’s i found amazing (ashtoning) and thought i had to share them with non-english speakers: they have to be seen (really!).
