Great news :cool:

Copyright infringement goes hand in hand with bandwidth theft. We had a big problem with that on one of my boards, they stole hundreds of dollars of bandwidth.We warned the guy doing it instead of lawyering up. He didn't comply and the images he stole were switched for porn. Took him weeks to replace the images he stole. His website was shut down for a month.
That is part of why I don't post pics.People think if its on the web its free for taking, its not.
There is code you can add to the images so they won't serve anywhere other than where you allow.

For me, who gets more clicks is not on my mind. When 'influencers' compete and try to control each other - they end up controlling and manipulating us. ie: If I'm providing an opinion and I want to try and validate it by including a reference, I want to be able to do that however I see to be most credible. So, if I want to post an un-editable timestamped snapshot, I'm not thinking of taking clicks away from someone just trying to make sure my statement doesn't get altered in the future or lost if a link is taken away. Please tread carefully as you try to govern what you believe is your intellectually property.

:whistle: this thread is the most action this forums seen in a while.

I think part of the challenge is exclusive content for members. BN posts and then shows up elsewhere. Therefore paid membership is pointless for content. There are other features of BN, but exclusive content for members doesn't stay exclusive.

For example, photos with BN watermarks showing up on the other site that were posted here for members. That trends on the other site taking away from what people pay for here. Just my 2 cents.

Personally I like the decorum of people here. I know many of us are on both sites, but there seems to be more hate and discontent in their threads by posters (not necessarily their fault). We all seem to be respectful, helpful, and genuinely friendly. That alone is worth the price of admission.

The problem is BN has posted a lot of the images outside of their own paywall. I agree with content that is behind a paywall not being shared elsewhere, but if it's posted publicly, whether it be in the non-member section, instagram, youtube, etc. - it shouldn't matter if it's shared, and I feel most people that post public info also say it's from BN plus the giant watermark, which can bring people to BN. BN posted to their instagram story that supposedly 6g/others have been removing BN watermarks and claiming it as their own. If that's true, that's also wrong and should obviously be stopped. I haven't seen it, but I don't know. But the way it's been done seems only to be divisive and creating "camps" of Bronco enthusiasts rather than bringing everyone together as fans.

What you write is your own. It may be in the public domain, but it does not make it publicly owned.

This appears to have been resolved:

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/notice-to-all-re-bronco-nation-content-see-update.11912/

UPDATE:

Jackson Dawson has just reached out to us to explain that the take down notice was sent by an "over-zealous legal representative" without their approval. They have proposed a reconciliatory approach moving forward, which we totally agree with.

Going forward, for any stories or content from Bronco Nation that is posted on Bronco6G, please also provide credit to them.

[For the record: Bronco6G has NEVER removed any Bronco Nation watermarks. All of the threads listed in their takedown notice had BN watermarked content.]

The Twitter comments thread was going pretty good yesterday. That has been resolved though:ROFLMAO:

bronco6g was this way at the beginning as well. The issue is once the site starts to reach the masses (more than just the diehard fans) it’s when the poop hits the fan.I love BroncoNation content but I equally love 6G content. Currently TheBroncoNation has a much smaller following..which is the diehards. If it continues to grow then you will see the place swarmed with the same posts.

I'm a member of both. One thing I notice with B6G is they will watermark pictures that they didn't actually obtain or create. I've seen pics that someone from one of the Facebook groups posted with B6G watermarks. Another thread where a member was creating different colors for the Bronco had the pics he posted watermarked with the B6G logo. This member is the one who created the pics. So it was his content. Early on I posted a pic from B6G on here. Had their watermark. I didn't try to crop or hide it. A member here who is also there about had a meltdown because I didn't link to the story over there. Which I didn't feel was necessary because there was no information in the post that the pic didn't tell.

I'm not a bit surprised about all of the animosity. It's been around as long as fourms have been. The thing that ticks me off a little is how it's handeld by members. There always seems to be a lynch mob mentality when BN is mentioned on B6G.

HAHAHAHAHA well played GIF!

I was very active on B6G until the Admin decided that money was more important than content. The site is a mess with advertising in your face at every turn. I gladly paid the membership here and never looked back. Well, I sneak a peek every now and then...

I was a member of an overlanding forum that put their watermark on all pictures posted. It pissed me off because I thought, there wasn't anyone from this site on that trail, or in those blizzard conditions, when I took the picture of my rig, and now it has their name along the bottom. Why do they get to put what might be construed as a copyright on a picture I took. BS. I'm not a member there anymore.

I agree, but I am also a member over their still because it seems so much more active. I really need stuff to keep me busy/occupied while we wait for delivery! Would be awesome if it were poppin' a little more over here.

What we need is an exclusive web based game where we build a Bronco and drive it around like Frogger or some old school 8bit game. That would be a time killer until delivery.
