This is too awesome! Mind if I put this on my site (with proper attribution of course)?

I'm beginning to have a real suspicion, here.

S'up to Roger. Most of the material is his.

Thanks, Paes, you're a gent.

Got a feeling it might end up there, anyway.  Because TGRR is not worth asking, you know?

My apologies. When I said (with proper attribution) I honestly meant concerning both the graphic and text.

I really did not mean to step on any toes if I did. I just get excited by the cool stuff that come out from here. If you would rather it not show up there, it won't.

Seriously Roger, I am sorry if that pissed you off.

And I realize even that wasn't a good enough apology as I just failed to even ask you at all even with proper attribution.

Again, sorry. No, nothing will be on my site of yours until I ask you and you say it's ok. That goes for anything from here from anyone. I am very sorry if I have done that in the past and it won't happen any further.

Again Roger, I am sorry if I pissed you off.

It takes more than that to piss me off.  I mean, any more than I'm pissed off by virtue of being awake.  You can use it, as far as I'm concerned, provided that it's attributed to Paes and I, respectively.

The concern I expressed above (the suspicion thing) is more along the lines of "Is Trisha here to be a member of the board, or just to create an alternate site for the content?" 

I mean, it's not like traffic isn't suffering already, but on the other hand, it's not like shit here is organized.  On the gripping hand, it seems kinda creepy having someone who just sieves through the content without saying much, and who self-promotes on the rare occasion of posting.

We've had that before, you see.  It didn't end well.

I understand. And your concern is seriously noted. It wasn't my intention to "siphon" off the content although I easily see how that comes across. I completely want to be a member of the board, and I will do my best to prove that. If you like (and I am aware you are not asking me to do it), but I can take down the site in the mean time until I establish myself here more.

The community here means more to me than the site, but the site is meant to be for the community here as the majority of the content has come from here... I think. Judas and I just wanted an easier location to house all the content. Hell, if you want the site could go down and still leave all the links up just through this forum alone.

Regardless, I want to be a regular member here, contributing like anyone else.

I don't see why you'd have to do anything to the other site.  Plenty of people archive stuff they've found here (hell, there's a book of my sermons floating around on bittorrent that I had no idea about until a couple of years ago, and Cram & LMNO's stuff is everywhere).

But yeah, contributing in any sense is important...Otherwise, you're standing outside of the glass, gawking at the weird, instead of rolling around in it like a proper biped.

Understood and done.  :) Besides, I think I will enjoy rolling around in the weird.
