New Writer's Group from this Board
Mickey Finn:
It looks good until we get to:
"G. You acknowledge and agree that INSTANTMESSAGEBOARDS.COM shall retain all title, copyright and other proprietary rights in its software and all aspects of the Service. You shall not acquire any rights, express or implied, in the Service, other than those specified in this Agreement."
Again, not designed to steal anyone's work, but the wording is problematical.
We may just have to forge ahead. It appears all boards have weird wording issues.
Thoughts?
WonderandAwe:
Perhaps we can use the board for discussion and have the actual work stored elsewhere? Instead of posting the writing to the board itself, we can post it to a website somewhere and link it to the board?
You can easily convert documents to HTML in word.
I don't know how feisable that would be but it is an idea...

Well, it seems to have the least problematic wording jargon of all of them. Might be our best bet.
Yeah, a website would work but what free hosting site? Bravenet, maybe? 'Cause all the other old one's that I used to use before I actually got my own site have gone down the tube (Geocities, Tripod, Angelfire...). And how exactly would that be done? All us of get the password to it or e-mail it to one person who keeps track of everything?
WonderandAwe:
I was thinking something much less organized.
For example, I just finished chapter one for my novel. I upload it to my prefered webhost. I post a topic on the Writer's board. In the topic, I link to the chapter on my webhost. Discussions and critques occur on the Writer's board.
I assume we can find a suggested webhost out there, but everyone would be responsible for their work. Micky would be responsible for the board.
terioncalling:
Okay. I thought you were suggesting one website for us all to upload our stuff to, not each getting their own.
Blar, confusion... XP
