ok, i am just back online after my xmas hols, and this whole thing came as a shock.

 i have read thru peoples arguements.

fair enough, we are getting free hosting. nice one. although this is not really anything unique, and sharecg has (in my experiance) slower speeds, and more bugs than the established service providers like filefront. so this is not really an incentive.

as re; sharecg being a community; i think most of us are more likely to use more specialist, or more active forums for comunities. there is precious little comunity here. this is the only thread to have seen serious activity in a while. although i appreciate the effort needed to make a comunity, you need to entice people into one, and allow time to let it develop on its own time, or not, if thats the way it is going to be.

as re; the quality issue. i have been saying this for ages. quit being nice about it, and just delete everything and everyone that is not good at their craft. all mediocre stuff should be scrapped. accross the board. dont be nice, dont be fair. just do it. because if you dont, this place will be swamped in crap, as it is doing. and like a nutrified lake, it will suffocate.

 as re; the money.... yes, this is a change for the worse. it has been fully discussed above. instead of 50 per cent, sharecg is now taking 100 per cent. which is not what i signed up for. you have not stuck to the spirit of what we signed up to, and in fact it could be seen that we have been hoodwinked. get us to upload enough, and build up a reputation for the site, then shelves us, with self-contradicting excuses.

as for whether or not this is legal, i dont know yet. i want to see the user agreement again that i saw when i signed up. there is a posibility that there are grounds for suing. i dont have an interest in this, right now at least.

as for me; if my 50 percent as is usually calculated is not either put aside for distribution by agreement later on, when this has been dealt with properly, or at the very least, given to a reputable charity, i will without a doubt be removing my work. its not about the money, its about breach of trust. we cant all of a sudden decide we want 100 percent. why should david and jacob? i view this as insulting to the people who have helped make sharecg what it is today.
