^If only we had a like button. I don't even go to Screamscape anymore. No sense in giving him clicks when he's not giving proper credit.

Violarum, your concept art is amazing!

You know whats funny is I read stuff on this site and then 2 days later Im reading the same stuff there and its with almost everything

Spins the World (the site that Screamscape linked to) must have seen our complaints as the first post has been amended to include citations that include mentioning Violarum and Teebin, as well as linking back to Orlando United.....

The second post, while actually crediting Hatetofly for a photo, does forget to credit WhyLightBulb for his insider information.....

So, a thank you is in order for "Spins the World", for going back and adding the credit where credit was due.

Just asking... Did he report the Nov 1st announcement b4 anyone else? I do remember reading it there b4 anywhere else. Did I miss it elsewhere? I want to be sure I go to the best place for early news.

Also I do think SS does a great job of putting ALL theme park news/info in one location no matter how big or small the park is.

And finally... Isn’t the point of watermarks to make sure you keep credit for your work? I mean the internet has billions of people. All the time people claim they did stuff they did not do. If you want credit for work (which I agree you should) why not put a small watermark on the image? And if you DO use a watermark and want credit use a a BIG watermark.

Is credit really that important? Asking a honest, serious question. I have seen some stuff I have done around the net, it doesnt bother me that I may not get the "proper" credit because its not like its taking food outta my pocket. Now when someone else wants to take credit thats a different story!

And Bob, it cant be said enough but THANK YOU for your updates.

Now, I actually have a question about the expansion, is this suppose to be all "harry potter" london or will it be other london movie related stuff?

Credit IS important when it’s wanted by the creator no matter the opinion of others. I agree it should not be important. However I entirely understand anyone wanting it.

As far as what has been speculated, yes, what is going into the Jaws plot is a Diagon Alley (Potter's London location) complete with a Gringotts coaster, Hogwarts Express that links to IOA, and a themed land complete with shops, a restaurant, and possibly a walkthrough attraction.

First off I would like to give Violarum a big thumbs up :thumbs: for his great concept artwork. Keep it up, you have a promising future!

Second, I would like to thank all of the members :wave: that have given me praise for my photo's.

Now, on to the issue of "credit". As most of you know I just recently started to watermark my pics. I did not do this to gain recognition or "credit". But, I was tired of other sites using my (and others here) pictures as they where their own. Other sites both here and abroad using our pics and info like it was their own does not please me to say the least. If they do not have the resources to gather their own info and pics then OU should be credited and rightfully so. :fist:


Now, back to the fun stuff - WWoHP II

:happy: I'm glad Spins the World went back and made the alterations. I was more upset about that than screamscape's link. I have been checking SS for years because, like some of you said, it's the whole industry in one place. Pretty convenient. But yeah, so yay for apply endings. :smiley:

Well said Bob, I have even seen one of my pics show up on Screamscape with someone else taking credit. I never ask for individual credit but I do ask for site credit. The staff and I work very hard and I personally take money out of my pocket to buy cameras, accessories, tickets, gas, beer, and any other expense in result of providing an update. For those who say credit is not important please link me to the updates you have provided for this site at your expense.

Sorry some of these comments just burn me up...

Lets talk about HTF's location being Vault 713. :look:

 

[Hatetofly]

Shhh...

I guess Im prematurely bummed. I, as if I really matter, would have like half to be a london section sorta like New York and Hollywood is than the Diagon alley section. Guess i'm a big dreamer...:shrug:

It will be. Diagon Alley will be behind London facades.

 

[jarmor]

So...what would be in london? Hypothetically??

Albert Embankment, St. Pancras station, and facades.

:rofl: sorry, could not resist

 

[jarmor]

I feel robbed of the "london" experience :'( ! But then I just had an "ahhh" moment. Pratically the entire park (nyc, hollywood, sanfran) is facades and store fronts. Guess I gotta go to EPCOT to get that "london experience"...whatever that is :huh: ??

 

[Hatetofly]

:rofl: sorry, could not resist

What did I have in my hand when we met up at the Transformers announcement
