Seeing as somebody asked somewhere on the last page..
I'll try to clarify how it all stands on here regards your copyrights, the structure of the site and how it all should work.. <deep breath>
The TGTT forum consists of a series of boards where you can ask questions, answer questions and even question answers. Whatever you post is yours and we are incredibly grateful for your input. Yes there are a few guidelines on what you can post (check them out
HERE) but generally speaking you all own your copyrights. We may place a copy of the more important stuff in the Awesome Section but even that is yours too.
Some boards write a copyright transfer into their terms and conditions that allow them to claim copyright over material posted but I'm glad we aren't one of them. We have tailored the board to allow users to control their own content. For example you can close a thread you have started, amend a post you have made or even delete it altogether. I don't see why the authors rights should be restricted so these functions are only a few mouse clicks away.
Basically TGTT is the collective product of it's users. If you need to ask a random question the environment is here for you, if you wish to seek answers there are a dizzying amounts of past discussions to research, even if you wish to contribute your findings it is all welcome. It was always intended as a free flowing information resource, that was the initial goal that Macker set out to achieve.
Naturally there is an immense amount of other areas to the site but I'm sticking with my technical content roots as that's where the copyrights usually apply.
I hope that makes some sort of sense to everyone.
