... you know, I would consider this flattery. BUT

>.>" Egh, so long as it wasn't the whole 'lackey' thing (which I know sounds completely pompous, but it's the only word I can think of!) When a person's friends go and bad-talk the stealer before the person who was stolen from can react... >.O" That always gets my goat. (Though, there /are/ times when, feeling so fed up about a conflict, I can see where a person would be happy for the backup. >.O)

Blag, art-theft is one of those unhappy certainties of the internet. XP

I doubt it would ever escalate to that. You're no Zeraria, to make an obscure reference to the devart anthro community~ and that's [probably] a good thing.

Hey, if anyone wants to go to photobucket (I am once I can get together all my proof) one of the lovely moderators on Gaia got me all the links that chick had put up.

How do you mean, Sil?

Contact the mods with the news that she's an art theif and potentially get her shut down, Possibly? :/ Or atleast get the offending images deleted.

Oh don't worry, Sil already did that. The pages are completely gone now. X3 I never got to see them, actually. Luckily, I haven't had the displeasure of meeting the person. Or ever heard of the shop. O.o;

They're still on her photobucket. Of course we can't erase them from her harddrive, but we can get photobucket to take our images off her account there.

Really? I didn't know you could do that. >.>; I'll help out if I can, but I don't know what good I could do. ^^;

Shame we don't have a few more details about her. IP address would be nice... Then we could arrange for the images to be removed from her hard-drive, too...

*wonders if any of mine were stolen as she came to late to look* I have an account at Gaia but never use it as I couldn't figure it out. *shrug* I've had stuff stolen from me - Gray pointed me to someone on Photobucket that had not only stolen my husky images I had at LSI but ALTERED them on top of that...grr...I don't know what happened to the person but I sent her a message. I'm kinda glad I don't link pickups on my site, in a way...

BTW, I can always sick Segs on them, too...*shrug and pats plotting, smirking, pissed off wolf*

So far, nobody's ever stolen any of my stuff, insofar as I know.

This particular person didn't have anything of yours, at least not on the threads we saw, anyway. Whether they have any of yours in their Photobucket account is another matter entirely, of course...

Normally, I get a little pissed off about art theft, but I mostly try to leave it to the owners to exact their own vengance. However, this particular incidence included the theft of GIFTS. Those images are as important to me as any phsyical trinkets. Especially given that one of them was not requested at all. It was just a whim and I really, really appreciated it.

That's why I hounded this thief so much.
