I too find it curious how Mac is allowed to use the site as his personal retail store.
If you believe that's what I'm doing in posting images to a Photography & Art Forum and/or a Creative Arts Group, then you should complain to Perrie … and, if she agrees with you, I'll never post another photo on NT.

I do have an advertisement on the the FP … ads pay for the site since no one on NT pays a membership fee … so how does that make NT my "personal retail store?"
In the past, when posted images on NT were not as sharp and clear as the originals they represented, I would link mine back to a site where they were could be viewed at a better resolution; images posted currently do not suffer quality losses so there's no need for me to link to a remote site.
But please tell me how my FP ad hurts you or any other member, and, if you think there should be a ban on the practice of any member posting (i.e.) images if that member does so in (i.e.) publishing world.
I also write professionally … do I need to stop writing on NT?
In any event, since you see a "conflict-of-interests," until Perrie rules one-way-or-another, I will not be posting any more images on NT.
It doesn't bother me or hurt me in any way, just curious, like I said. Now you say you're going to stop posting images until you talk to Perrie, really? I have no intention of complaining to Perrie about it, she can run her site however she sees fit. Allowing articles from loony conspiracy sites and protecting the Catholic fucking Church from disparaging terms are the things that bother me, not this.

No … I'm not going to talk to Perrie … if you have an objection, you need to call it to her attention.
If it doesn't bother or hurt you, why did you post this …

The reason I'm not posting any new images is a matter of personal integrity; since you implied that I'm somehow in a conflict-of-interests situation … and, that you seem to think someone else also thinks that ("I TOO …"), rather than continuing to jeopardize the site's integrity, I'll defer to the site's owner, Perrie.
You can't unring the bell, nor, metaphorically, can you put the toothpaste back into the tube. I have honored your apparent objection by ceasing and desisting to do the very thing to which you have taken issue.
What objection? I implied nothing, Mac, and nothing is what you are getting worked up over. Your defensive reaction to a non-attack is making me think that YOU are feeling guilty about something though. The only one talking about a conflict of interest is you.
This is Mac's photo group. Everyone is allowed to post photos here and share and critic them. No selling is going on.
Ads do help defray the cost of the site.

Lenny, kind of surprised by this comment. I thought you and I were on good terms. I don't allow conspiracy sites as I would lose my advertisers for not being "Brand Safe". As for the Catholic Church, I don't allow any faith, race, sexuality to have blanket statements made about them. It is in the CoC. You can criticize the Catholic Church, you make a blanket statement. There is a difference.
What is and is not a loony conspiracy site is subjective. You have lost many left leaning members because of the right wing bullshit you allow to be presented as real news. You flat out told me that disparaging terms against the CC are not allowed, period, and this is all I said. I DO have a problem with these things and if you don't like that I have a problem with them, too fucking bad. I HAVE ceased using disparaging terms to describe the CC, what do you want, to control my thoughts too? And if you want me to cease my membership here and stop speaking my mind, all you have to do is ask and you'll never see me on your site again.
Mr. Frost's first image is a screen cap of a video game.
Correct, it is. It was meant as a joke. I figured the image of a stomach at the bottom right would have been a dead give away. What about the second image? Any guesses?
Click & Go There
How can I sell my shit here?
put it up for sale, and make yourself an offer.
it'll still probably stink, but you will have sold it.
Good question. I too find it curious how Mac is allowed to use the site as his personal retail store.

Hell, when I first came on NT, I noticed you had an advertisement. And......I didn't need to hunt for it either.
Some folks.....
now you know why I can get Pissy here.

Talk about much to do about nothing.

I hope we are done with this.

When you take the first shot … and it's unprovoked … and then when it's questioned, you fire more shots … it's on you.
Both are very nice, imho, you certainly have an eye for it.
You are very talented Mr. Frost. Love your colors.
I'm really not, but thanks for the kind words.
Correct, it is. It was meant as a joke. I figured the image of a stomach at the bottom right would have been a dead give away. What about the second image? Any guesses?
Ahh, I'm on my phone and assumed those were watermarks of some type. I feel foolish now.....
Here's a little painting I threw together this morning before breakfast.
Not at all. I am working on a story about the game that screen shot came from, the visuals in the game are really stunning.
What game is that from?
It's called, "The Forest". Here is their official trailer... But, it's much more refined now, looks much better than the video.
Looks like a pear tree in spring.
Thanks for posting.
Grant Wood may rolling over in his grave, JR
But it is creative!
The boat picture looks like a very hot day on the water, the robin somehow reminds me it must be spring. Someplace.
This is the tip of a pencil. I thought a micro-pic would be a little different.
It looks like a warrior of olden times wearing a metal helmet.
I think it's supposed to be Elvis.
I like Mac's pictures and never noticed an ad or that he was selling them.
I don't see any problem here
Me either, I was just asking a question. If it came off as being a smart ass, it wasn't my intention.
I have always seen the ad. He is so good looking......didn't matter to me.
Thank you, Maggie … that's very kind … I will look for one of those forest trail pix you like and post it.
For Manoliaave … a narrow but interesting path in the woods.
Thank you. Love it.
