Links / Discussion
This is the discussion related to the wiki page Links.
If (like me) you spend a decent amount of time traveling, podcasted books are quite useful. And free ones are VERY useful!
Hmm - also if you're not only interested in horror:
Baen (and some other publishers) have part of their catalog available for free here:
http://www.baen.com/library/
and here
http://www.webscription.net/c-1-free-library.aspx
And speaking of Baen, some of you know that they release CDs occasionally with their hardcover books.
The files are legally available for free here:
http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/
(I should say there is SOME horror sprinkled in there, but most of that is "Dark Fantasy" so don't expect a lot of creepypasta.)
If you want to be literal, none of them NEED to be here. But it's probably as relevant as the Serpents Hand.
Serpent's hand is maintained by I think Mann and it's active
MC&D is a pretty dead wiki maintained by a bunch of Goons that aren't even members of this site.
See the difference?
It's only "MOSTLY" dead… And I suspect that it's someone that thought it would be "cool" to create an account just for that purpose. (Yes, not too bright.)
But 75% of the other links on that page are from non-members to other sites. And it's actually seen more recent activity then the GOC wiki.
It's not like I posted these:
- [http://corpsesoap-wiki.wikidot.com]
Dr Gerald (Front - Ancillary - Old)
- [http://scp-069-j.wikidot.com]
Raven Mackenzie (Script-Sisters of Cheyenne Point - Old)
- [http://scp-application.wikidot.com]
The Administrator (Application site - Old)
- [http://scp-wiki-admin.wikidot.com]
Still not sure this one was supposed to be ours or not:
- [http://thefactory.wikidot.com] ???? (Unknown)
There are also others that AREN'T mentioned.
Serpents Hand is owned by yoric, actually, unless he's transferred MA to someone else.
(Clarification: This is a discussion with the user VAElynx not an argument with Senior Staffer VAElynx.)
Further, this took about five minutes to post, so WikiDot is still failing.
1) It would have been simpler to say "Note: VAElynx isn't staff.", which, for the readers, is completely true. Your statement actually makes me think that there are two people, one staff and one not.
2) To the merit of the case - the thing that pisses me off is that they swiped the MC&D wiki without a word, and worse than that, after posting what, eight short articles, noone gives an arse anymore, and so it lies dead and rotting.
I see zero reason why we should essentially advertise their site here.
Actually, thought you were Staff. I must need caffeine…
I'm not stressed about them not being "official" - I'm planning on adding a link to the Chinese version also, and there isn't a need to ask for permission on things.
You may be pissed about them (in fairness, while I'm not, you're not the only one) but that doesn't make them go away. I'd rather not have a war about it - plus under our CC license they're actually in the right.

Bwhahahahah epic fail.

I don't see how this is relevant at all.

No. What they are doing is perfectly legal under our license, which is the reason why it hasn't ended in a takedown notice. However, they aren't right - it's still douchebaggery.
And I don't care if it makes them go away or not - the question is whether we really need to endorse them and advertise them here.
Hell, in this way ,you might as well link the Homestuck SCPs failthread from MSPA forums. In fact ,although it's patently stupid, I like it more because they at least didn't swipe anything from under our legs.
Dude!
The Chinese, in fact, are copying actual content without permission. I'm not sure if I recall correctly but I think the Russian site appeared well before we ever saw our faithful translator here. (Could be wrong, my memory is obviously for shit.)
Besides, if you're right that it's dead on the vine, who cares?
The chinese are translating it and so are the Russians. If they claimed authorship to the stuff, you'd maybe have a leg to stand on, but as of present, I don't see the problem.
Especially since a forumboard with a translation does nothing for us, while making up the MC&D wiki at the most obvious URL possible means we can't ever have our own.
And it matters on principle.
If the Holders, x and the defunct Creepypasta.net are on this list, i really dont see why the goons MCD site shouldn't be.

Giving it a quick read, they don't actually seem to be doing that. Only things in common I see are MC&D and being in the same world.
They have permission. That's what Creative Commons is for. Read it.
I couldn't find where on that page it says "but you have to ask for a second permission or we will so totally not like you"
Them having legal permission doesn't make them any less assholes from swiping it from under us.
In the same way, someone who sets his company up such that his employees work plenty of unpaid overtime just to keep their jobs is quite often within his legal rights, but it doesn't make him not a swine.
…This is probably worth mentioning on the Site News. Who does that, again?
The Josef K. Stories site has been moved and now links to a site that redirects to the new one. Shall we update our link or leave it as is?
E: Hey, they've linked us too! Awesomeness.
I'm sure no one here will be interested in trying to win a free Advanced Reader’s Copy (ARC) of Lovecraft’s Monsters.
Really, no one will need this link.

It seems that the Josef K Stories site has been moved.
