k thx

Everyone should post at WDI. Tis rad. Also The New Me is there. That is a good thing.

Search in this forum for "unappreciated". That should give you the thread.

Name changes, post counts in HD and new posters have all been outlawed! No, really.

The Pissy Bunch? Piss Bunch! Meet The Piss Bunch! They're a bunch of freaky fucking cats. From the town of Pisston, They like eating sweets and wearing hats.

Oh I wont dude. It's just an idea for when you've done your stuff.

Genius! Soon, The Royal Blue will be a sitcom...

*Practices Kylie accent*

I will make a rival sitcom to steal this ones ratings. Soon...

I'm tempted to write up "Roomies~!" or annother WDI/TSM based sitcom and put it in columns. Well, people loved TEH SAGA~!

He lists a whole bunch of names in a "special thanks to" section every issue. He doesn't force anyone to send him results or talk to him on the phone. He takes the time to tranfer all of the info into his own words. The history of the Civil War may all be public domain knowledge, but if someone writes a book on it that writing becomes copyrighted material. You can quote a few sentences and maybe you can get away with a whole paragraph, but you can't copy a whole section. If you review a Stephen King book, you can't legally quote an entire chapter or even a whole page, just smaller sections. The difference between King and Meltzer is that Kings work is his intellectual property, while Meltzers is news. There are hundreds of credible news sites who quote pages of peoples work, for example military reports, without breaking the law provided they provide a proper source. Meltzer giving thanks is very different from him directly naming his source. Often the news he gets is probably second hand, and therefore he is reporting it without the direct permission of whoever said it. And finally, this news is often a straight report without Meltzer adding his opinion. The words he uses are used to convey the news, not add to it. Therefore repeating it with a source is (probably) legal, or at least not illegal.

The same people who care about who wins or loses a scripted wrestling match? -Patrick That is probably just as sad. Anybody who actually gives a fuck about who wins a match before or after it's finished deserves to be Ro-Sham-Bo'd.

Well, no because plagiarism is when you take the credit and they made it clear that it was from the Observer. Call it whatever you want, but copyright violation is punishible by prison time and fines up to $150,000. Not that Meltzer is going to turn anyone in to the FBI any time soon, but if it becomes rampant maybe he would. So you are saying that the people who actually spend their money on the newsletter don't have access to the internet? If it becomes more common for the newsletter content to appear on message boards, less and less people will actually pay for it and this would lead to Meltzer and the others having to find a new line of work. Then we would all be left with the likes of sites run by 13 year olds as the source for wrestling news. Of course this isn't going to happen anytime soon and it wouldn't be the end of the world if it did. I support music downloading and wrestling tape trading because they both do more good than bad for those industries. People get to sample bands and federations and if they like them enough, most people end up spending money on the original albums/tapes and going to live shows. Newsletters, on the other hand, are just text and most aren't going to pay for them if they can read them all over the net. The man has a point, but at the same time, if you're d/ling music and videos, you're doing the same thing. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and all that. Also, Meltzer is largely making a profit on typing up things he's heard from other people, without giving them a cut or recognition. Therefore, he's technically doing the same thing. only charging for his knowledge. It's not as if we're stealing his creative work. It's the same as every news site in the world reporting the same stories: was something is reported, it becomes public domain (I'm not sure if it does legally, but it is at least considered such). Yes, the people who posted this could possibly be sued for using the same words as Meltz, but they are siting a source, and as such it is legally sound. It's the same as someone quoting information from a book in a scientific paper. Plus, it's a fucking message board. Seriously, who gives a fuck?

Look out: BifEverchad cabbageboy The Tino Standard Grenouille Jack Tunney How did you find out Chave? I'm not chave, I don't know what your talking about... But anyway, near the bottom of the main page, there's a link called "top 10 overall posters" or something. I just changed the number of results per page to 50 and checked the last member of every other page. It's pretty easy to work out where you are. For example,MB is currently #251.

Only without THE SAGA~!

All this Johnson bashing is old news. I say we start a new campaign against the posters with the 100th, 200th, 300th, 400th and 500th biggest post counts. *goes to see who that is*

1. Are we even sure Austin will have a match? 2. Jericho's not a major face, right? 3) The Rock may return as a heel 4) Vinnie Mac

Cool, neon a go-go. And if there's no gambling sub-games, I will not be impressed.

Nah, I'm just a chave tribute band, just as you should be. I still think you should change your name to "FrozenBlockOfChaveReborn" Spoiler (Highlight to Read): NB: I actually think this is a terrible idea

Post Concussion Syndrome, I believe.

Are you saying copying and pasting the observer onto this board for others to read is plagerism?

Discriminate, damn you!

Fair enough. Although if new, genuine people get refused once, they might not try again later, whereas trolls will be more likely to return at a later date and keep on trolling.

A goth kid beating someone up? That statement alone makes you seem like a complete and total idiot. And don't you have a dead carpenter to go pray to? Karen?

he's a scrawny pretty boy with long, platinum hair...duh. Yeah, it wasn't that hard to figure out. And his voice, women love the accent. Plus he's a good dresser. presentable, well spoken and loves his mother. It's amazing how few women realise those are stereotypical homosexual traits...
