You don't want newcomers to the TF community to say "Mikhail? Who the fuck is Mikhail?" now do ya?

What are you? like 10 years old?

You do not have permission to re-post Mikhail's work. Period. There is no justification you can give that makes this okay. You can want it all you like, it doesn't change the fact that you are doing is wrong.

How do you not see this? Your excuses are nonsensical and selfish....You have to get his permission (and it doesn't matter how impossible that is) before you re-post his work.

You're begging for a ban-hammer here.....

Why hasn't this topic been moved to the correct sub forum yet? It' already lost all transformation related content, and didn't belong in the Transformation sub forum to start.

Well if the Sun were about to go "BOOOOMMMM"
in a year or so and the Soviets or the Chinese launched a rocket
into deep space with the best Mankind had to offer future alien
visitors on our extinct races achievments,the only tf artist whose work
I'd allow aboard the Archive rocket would be that by Hack Machine.The rest
of them I'd allow the exploding Sun to smelter.

Hence imagine Gorg the Tentacled Fanboi jerking off to Hack Machine
art in 51,000,000 AD.

DEAL WITH IT!

Talk like that around here can get you lynched.

So is there any relevance to any of this crap? I'm still looking for a link to whatever the art is. So is say either post a link to the art, or send this stupid thread to Flame and Bullshit. Because it certainly seems like the latter.

Link was taken down, as stated above. The internet is the place where everything is available to those who can look, copyright or no. It becomes a touchier subject for smaller communities, particularly those with very... specific focus and artists that can have a massive boom followed by sharp withdrawal to a more enclosed state (pisipisi anyone?) or occasional complete removal from the scene.

It being taken down from the forum does not surprise me in any way, once it was clear that the original artist had retired. Not my thing, so I'm not personally going hunting for it, but a googling session and perhaps a look in the right archives and pm(s) to the right people and everything is findable. As an on/off artist it is a sad feeling to lose control of where your work goes, but everything online WILL be reposted without permission somewhere, because people are jerks like that, particuarly if the want is high and repercussions minor.

It's still foolish to act as a whole like it's a right to demand other people's work though, particularly here.
