GIRS Website ideas

I do not want to get into a pi**ing match here but I have to defend myself.

I did send you updates. I never saw the changes. No big deal. We all have better things to do. Part of the reason I wanted more than one person that knew how to do this stuff.

He is not claiming this site as his own with that logo! He asked me if I minded if he put his link on there along with all the others. I did not see a problem with it. I figured that was the least we could do for him since he is not even a "fish" guy.

We are not trying to deceive anyone here. We just wanted a website and you offered to build us one. We took you up on the offer thinking that it was the "Property of GIRS". I guess we all learned a lesson here and I will make sure for the clubs sake that this will not happen again.

To everyone in the club...we are working on a new one as I type. The old format was great and that is what we are pretty much going to use. It is a basic template from Dreamweaver. If there is something that you want to see changed please post it!

Bob, you have been hereby notified you are NOT to use the template of which we purchased. This is a copyrighted template which was sold to our design company, not to GIRS. If you place this template back online, you are in violation of the copyright laws of that template. The selling company will be notified of its misuse.

Rights and Usage

2-1 Are there any restrictions on my use of the graphics that I download?
Yes. If you intend on using any of the graphics that you download, then you must make significant modifications to the graphics. Therefore, simply changing the text or inserting new photos, and making no changes to the layout, will be insufficient to comply with our terms of use requirements.

If you do not intend on making these significant design changes to our graphics then you must purchase a license for each client that you intend to provide this inventory to with only small customization. Additionally, you must retain proof that you have indeed adhered to this protocol, by holding onto your receipt or other supporting documentation, to indicate that a license (which is the purchase of an additional membership for each of your clients you intend to provide our inventory to) has been purchased to allow for the use of our materials in this unaltered or only slightly modified fashion.

Additionally, our graphics may not be distributed or displayed as part of any archive, media disk, catalog, auction, or the like. Finally, our products may be used for both commercial and personal use, as long as they conform to the restrictions indicated above. Because X offers a unique high value service of premium graphics and materials, it reserves the right to review accounts for the risk of potential misuse.
2-2 Do I have exclusive ownership over the items I download as part of the my membership?
No, your purchase entitles you to a license to use the products royalty free in accordance with the rights, restrictions and conditions indicated in the license you receive, and indicated above, but we do not grant exclusive rights for items downloaded from our member section.
2-3 If I purchase an unlimited membership are there any other fees I will encounter when downloading from the site?
No, an unlimited membership allows you full access to download any of graphics from the members area of our site at no extra charge.
2-4 Are the terms for the Limited and Exclusive items different then the Member product terms?
Yes. When you purchase an item as a part of the Limited collection of graphics, this affords you a full license to use this graphic in any way you choose ONE time. However, it is important to note that it may only be used ONE time. In other words, you may provide these graphics as works to your clients, but only ONE client may purchase this work from you, because your license only provides you with this one-time use option. Additionally, if you are using this template for yourself the same terms of use apply. Therefore, the benefit is that you are still able to receive our high-quality graphics at our lowest prices that are beyond compare with our competitors, while only having the graphics circulated to a minimal extent.

Regarding how you may utilize our Exclusive graphics, once an item is purchased from the Limited/Exclusive section as at the Exclusive price just ONE time, it is removed. Yes, that is right, you can receive a unique template from our professional collection for this one-time fee, and it will NOT be distributed again.

Having said the above, with the cap that we are placing on these items each purchase will have to go through a verification process. This process typically takes between 24-36 hours to confirm the validity of a transaction, and is put in place so that we may continue to deliver these high-quality graphics at our unbeatable price to our legitimate buyers.
 
We are working on a new site as we speak.. Everyone shoot out your ideas. Also lets see how many IMAC and club pictures we can get for the gallery. Trustees if you hold local meetings take some snapshots so that everyone can have a face on the web site.

WOW I wish there was always this much going on in here. Just in a more positive way

I know. It seems like this group just loves a good soap opera. :lol:
 
What ever happend to that map of the Iowa area LFS's? If that is still available to be used that was an awesome little tool. If possible we should get that back on the GIRS website!

I dont think that it was ever on there. If you want it on there we can put it on. Just let me now what you are talking about and I will see that it gets done.
 
Maybe have a vendor feed back to go along with that so we can put our personal experiences with each.

That's not a bad idea but I think that would better left to the discussion forum here. I think the website should be left "neutral" as far as the vendors go.

Thoughts?

Agreed, I hate to be held liable for comments on the site. I know we'd have to ban comments on Adam's right away.
 
That is true. I wish we could have stickies for things like that on this site. Perhaps a little sub forum.
 
Yeah thanks dave, I searched and couldn't find it for like an hour and then when I do find it, I see you made my work in vain...*sigh* I think that it is a helpful tool for people "passing through"

What about product reviews...I'd like to see a review on the Vortech!
 
You've got to be kidding me! :rolleye1:

Good luck on the new one. I liked the layout of the old one a lot.

Pictures of club events would be cool to have on the site. Maybe some of the tank tours we had. Zoo Trip, etc...
