I recently joined CommanderBond.net a week ago but after two days my interest waned and I don't think I'll return there. I already have enough Bond forums to discuss Bond stuff. :)

As for the copywriting thing, yes, I've noticed a lot of n00bs recently joined and were posting a bunch of QOS stuff, probably trying to be contributing Bond fans but that might have caused this shut down. Either that or there's problems with the server. Hope to get a real answer.

MI6 has been down for a while.Usually,if it's a server, it gets fixed *fairly* quickly. Which is suggestive to me that it might be related to copyright issues.

The whole MI6 site is down. For some reason I had the impression it was just their forum. :?

I think the Absolutely James Bond forum was taken down once because of copyright issues. I don't really understand why they target the big Bond forums as other sites, blogs etc just post any picture they want.
Bring back Bond!

Well, MI6 has close ties to EON.I'm not sure if the warnings about copyright issues have come up on Commander Bond the way that they have at MI6.I dunno,they seem less *searches for a word and settles on "uptight"* about it at Commander Bond.

It could be as simple as they are switching servers.
A server crash could cause this as well.

MI6 is just experiencing some technical difficulties. Thankfully it hasn't been shut down due to copyright laws. *phew*

I hope they are back online soon.

No,really.And not being sarcastic or anything.Really.This is coming from someone who is not exactly a fan of the place,either.

That certainly is a relief to hear. Part of me didn't really want to say anything because I didn't want to argue.

Well as long as we are all on the same page and our preferred forums are running properly there should be nothing to be upset about right? :P

Well, I brought it up,because it seemed odd, and quite frankly, I was concerned, despite any feelings I might have about the place :wink:

Oh and glad to know it's not related to a copyright issue.

Well I think we can all agree that no Bond site deserves to be taken down over copyright issues. It's a shame that the people at MGM are so picky.

good thing that's not the case though anyway! :D

I mean,I understand that they need to be careful about such things..however, instead of jumping on people that post non-copyrighted stuff they should have a sticky notice telling people not to do so.Just a thought.Most people know not to..it would be more for the benefit of new posters.

Yep, well I think the majority of people learn after their first mistake, and (we might disagree here, but oh well :P) I think most people aren't jumped at after their first offence. At least the mods are nice about it, some members can be rude, but that's the way people are.

What's stupid is how some members purposely disobey the rule thinking they have a special privilege because the image has been altered or they add a little c to it. It's still copyright and they should know that...And I've seen some longstanding members do it too...

I know EXACTLY what you mean about people putting the c with the picture.And no, people don't get jumped on for disobeying the rule.It seems to be new posters doing that mostly, though as you said there are some people who *blatantly* break that rule-and people who should know better, to boot.
