Ward was the owner of the forum but he had a very hands-off approach, he almost never got involved. So the feeling in the admin board was that the site did not really belong to anyone, it was just a community site. After we moved on forums.net things changed. Now H2O owns the site and can do whatever he wants with it. This time is for real, because at the end of the 6-month contract he will get a database dump with everything on the site (users, posts, passwords) and can move it wherever he wants. Would you leave your work on such a site which is now someone''s private property and which is going to end up getting moved somewhere and used however the owner wants to use it?
There is a difference between working for a community site and one owned by someone. And btw, once you create something or you come up with an idea/concept you put into practice, if that is covered by copyright laws, you automatically gain rights to it. You don''t even have to register it, you never lose rights to your work and what happens with it. So you do have the right to ask someone to take it off a site, if you leave or are kicked out of the admin board of that site. They can''t hold it against your will, it''s not even legal.
Once again, all I and the rest of the forum hear is a butt hurt child. This coming from someone who had supported you and thought your removal was unfair, although after this display of immaturity and failure to move on, as well as complete stubbornness, the admins accusations of you being an awful person to work with are starting to hold water.
Only a child would harm a large amount of people who supported him to get revenge on a few, which is exactly what you''re trying to do. Try to be an adult and do the adult thing which is to move on with your life. Trust me, dwelling on the past is not something you want to do for most of your life.
