First off, just wanted to take this opportunity to say hey to everybody here at Hockey Utopia...you guys are awesome and the reason this place is successful! So pat yourselves on the back...
Now, take a look at the dancing monkey --->
I hope it makes ya smile! hahaha ;D
Seriously though, on to the point of this bulletin.
This is about this site's line combinations, and the act of reposting these lines anywhere else on the net, claiming them as your own. Its called fraud, its called stealing.
The guys who do their best to keep that resource updated, take time out of their busy lives to help keep a resource available that is useful to all of us, and they do so without any monetary compensation...in other words, for free. This whole site is run for free. Not a single penny of profit is made from this site.
Just want to make this clear from here on out, so there is no potential discrepancy with any current member. Anybody caught using any original body of work posted by a member of this website, on another forum or form of media in general and not citing this site or its originator for reference will be banned for life from this site.
That goes with anybody on this site as well, I don't want to ever see anybody here post something from another site or any form of media and say you wrote it. Again, immediate banning from this site, no questions asked.
To answer potential questions, yes, there was an incident where some classless idiot decided to rip our site off and post our lines on his site, citing it as his original, exclusive content. I don't think there is any reason to get into any other details about the issue at this time, as there is no sense in it, lets just leave it at we caught it, and are trying to put a stop to it anyway we can.
Sorry this message is a little lengthy fellas, I just needed to make sure I covered everything for the moment and I think I have...
bottom line: don't copy stuff that isn't yours, and claim it IS yours, period.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
The Hockey Hitman
