hey pookie, just heard daily toons was ending. many thanks man for a bunch of great reads
Noooo! Don’t quit, Pookie!
Say it ain’t so!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
my thoughts too but i think he had to
Thank you for your time and effort in what was a great job. It was always one of my highlights for the day.
I note many cartoons were removed from today’s toons to comply with media requests.
Sure am gonna miss you. Thanks for making my day for a long time!
Thanx Pookie! It has been fun!
Where did you hear this?
Is this true?
It seems like there ought to be a technical solution to make it easier for everyone, like an easy way for the moderators to maintain a database of excerpt-and-link-only URLs, in combination with a URL scanning routine in the posting code to find those URLs and notify the poster. The coding would not be difficult for handling most cases.
Sidebarm AM-
can you put this in the FR section on the sidebar???
(with the author’s permission of course :)
Many thanks to Pookie for lots of laughs.
Well there goes my wallpaper sources.
Pookie18 keeps it real.
Enjoyed your post very much.
How about verifying this from the primary source?
Pookie, they’re saying you’re opusing out?
Just a guess, but after looking at the 4/3 toons page; too many sources are getting their panties in a wad over linking in their toons, and the mods are removing them.
Some forums do not allow any political cartoons posted as images to avoid the copyright issues.
I’m in the midst of FReepmailing everyone on my ping list (550) that I’ll no longer be posting the toons (here), but will remain a FReeper unless they have other ideas.
All good things must come to an end...Thanks Pookie
Jack
Thanks Pookie!
You’re welcome, beebuster!
Will still be here as long as they let me, but will only be posting the toons elsewhere.
Appreciated!!! Will post at 2-3 other sites.
Thank you...will continue to post them, but just not here...
You’re welcome. Will continue to post them at other sites.
You can still get them from my toons threads...just not at this site...
Thanks, TC...will still post them at a couple of other sites.
You’re welcome...not ending the toons...just ending them here...
If Jim is being threatened with lawsuits then you must comply with Jim's request to provide written permission from the artist.
Basically what you are doing in posting all the cartoons in one place, is robbing those other sites of the internet traffic the cartoons generate.
That affects what those sites charge to advertise.
Jim is not being mean and hard on you, it's the nature of internet business.
Will still be here as long as they let me, but will only be posting the toons elsewhere.
So you’re saying FR told you you couldn’t post the tunes here? Are you kidding me? So, what other sites will they be on because I’ll be there.
Funny thing is: Pookie has actually turned me, and probably a lot of people, on to toon's we would have never seen otherwise. I go visit a few sites that either carry, an artist toon's, or the artist's site itself because of her.
Of course I understand Jim's position, but he ought to tell them it is, or can be, a form of free advertising for them.
Of course; Not that those lame brains in the MSM would listen or understand.
I’ll bet it has been a lot of work, but I’m gonna miss your threads.
It gives more exposure to the cartoonist and may draw people to their sites. This stance by them to protect their proprietary info will only ensure that this reader ignores them in the future.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gonna miss ya in the mornings
Pookie, I too have enjoyed your postings and shared them with my network. Where will you be posting them in the future? If you can ping me in some way I would sure appreciate it. Jack (spottedowl)
Thanks Pookie18 its been fun.
It’s more complicated than that & doesn’t just involve this latest issue. I’ll be posting at Wide Awakes & GOPachy & someone has “offered” another site which I’m looking into...
Chris Muir is excellent!
Thanks! Will still be posting in other places.
Thnaks, Jack! I’ll be posting at Wide Awakes & GOPachy...OR if your FReepmail me your e-mail address, I can put you on my e-mail list where I send a daily link to the toons.
Sad to hear that. I always enjoyed them, they were the first thing I checked out every day.
I want to thank you for your postings, I know it had to be a lot of work.
Where will you be posting them?
Yea! I saw one of his strips on your post for the first time, really liked it, checked the source link, and then spent the next three days going through his entire line from the beginning.
He's witty, Right, and he draws his women real fine :)
I know it would have been more work, but perhaps if you put in the A HREF as part of the toon, linking back to the source, some (of the smarter ones perhaps) might not have been so pissy about it.
Of course I'm speaking of rational, intelligent people, which of course leaves out the NYT among others.
Without you, coffee just won’t be the same in the morning.
Glad you’re not leaving FR altogether
Thanks, Vet! Much appreciated (as is your service)! Your question is answered in comment #43.
One cartoonist asked that I link back to his site...which I do.
Thanks, spotbust1!
Appreciate your efforts, and understand the constraints. Your ping will be missed!
