[s-cars] look for contributors to new audi websitewww.audiportal.com

[Darin Nederhoff]

David,

While I applaud your enthusiasm in wanting to reinvent the wheel (so to
speak) I must say that the method of your madness is a bit questionable.

You've got one of the largest UrS4/S6 galleries because you copied a bunch
of images from other Audi web sites around the world.  Does copyright
infringement mean anything to you?  It is one thing to invite people to
submit their photos for use on your web site or to ask permission from the
other web site owners whose photos you wish to use, and another thing to
simply copy them and put them online as your site.  

As far as the tech section, content contributions, image contributions,
event calendars, etc. are concerned, all of that has been available on
s-cars.org for quite some time.  I've encourage people to submit pretty much
anything they wish via the site.  Ultimately, the goal is to keep as much of
the technical resources in a central location without having to rack your
brain to figure out what info is on what site.  Audifans.com, UrS4.com, and
S-cars.org, as well as Charlie Smith's and SJM's sites have pretty much done
this.  So I guess the question is what do you really hope to accomplish?
Further more, how long do you intend to do it?  Is this your creative vent
of the moment or are you willing to invest a lot of time and money into
making it live on for years?  S-Cars has now been around for more than six
years, and Dan Simoes quattro list makes my site look like an internet
toddler.  (By the way, thanks for hosting the s-list for so long Dan!)

If you just want a place to give you a creative vent for a moment, by all
means please contribute whatever you wish to s-cars (this applies to
anyone).  If you are determined to reinvent the wheel on your own, that is
fine as well but please don't do it by copying content from everywhere else.
