Nick - Welcome to the thankless world of publishing! I notice you're already getting the 'where's my magazine?' posts! And you've insulted Tiki-Bot in a post regarding your product, I guess this means you've officially arrived. Seriously, it's a great magazine, but Bot is right. I mean, you pulled the pictures off a thread where all the photos are posted by the person who took them. I don't mean to question your publishing experience, but reprinting photos without permission or without giving credit is a giant no-no. Calling someone gutless for not contacting you directly to complain about it, is sort of ironic, eh? You didn't bother to track us down and ask if it was ok to use our pictures, but we're supposed to track you down to ask you why you didn't ask us if you could publish our photos in a magazine you make money from? Excuse us for our indignation! I think perhaps instead of slinging mud at someone you've wronged, even ever so slightly, you might just say, "I'm terribly sorry, I was rushing to get the magazine to the printer, I'll print credits next issue, send me your address, I'll send you a free copy!" and everyone would have thought, "that Nick is a swell guy, he can swipe our pictures any old time." Instead you've started 'ONE OF THOSE THREADS' where everyone is bickering over whether Tiki-Bot is rude, TikiMagazine steals from TC users, blah blahh blah, instead of talking about how nice your magazine is.

BTW - Nick, please see this thread http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=16160&forum=9&14 to find out how far "we're really busy with our lives, and this is why we make mistakes with our tiki magazine" will get you with this crowd!
