While I hate rips/bad anime as the next person, I'm going to have to say that you are probably alone on that one. How else are we going to stop rips if 90% of BYOND is dying from heart attacks and such?

I don't like the sound of that, but I like the idea. How about instead..uhm...
"Please don't rip, it's not hip!" Okay, that was taken from the wrong time period and is a bit cheesy. Uhm... "Heres a tip - Never rip!" Okay, that was lame too. Bleh | |

What would probably serve this idea better would be for guilds--particularly anime-related guilds where this comes up more--to circulate a small button-sized logo, something with simple dignity about it. Most of the users involved probably won't remember the blue ribbon campaign, but it was basically a campaign to keep some bogus laws from frelling up freedom of speech the Internet. Sites that supported it displayed a small graphic with a blue ribbon and a blurb about the campaign. Every now and then you still find sites with that. Now if a number of BYOND guilds were to post a similar image (something different than a ribbon of course) prominently, stating that they don't accept rips into their listings or at least don't ever mark them as featured games, you might actually start to raise awareness to the point where some people would pay attention.

Worldweaver i am glad your interested in getting BP involved as well. But the idea of the banner is not to make people say "wow that a really cool banner" but simply a litte smile and the idea in mind not to Rip.
Also i was thinking of compiling a list of games or hosting a contest awarding ribbons for most original game. Rough example :  "Lummox JR(something different than a ribbon of course)"I like Ribbons. But Your idea is Great. -Genjura | |
There are many slogans in the works right now. The Chips thing is only 1 of many.
Ex: Please don't rip/ Or you might slip (Picture : Guy slipping on a banana.) -Genjura | |
...Yeah, see, that still has the same problem. It won't happen; who slips if they steal someone else's source code? (I hate the use of the word "rip" to describe stolen source code, which is also probably why I dislike this so-called campaign.)
Also, it's not all that funny. If KIA has taught us anything, it's that you have to be hilarious if you want to sell someone to something they wouldn't ordinarily want. =P | |

Influenced by the "Vote or Die" Campaign i want to create something similar for byond its called "Please Don't Rip / just Eat a Chip" The slogan is kinda long but this was just a 5 min idea and i want to greatly expand my idea so i am asking all game developers who are interested in this Campaign To Put this banner on their games. Anywhere is good. and here is the big "!!!!!" from me. thats what people publish their game sources for right?. but yea i know its a dumb [poo] when you have 9 pages of the same game xD thats why there should be like only 5 rips allowed at a time : D | |
How about,
"You wouldn't copy someones homework. You wouldn't copy someones artwork. You wouldn't copy someones nervous ticks. You shouldn't copy someone's source. Source copying IS copying. Stop the copying. Goto www.rippingisuncool.com." | |
I'm too lethargic to look up the definition of cromulent, unless that was the joke, in which case, i didn't get it.
