[edit] Sniper Joe Images

Listen here, buddy! Those images were animated to add a little class and originality to that page that I'd helped craft into what it is today! Why did you have to go and "convert" my beautiful, hand-ripped GIF images into ugly, stationary PNGs? PNGs, which I might add, which seem to have flubbed both Hammer Joe and Apache Joe's images slightly! If there's some new policy I'm not aware of, please...enlighten me. Otherwise, I'd like my old, "ugly" GIFs back where they belong. At the very least, the animated ones. I can sort of see your point with the stationary ones like Skeleton Joe or Return Sniper Joe. ~ Joseph Collins (U)(T)(C) 22:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

There are two reasons why I did that:
  1. Animated images like these are very distracting from the actual text of the article. Animation should be used sparingly.
  2. Your claim of fair use for these images is shaky when you use animated copies. Animated copies needlessly increase the amount of copyrighted work we are using, which is not in accordance with Wikipedia:Non-free content. To be safe, you really ought to go through these images and add a fair use rationale to each one.

[edit] A quick note...

Hi Joseph Collins, I just have something to tell you, about RPM and whatnot. A while ago, Ares decided to have a joke and threaten me, saying that he was you, which I ended up believing for a few weeks until I found a flaw in his masquerade. I know you probably don't want anything to do with RPM anymore, after what happened, but I've wanted to tell you this since I found Ares out.

Uh... If I may be permitted a small acronym... "WtF"! Why would Ares do that? And why me, exactly? What did he do? I'd like more information if that's alright. ~ Joseph Collins (U)(T)(C) 19:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Is there anywhere that we can arrange a secure meeting, so I can pass the log of what happened, to you? --Reploidof20xx (TALK) 06:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
That's a good question. XD Mm... Got any instant messengers? Or even IRC or something? IRC would probably be easiest... ~ Joseph Collins (U)(T)(C) 22:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
You can catch me on IRC [1] or on AIM as swnxxx --Reploidof20xx (TALK) 09:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
