Unfortunately, I am adding another site to our Wall of Shame.

Colorful-Summer.net has no concept of how to properly credit people for the fan graphics that they are taking and redistributing without permission.

I contacted them, then Dark_Branwen contacted them in the comments of the news post regarding the massive page of icons that were taken. Instead of e-mailing us (like we politely asked), our comments were removed and we were ignored.

We weren’t demanding anything outrageous, just for our icons to be separated by creator, credit be given by linking to the correct creator and to ASK PERMISSION if they wanted to redistribute icons in the future. Not exactly unreasonable.

So now instead of resolving this nicely, I’m forced to fire off a nasty letter to Colorful Summer’s host about this. Hopefully they get their ass in gear and sort the icon page correctly, because (contrary to popular belief) I don’t enjoy getting people’s sites taken down.
