February 25, 2009 first steps

From Military Graphics Collection

Well it's been quite ... quiet here. Too quiet, I admit - but as you can see: the MGC is back. I've already ansewered a bunch of emails in which I was asked for images/photos. Unfortunately I had to answer all requests in the same way: I'm sorry, but I can't send you any photos.

The reason for the quite radical step (deleting all images) was simply because the licence of some files was not 100% sure and it wasn't possible to clearly identify which files were okay or not. Additionaly, some big image stock companies began to assert their rights by spreading lawyers and cease and desist upon websites who violated their copyrights. Well anyone who is a bit informed knows that this can be a quite expensive experience. In order to be save, I decided to use the fast and possibly most radical solution.

Anyways. As I'm no more a student and as I have a nice job, I can't spend so much time any more on administring the website :-/ But: The MGC has never been forgotten. At least I've replaced my old, ancient and self made 'ContentManagementSystem' by a MediaWiki. Thus, the first step is done!

And the nex is done as well as I began today to introduce some structure.
