FAQ

  1. Where the hell do you find these things?

    I regularly go to a few websites, and if I find something rather cool, I put it up here so I can be sure that the image isn’t going to disappear or turn into mr. goatsie on me. 9/10 of the time I can give credit to where it’s due, and even hopefully help the original owner turn a profit on their merchandise (posters, t-shirts, games, etc, etc)

  2. I have this sweet image, how do I tell you about it?

    Upload it to the site! Under no circumstances should you e-mail it to me or try sending me an IM with a link to it. I’ll just ignore you.

  3. Is there a RSS feed for MCS?

    I do! It’s a beautiful feedburner feed. With feedburner I can see how many people are subscribed, and what my circulation is like. You should see a link to it on every page on the sidebar.

  4. You have a copyrighted image that I’m forced to ask you to remove.

    If this is the case, call off the lawyers, I’ll just take down the free publicity that you’re getting, I’ll say something to the effect in the post, and there won’t be much of an issue. Funny pictures aren’t worth being sued over. You will need to e-mail an admin (see below for contact information) Due to past hoaxes and false requests, requests in the comments can and will be ignored. Take down notices must have these items included in them : your contact information, the name of the image that was copied, the address of the copied image, a statement that you have a good faith belief that the material is not legally posted on MCS, a statement that, under penalty of perjury, you are is authorized to act for the copyright holder, and your signature (digital equivalent acceptable) It would help expidite matters if you linked to a copy of the image on your own servers, where the image is displayed in a professional manner. See examples of past images that have been removed.

  5. Can I advertise on your site?

    Yes you can! I’m using Project Wonderful. When you sign up to advertise, your banner is shown on every page, immediately to the right of the site banner, in the right column, or the left column.

  6. I’m trying to leave a comment, but I can’t figure out how!

    Only registered users can post images or comments, so feel free to sign up for an account (link at top).

  7. Dude, can you remove the gay-ass watermarks?

    If you’re seeing watermarks on the images, then either you’re not viewing them through this website (rss reader, hotlinking, etc) or the webserver is on fire. The first one you can easily fix, just click through to the actual page with the image on it. The second one..um, donate fire extinguishers. (see Hotlinking for more information)

  8. Hotlinking

    I realize that the best publicity is from people in forums and other like places… so I’ve made it so that the image will show up, but with a nice lil watermark on the bottom saying where the file is hosted.

    If you see an image elsewhere that has the MCS watermark on it, you can find it here on this site WITHOUT the watermark, cause none of these are mine, I just found them on the net. Simply find the picture on MCS, and hit F5 a couple times for the original version.

  9. What affiliations do you have?

    The Tiki Web Group, LLC will tell you all the sites that currently fall under my banner.

  10. How can I contact you?

    THE BEST WAY : Efnet #myconfinedspace

    Or :

    E-mail me at myconfinedspace@passport.com />
    Y!:     myconfinedspace@yahoo.com (don’t bother e-mailing this, it’s never checked )
    Gtalk : tgiokdi@gmail.com (don’t bother e-mailing this, it’s never checked)

  11. Sweet Raptor Jesus, I found a post FROM THE FUTURE.

    OH SHIT. Be careful of your time traveling abilities, and use them for awesome, and not for evil. Or did you just click on one of the random posts, and came to a future dated post? Only logged in MCS members can access those pages. You see, I like to drink. A lot. You help pay for that (see #10 above) Unfortunately, that means that I’ll go for days on end without accessing the site, due to alcohol poisoning or being passed out in jail. To make sure that the site doesn’t got ‘dry’ (get it? heh) I set some posts up to be automagically posted on the site. Fortunately for logged in MCS members, you can get random access to them via the ‘random posts’ section at the bottom of every page. Have fun with that knowledge.

  12. Why the hell are there all these reposts?

    I’m a drunk. End of story.

  13. I want to promote a product / website on MCS

    Want to have your very own post pimping your wares? Just write up a post, put in your paypal e-mail address before your real title, and hit “save”.

    Then paypal $25 bucks to webmaster@myconfinedspace.com, with a note that references your post. I’d suggest including your post title with the paypal payment. Your post will be approved disapproved and shown on the front page on the sidebar for at least a month. I’ll remove your e-mail address from the post title, and you’re good to go.

    If your post is refused (which is incredibly rare, but it does happen) you will be refunded all monies, excluding paypal fees.

    If you have any problems, contact me.

  14. Since when we can have avatars in the blog?

    April 23, 2008. MyConfinedSpace uses Gravatars for everyone’s use. The idea behind gravatars is that you can have one image represent you everywhere you go.
    All you need to do:
    1.) Sign up with them, using the same email address that you used here on MCS
    2.) Upload an avatar to their servers.
    3.) You are now done.

    Through some coding magic, that avatar will now show up on MCS, and any other website that uses gravatars. You can trust the Gravatar people, due to the fact that they are also responsible for both wordpress and bbpress. Your e-mail address won’t be visible to anyone on the net, and you won’t get spammed. yay!

  15. Why are there so many pictures of “X” today?

    Today’s a special day! It’s a theme day! It used to be that Tiki would do all the posting for these special days but found that it was too much work, and nows asks for help from the MCS community. You’ll usually find the next theme day listed on the right hand corner of the site.

  16. Image Submission Instructions

    1.) Click browse, find your image
    2.) Click “upload now”
    3.) Enter a post title Must Be Descriptive Of The Image!
    4.) Put in some words Does your image have text on it? Put the words here. Your post can, and will be declined if you don’t do this
