japes Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 After many months of information and photograph gathering, research, and website development, ozarowana and I are proud to announce the launch of EartheatersAustralia, a community powered hobbyists guide to Eartheater species presently residing in the Australian trade. What is EartheatersAustralia? EartheatersAustralia is aimed at consolidating information that is quite scattered and also trying to get a general consensus as to which species of Eartheaters are actually here in Australia. While some species may still need a little work, the bulk of the website is complete and functioning. Please note that this is not a regular profile website; while it does provide information detailing how to successfully identify and differentiate certain species, it mainly deals with the availability of species within Australia. Photographs shown on each species profiles are all sourced from Australian hobbyists, and information regarding the status of many species came to us as a result of Eartheater enthusiast's contributions to various major Australian forums. Can you help? You most certainly can and we welcome any hobbyists contributions towards the website. If you have reasonable quality photographs you would like added, believe certain information is incorrect or needs adjustment, or currently own a species not on the list, please contact ozarowana or myself via forums or email. If you run into any errors on the website please also feel free to contact us so we can fix it as soon as possible. With Eartheaters starting to come back into fashion recently, we hope this website helps beginners and experts alike with their love of Eartheaters. Thanks, japes & ozarowana.

japes Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Unfortunately we've had a slight technical issue, basically the owner of the QLDAF, Glen, claims he owns the website - needs a lesson about what intellectual property is. He's sent in a DMCA claim to our provider and the website has been temporarily disabled. If you have photographs on the website, please email [email protected] and state a reprisal of permission to use and request removal of them immediately.

Yes I noticed this and have left that forum as a result, deleting all my posts and photos as well. Totally disgusting but its not worth dwelling on. If that version of website can be legally claimed to be his, the copyright of photos will always belong to the original owners so perhaps you can re-do the website, make enough changes to be different enough and then continue to update the new site. Australia is small enough that all eartheater fans will know whats happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japes Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Back online, will put some new photos up shortly. Please note that http://www.eartheatersau.net is the 'official' version of EartheatersAustralia (written, hosted, operated by the owners). Please refer to the top paragraph of the index for a brief outline of what has happened. If anyones interested in the full story, feel free to PM me.
