Advisory on the posting of Images and Content

Post by dranoel » Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:31 am

Hi Everyone,

It's truly encouraging to see the steady increase in the forum activity, coinciding with the launch of Art of Star Wars. In the midst of eagerness to share news with the community, however, we noticed that several postings have been directly linking images off other sites. We would like to advise all members to refrain from doing so, as this eats into their bandwidth, without generating useful traffic nor promoting awareness of their sites.

We seek everyone's cooperation to follow the Tips provided below. Conversely, we hope that the images and content from starwars.sg would be treated likewise by our visitors.

Quick Tips on posting images
  • Avoid direct linking of images from other sites
    Instead, provide a url link to the site, for our viewers to follow through
    Alternatively, upload the image to free image hosting services
    But always give credit to the source of info, and include a url link to their main site

Example:
The Singapore exclusive version of the Art of Star Wars official exhibition book has been released by the Singapore Science Center! This book will only be available at the exhibition, and there's a limited print of only 3000 copies. The full article and images are online at :
