OK all of you wonder what the winter is going to be like this season, it's the annual always trustworthy JR Persimmon Seed forecast, always correct unlike other spring or no spring forecasters!

So now in case you don't know what or how the persimmon seed can tell you the winter forecast here is where to read up from another always trustworthy source:

So today I went out to check on my crop of persimmons, got a bumper crop this year and we've had two small frosts and the weather report says low of 28F Tuesday night so that will be enough cold on them to take the old pucker factor out. I've over my 5 acres have 56 persimmon tress all native and lots of the female ones which put the fruit out. Don't have to worry about the critters getting them all before I get what I want.

Here is how good they look this year:

The trees are loaded:

Some of the limbs are so loaded they are sagging almost to the ground:

Going to make some real goodies this year! I have 3 pecan trees that I'm picking up pecans everyday now for all the nuts I need for my recipes.

Ok I've got off subject and kept you in suspense long enough!  Found plenty of seeds off of the driveway and got out the old razor knife to split them down the middle:

And the for the final result?

Spoons! Lots of Spoons! Not one fork for mild weather, and one knife! Get your shovels out and snow blowers ready snows a coming!

Here's a twist?

www.scootdawg.net/showthread.php?t=53784

The admin is clearly saying you can delete your own posts but not a thread, it would be deleting other's material. Now doesn't that just take the cake!

True and untrue. You can edit the original post and replace the content with "Deleted". It has no effect on other's material if you do it that way. Now if ADMIN deletes the original post then the software deletes it all.

Jim

What I was meaning Jim is if his software is like most one can delete any post they make in a thread. He clearly stated you can delete your post but not a thread you start. A post is just you making a post in any thread.

On most software if you open a new thread then the only way that thread can be deleted by just a member that made the thread is if you hurry before anyone makes a reply to the thread, deleting the very first post will also delete the thread. But if anyone posts on a thread then you can only delete the posts you made, the thread will remain, you can also modify the posts including your original thread title.  

On this software I can delete your first post yet leave the thread or delete the entire thread, it gives me a choice.

Also for him to restore your posts he more than likely had to go to his software support people and ask for it to be restored, most software companies do not give backup powers to forum admins?

Legally, for over 30 years, you hold the copyright for what you write.
Legally, for over 30 years, you have licensed your posting for the use by forum

All posters should know that anything they post on the Internet cannot be taken back.

Again not so. You have given permission for the forum to use "your" material as long as the material is on the forum. Should you choose to leave and remove your material then they no longer have that right. Since forums with the software let you post they also let you delete, edit, change etc.

Let's also not forget the owner of the forum that Jim is questioning uses a free software, he owns nothing. By the TOS of the software he's using he is in violation IMO. Line 14 of the software clearly states the material belongs to the poster. It's like anything else you own, if you own it it's your right to do what you want and not one place in the TOS says you can't delete your material and the forum admin has the right to re-post something that doesn't belong to him? Lets no forget that when you agree to the TOS you "give" permission for them to use it as they see fit as long as it is on the forum. If they want to keep the material then they should tell you in the TOS that it will forever belong to them and you cannot delete it once you post it. They clearly do not say this in the TOS.

That would be like saying if I buy a car and I don't like it and the original seller telling me I can't get rid of it?

In posting on the forum, you will have accepted the terms that this type of publication implies. In posting you are accepting that your content will be published by the site owner, and also that the site owner has the right to edit or delete your post as he sees fit.

In short my understanding is that while you are the copyright owner, by posting on the forum you have already given the site owner permission to use your work.

At www.steamboats.org/forum/ they specifically post that

All content on this site is copyright protected and may not be re-used without written permission.

-- which means you cannot remove without permission.

I have been on-line for over 30 years and posts on a forum have always been copyrighted by the forum.
For decades your use of the forum licensed them to use your words.

I'm sorry but neither of your link references support your conclusion? The first one clearly states that the material belongs to the creator and the forum has the right to edit, etc. but it mentions nothing about material that you own and then remove it as in Jim's case?

Also this forum deals with UK copyright a whole different animal. Also this thread is just an opinion and in several places the responding admin makes this statement:

The last link is a Viabullentin software forum just like the one that Jim was posting on, it has the same TOS and the one you mentioned. It would seem that for 30 years you have the wrong conclusion?

Now read line 15 of this forum's software provider's TOS:

www.proboards.com/tos

Even the software provider of the forum you listed has a vague TOS and makes no mention at all who the material belongs too?

phpbbservices.com/phpBB3/ucp.php?mode=terms

So I don't see how you can come to the conclusion you stated?

I've done about a hundred miles in one day on my 50cc. It about killed my backside and lower back. I had I take a few days off from scootin after that.

I can relate to this myself, even though my 250 is bigger and more comfortable to ride at over 60 years of age I felt the results of 816 miles on a scooter in a 4 day period. I left on Friday morning, got there that evening and came home on Monday. I was tired.
