If you learned something from someone, and advanced their work in some way, great. If you then choose to remove that information so others cannot use it - regardless of whether it's for personal reasons, personal gain or whatever - I believe that's totally within your right. If you want to protect the information for future generations, then you need to take action and copy it off. Just be aware, if it becomes "protected" (ie trademarked or similar) then be prepared for people to try and protect that info.

This is why we aren't in space, haven't explored the deepest depths of the ocean and are still fighting over oil instead of doing more to harness the energy of the sun.

I'm miffed that LT took his ball and went home, but I am sure what he did was for the good of himself and his family. He is far more important as a person than a pedestal with green PVC pipes on it.
All this stuff about not living in space or being a deep sea adventurer because of deleted posts is making my head hurt.

Not quite the messaging I intended.

I might have been twisting words a little, but I couldn't resist. :lol

I'm going to add this, then I'm going to STFU...
Trust me when I say Louis didn't take his ball and go home. He didn't take down his stuff, only to go post it somewhere else. He took down all his arcade stuff because, quite frankly, it was taking over and he needed to just quit, and this was the best way that HE knows how to do it. He's not doing this to punish US, he's doing it because it's how HE has chosen to take control of the situation. He told me this has happened with other hobby sites, and it works for him.
He's told me explicitly that he doesn't care about IP (admittedly, that was my word because in describing his posts and pictures, I thought it was more concise and eloquent than "my ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---"). I know for a fact he's done design and art for other people, and he sent me the plans for "The Tully" cabaret, which I fully intend to build. I'm sure he's proud of that. But in order to walk away, he feels like he really need to GET AWAY- again, not to punish us, not to withhold his ideas, but to give himself a reason NOT to go back. I can respect that.
I'll end with this- we all love the Mario Pedestal. But think about the level of determination, commitment, and even obsession that you would need in order to manually carve the same pattern into each and every block over and over again, and then use a ball-point pen to color each and every block over and over again. How many of us would be willing to do that? That's where he was at, and that's why he decided enough was enough.
