Probably just full search in addition to the ability to see other poster's previous posts/threads.
Or perhaps not.

Maybe we're getting signatures at the bottom of every post so we can all do this

So if they ask the thread creator for permission, this is no longer an issue, right?
This is the biggest problem for me. They didn't ask they guy who actually spent the time writing the original post. He is fine with it though so it's not too bad.
If I made a cool thread and it got posted to another site that's be pretty cool. It'd be cooler if I was asked permission and given credit straight away though.

I mean, I get asking EviLore for permission too as it's his forum but not asking the guy who wrote the stuff you're using as an article with ads etc seems like a dick move.

Depending on the jurisdiction, the creation of this thread may or may not act as sufficient publication of the TOS change to be binding. The irony!

Also, Evilore, you now own this. We'll split the profits and live like kings!

I don't think the current version of the forum software supports that, actually, or I would have. When we update to the newer software in a few days, in order to get full search back and other features, I can go ahead and do that if it'll clarify things for people.
Um, MEGATON! Once full search (and maybe, ahem, "Find threads started by...") come back, all of this TOS outrage will be forgotten. What's next, return of :lol smiles?

A guy can dream, can't he? ;)

Are you mad about this? People are certainly concerned but it was your thread that was chosen.

That's not original.
 
I imagine this is just to prevent GAF from getting sued by somebody here because there wasn't this TOS before.

People are focusing on Kotaku, but the Destructiod thing is only a few days old and god knows how many other blogs/sites mentioned it. For two days some of the internet was like “Lol, look at those whiny Gaffers” while copypasting or linking to a list of specific posts from users. I'm probably wrong though.

Go back to sleep, NeoGAF. You are free to do as we tell you.

GAF is a place with laughs and groans
We post funny stories, we fight over phones
But along came new strife
"Does GAF own my life?!"
Can no longer call GAF my home...

It's a non-exclusive license. You still retain ownership/rights to your work. This is a "cover our asses" clause and a "when some site asks me politely if they can highlight some NeoGAF post they think is cool there isn't some huge controversy, even though they could just NOT ask me and republish anyway without anyone giving a damn, like Destructoid just did a few days ago and other sites have done hundreds of times.

This should be put in OT because it seems people coming to this thread are still thinking that it is about license transferring.

Also, can't that long as hell sentence from the ToS be rewritten so it would be easier to understand for us stupid people? The way it sounds now is really confusing.

If Evilore tries to steal my GAFworks, I will sue GAF into the ground. Wouldn't be hard. Then I'll make a new GAF. It'll be like starting a new civilization from being deserted on an island. We'll make it better.

Secondly, I'd like to state here and now for everyone to see that I am in fact the most brilliant artest of our generation.

They probably thought it was fine since they were giving Scoularis credit for that post, which is pretty cool. Asking for permission from the thread creator will nip this problem at the bud, but hey, we know people are going to argue about this for 15+ pages :p

Anyway, new forum software? Hype!

This is not a sellout like the internet users here describe. I like the idea and it gets some of the more focused discussion or content on this forum out there. This place can be the best but at times it can be quite idiotic. I still laugh at the GIF's and such but this move is a small move and won't affect anything about our normal everyday habits here. BUT since some of you like to blow it out of proportion.....
 
And still, if you're french/from europe, you can force any use of your text/creation to bear your name or pseudonim.

It's the paternity right which can't be sold/given.

Indeed. :D Even if it is just new old shit, can't wait.

Also need to read through the past several pages to understand what the fuck is happening here. :lol

EvilLore, perhaps I'm missing it, but I don't see anywhere that limits the license to works posted on NeoGAF. That is to say, as worded, the section seems to say that by registering and participating, I'm giving NeoGAF a license to all my IP, regardless of whether I posted it on NeoGAF or elsewhere.

As I read it, "...such submissions," doesn't constrain the previous, "all ...intellectual property rights you own or control." Perhaps you could post a (legally binding) clarification that "all IP you control" is limited to just that IP which is submitted?
Actually, "such submissions" doesn't even have a clear referent at the moment. Looks like the "By registering an account at NeoGAF.com and participating (including but not limited to submitting replies or private messages)" was grafted badly to the boilerplate following; "such submissions" in the boilerplate looks like it's meant to connect back to where we've got "participating (including..." now.

Your an enterprise now? That was fast.
 
And this is why I am happy I don't post pictures of myself on the net, and have threaten my entire family telling them not to post pictures of me, if there's a pic of me on the internet it was done without my permission....

Until the rest of NeoGaf 2 overthrows you and then sodomizes you with a sword....unless that's your plan!

I'd like you to endorse me, thanks.
Payment is not available, but I can endorse you back in turn.

Guys, there is an easy workaround to this. Every time you reply to a post, first preview the post. Then print a screen cap of the previewed post. Then mail that printout to yourself via 1st Class registered mail. Then in six months when you see that Evilore bought a new Ferrari by licensing your Pony fan art to Hot Topic, you'll have the goods to blow the whole damn lid off this operation.

Well obviously that's nonsensical and would never hold up legally, but I'll see about making it a little clearer.
I appreciate that.

Of course it's nonsensical in practice, it would be an absurd overreach. (Please note that I'm not accusing you of attempting such an overreach, I think it's just an oversight.) But grammatically it does make sense, "such submissions" refers to "all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and other intellectual property rights you own or control."

As always, this is your forum, and I'm not arguing against your right to adjust the terms in order for you to continue to provide it.
