Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ha. Was wondering how long the subject of a potential fetch mile and cayke would take to appear on here!

Would have bet on it taking less than 74 pages though.

Of course Homer, who organised the Big Fetch Mile in Manchester Jan 2009 (together with his good lady Cheshire Lady) is now back on Fetch and training and nearly back to his 2009 self. So a 12 year anniversary reunion could be on the cards?! :-) G

Hoax is doing OK, in darkest Somerset. I used to visit him reasonably regularly when visiting people was a thing

Just lurking back a bit and have to admit to being very reassured by the amount of my work that is used and shared on the site as either profile pictures or on the gallery
as an example. So other people are posting more of my stuff on fetch than I do myself... does that mean I never lurked off ?

Also very heatwarming to see the evidence that the work does make a difference, been a bit hard during lockdown to find motivation and all work cancelled until 2021.

So, who remembers this then? name them all: animoto.com

That Race gallery from 2009 needs reloading doesn't it....

I trust it is all paid for stuff and not copyright theft.

yep Dio, the copyright stuff has big copyright words on it saying buy it. People, communities and forum owners of all social media have done a relatively good job over the years of learning not to let it ride, most people seem to understand it is a thing these days and it's a lot easier to get takedown requests sorted if it does thankfully.
Also more and more stuff is paid for by the event or sponsors as free event downloads - (like that saucony national XC example) - so the whole question is bypassed at source - which is great for everyone !

Covering at source is a good idea.
