A decision to all of you.

Hello to all, how are you today?
I have been reading a bit of the forums lately (yay for smartphones and non-FLASH site) to see that for some reason things have gotten a little bit strange and a lot of people just don't understand the difficulty it is nowadays from a time management perspective to cope with everything that goes on in our lives.
I have specially been touched by the post "Let's start again", where I saw that a hobby some people have and share with others may have only caused aggravation and sadness. I also saw that misundertanding and the way some people act do not sometimes qualify them as being proper adults.
Nevertheless, what I came to notice is that also to run this forum site,it depends a lot on the people who are in here, and making things happen. We cannot rely on the owners or admins to be here all the time. They do not make a living of it.
As such, I took a decision regarding the project I am doing in the "EVERYTHING ELSE" part, basically making a mahjong card game. I have decided to donate the concluded file to the site (as an entity, so to speak) and to the owners of it, who we all know. The only thing I ask is that, even if they use it to resell or something (not even sure is sellable quality or not), that my name is printed everywhere for people to see and that the original file is still here posted and available for download for everyone who wishes it.
I am sure I should be protecting it with a copyright and everything else, but I want this to be a trust and honor agreement between everyone on the site, and a focus for us to have fun and work and learn together, different people, different cultures, different view points. I will do it, and I hope it will bring some happiness again. Many people already participating, so I'm sure they will be pleased.
Jenn, Gemma, what are your thoughts on this?
Cheers to everyone.
