ABOUT CARD SITES or PHOTOS or Graphics
Even if you meant well and even if it was all in fun ....
Posting any web page that comes from any card site can get our group shut down because those cards, even though can be sent to people through that particular site, they cannot be copied and added to another web site as this goes against their copyright. The group can be shut down because of Copyright Infringement.
It's a serious thing......
For Example at Send4Fun, in their TOU (Terms of Use) says....
Copyright: Files and language used on this site are either copyrighted by Send4fun.com and it's licensors, or are public domain. Do not copy any files or language from this site without permission.
If permission was granted to you, you must post the email with the permission from the site to keep our site in the clear of any legal action.
If no permission was sent or received by you...please refrain from posting a Copy of any of the photos on any card site ...and when you do, make certain that photo(s) are not hot linked.
MSN frowns on anything that is Hot Linked and a group can be shuttered because of it.
You may be aware of the term bandwidth stealing, this happens when you HOTLINK a graphic or picture. Several MSN groups have been shut down lately because of this. Please be careful !!!
I have noticed on the scavenger hunt that a few pics are taken and pasted direct to here..(bandwidth theft) members really need to be aware that this isn't allowed. And suggest that maybe the Managers here should check each pic and delete it if its a no no. Better to be safe than sorry. This is a fantastic group and it would be a shame to lose it. As it's high in the stat ratings..4th I think, then it will be a group that MSN might check on. 
Ps.. Bandwidth theft is when you right click on a pic or words, press copy and bring it back and press paste. The correct way is to .. right click then click "save picture as" and it saves to your own files. THEN you can download it and everybody and no one gets upset lol
