Now, while Gaia has the legal right, that doesn't make it moral. It's because of the recolor ad, but guess what? Say if I had adblock off and he had google ads....I could be seeing competitors every single time I go there...Gaia should've acted sooner and gave him more options than just shutting it all down (he could've left the ad and gradient text generator...who would pay money for that? Move it to angelfire so no one will ever look at it)

Anyway, it's done and over with, tektek.org has been shut down now...pretty much.

The recolor ad was an avatar site he made and was advertising. The advertisement was directly coded into the site and was the only thing he was advertising.

Tektron has made a lot of comments in recent years on how he dislikes the state of where Gaia is now at. He is refusing to talk negotiate or talk to Gaia about the situation, and the letter to him was pretty much his last straw with the people. He WAS advertising his own avatar site anyways.

Gaia wants to negotiate but they are asking him to run the site without the advertisement for his site. Which I disagree, the man should be allowed to advertise his own website. If Gaia truly felt threaten by his advertisement of a site, then that's truly pathetic.
