How about protection/copyright?
Hello, l shall introduce myself? I'm Gigi and I'm collecteing since 2002 animation gifs around the world, its a amazing hobby to have, and we also make our own animation gifs.Those images you retrieve are partly shown on Gigi's Place. All this is a hobby, and we are very proud that we can offer this entirely for free, we are sponsored by no one , we are therefore an independent website and we pay everything out of our own pocket, and this way it will be always remain. We know that some animations are protected by authors right/copy rights, unfortunally this is not always very clear because animated gifs circulated rapidly over the web. Therefore we cannot guarantee that all animation gifs are 100% free from protection/copyrights. May an interested party wants to see his/her work removed from this website, please contact us by E-mail.
Can we take images from "foto album"?
Yes you can, all images are owned by Arch en Gigi, and members from this group, but there is an exeption. Dont take pictures, or samples from member albums (albums van de leden) without asking to be sure. Ofcourse there the same like the images, please dont hotlink them to your own homepage.
I like some ideas from this site, can I use it??
Wel, there's something different. We are very cooperative and like it very much to join together, together we're strong. But we prefere always the "asking" method. We dont like it when people "steel" ideas from us, to build copy-homepages just like us.. When you want to used something just dive into the Forum (we're almost always every day overthere) or send an email to us.. We dont bite.
About Arch en Gigi
We've started early 2002 after buying our first real computer, and fot the first time internet. Within a few weeks we've claimed our first domein archengigi.nl. Our wish was to create a chatroom. We were always on TV chat, and that was lots of fun, but not cheap. There were lots of chatters who searched for alternatives, like Ginger and Martine we did know from TV chat. But we didn't know enough about html en webbuilding, so we started with a MSN community for the chatroom, we linked at to our domain. We filled the domain with pictures, poetry, and games.. In the meantime that domain became very dusty, while the MSN community was growing each day, we build it out to a grown website with more than 500 pages, 1000 members and more than 20.000 animated gifs. Gigi opened "Gigi's Place" on the domain gigivanarch.nl but she couldn't build it big, because she had only 20 MB storage room. After 2 years we had enough from MSN, they're already had taken away for 3 times our community away without any notice, and after building it all up again every 3 times, we deceided to start all over again on a brandnew domain; archengigi.com, archengigi.info and archengigi.net, with total storage room 3000 mb's and enough knowhow to build in PHP forums, image album, chat and intergrated index page. After 2 months we deceided to transfer our .com domain to another server, and unfortunally we couldn't transfer the forum content succesfully to the new server, so we did put all manualy from the one to the other. Now we have to start again all over. We hope that it will be twice as much fun as we used to be on MSN. Gigi's place is alreadyfilled with more than 200 pages, more than 500 pages on the total .com domain, and thats just the beginning, we're innovate every month, and always open for suggestions and ideas, so let us know if you are missing something overhere. Grtz and hugs from all of us!
