I am using this account strictly to contact other artists about the usage of their art.  I like to make forum templates using art from around here, but want to go about it the right way.

If you get a note from me understand that I will treat your artwork with the utmost respect as well as respect your wishes for whatever usage allowance you want or do not want.  I will NEVER use anyone's art without permission first!  And if I get rejected from using your art I will not complain or annoy you about your reasons.

If for some reason I contact you more than once and I have or have not gotten permission to use your stuff before understand it is an accident and not me being annoying or anything else.  If you do get multiple notes from me I do apologize ahead of time.
