Those animations are pretty cool, but who made them? Where are they from? Why hasn't the poster provided any credit, a link, on any further information at all?

I would have, but I can't because I'm not on her friends list.

I'm "the poster" in question, I take it?

I dunno man, I ffffound them. If you desire creator credit, you'll have to seek it, because I found them on an image aggregator. Hope that helps?

So you are!

What kind of image aggregator? Did that not have a link either?

It drives me nuts when people copy other people's work without credit. It's usually so easy to include a link back to the original, but once one person's failed to do that, anyone who passes on is probably going to be at a loss too. It's annoying to me as someone who makes this sort of thing, and annoying to me again as someone who's interested in it and will probably want to look up the creator when I see it.

I'm sorry my behavior on my blog annoys you.

eh, it's not like it's just you. There's a culture in parts of the internet of just reproducing stuff without credit, links or any further information, that I really do not get: It seems insulting to both creators and audience.

*shrugs*

Sorry to give you a hard time, it just seems like such an easy thing to do right, on the whole.

I'm actually in agreeance with you for the most part, it's just my funny little old personal blog, and I've never really thought it mattered with crap I post there.

Heh... I guess my suspicion is that the whole problem of arbitrary non-attribution largely stems from people thinking what they post doesn't matter that much - but then, stuff gets reposted from any old place, and on a pretty regular basis it ends up with many thousands of people seeing these awesome creations with no way to find out who made them, or how, or how to find more!

So... that's why it bothers me, if that makes sense.
