| Pictures Hello, like I said before...I'm planning to make a forum based on a television series. The television series is called Heroes. I can only find quality pictures on the NBC website but I don't know if I'll be able to use those photos for my banner. Do any of you know what I should do?

Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 13 Location: New Zealand | My answer was a bit tongue in cheek. I’d say just grab them and go ahead and use them, but that’s entirely up to you, and I’m not saying do that, (although I just did).  | ||||

| Hm...I think it would make the forum look good if there were pictures of the actual cast and so on. However, like I said before...I'm in doubt. I mean, where else am I suppose to find those photos?

| I asked someone and they said if it's a fan-based website, then we're able to use the image as long as we give them credit?
