Images on the net

Now I wonder how many of you have ever seen your camper/rig posted on the internet? I was just doing some research and Googled Lance 1161. And the 4th line down was IMAGES of Lance 1161 and mine with my boat (my signature image here) was the second one! What a surprise!!

It would be fun to see if yours shows up. I wonder how much other stuff is out there without permission, but maybe since this is a public,so to speak, place no permission has to be asked...I am sure the legals here will fill us in.

Post your results here. Funny and fun!

  • Yeah but its even more fun if you come across a photo of your rig that someone else took and posted that you did not know about.

    Everything posted here on RV NET is immediately posted on the internet for all to see. Same with most other forums.

    I use this to my advantage and in my signature line I have a couple of unique words that when used together almost shows all of my posted photos over time...

    If you type in GOOGLE these two words together 'K9PHT' and '14RT' and when it loads up then select 'IMAGES' you will view about 99% of all of my posted photos. I use this as a personal database as all of these photos all have the URL HTTP ADDRESSES assigned to the photos. I can add these photos to my 'Advanced Post Form' very quickly to re-post.

    If I add 'IMGUR' to google line I get even more of my photos...

  • If you belong to a few forums it happens a lot. If I Google my boat model I get hits on dozens of my posts because I've listed it in my signature.
  • It is neat though when you find one of your own pictures unexpectedly. Ive done that too and was quite surprised. But once you post a pic all someone has to do is right click and save it and its theirs. Even if you take it down they still have it. Go to Bing Images and look, you'll be surprised what's there.
  • What difference does it make...

    as far as I know anything that I post anywhere is probably in the public domain.

    Where did they get you campers picture... did they take the picture or did you post it on RV.net?

    Google PJay or sleepy... then 1161

    google AMSolar and sleepy

    or 'anything"

    everything we share is forever.

    Thats why people put a digital signature accross a picture that they have copyrighted... to keep from seeing it an advertizement ... to get paid if someone wants it

    BTW... 4 or 5 lines down is a picture and me and Janet on Mt Whtney and the camper... saw some others of our TC too.

    and a couple of boxes of books on our dining room table at home

    and another a picture of my hand written notes on how to build an airfoil

    And another picture of me on top of our camper installing the PVSolar panels a couple of weeks after you and your wife visited... Pjay, they were delivered while you were parked in our drive way


    Fun... I only spotted 3 people on all of those pictures... me, Janet. and Bill C... who helped me lift the AM PVSolar panels up and onto the roof of the camper.

    very interesting
