I'm sure the current owners would be fine with it*, but messing around with the contents of server for the purposes of anything other than fire fighting may not be looked on too kindly.

*and as soon as they indicate that they are, I'll do it :)

Look, I realise this is jut a bit of harmless goading, but in a rare moment of seriousness, I'll explain why:

Cowardice is not the issue, respect for the owners is. When real problems have arisen, I've waded straight in to fix them without asking and waiting for permission since it's understood by all that the sooner they are fixed, the better. I don't own the site; the past and present owners have placed a significant amount of trust in the fact that I only access the server when something really is wrong and needs fixing and not to make arbitrary changes (no matter how harmless) for fun.

If you paid 10K for a site, would you be happy with unauthorised changes to it's branding by one of the site members?

I realise that, but perhaps not everybody understands the reason :)

@ Karlos

I've just removed me foot from my mouth for a second to say , sorry mate I wasn't really expecting anyone to take this thread seriously, I thought that some folk would put up their own versions of the logo that they had made up or A.org would be putting up it's own xmas logo (not sure if they do usually)...

Anyway apologies for causing you such strife and I'm just re-inserting my foot back in me big gob again... :)

I don't think he was referring to you - just attempting to evade another row about the site ;)
