Dear All,

My apologies to anyone that my invite offended! I �m sorry that I copypasted for the invites, bad idea. I �m writing to try to clear up some things in this post.

I �ve been a member here for a year, and I �m enjoying to be a part of this community a lot. I am also glad that so many people here have taken and used my work that I uploaded.

I started my website, islcollective.com, out of good intentions to benefit those teachers out there (beginners especially) who can �t access ESLPrintables at the skill level they are at. I �d like these people to benefit from community teaching resources, also.�

Having launched a month ago, I pay for the website out of my pocket, and hope that advertisements and donations will help me sustain it in the long run. I �m definitely not planning to sell or redistribute the uploaded worksheets. Anybody who have uploaded can see that you can set by way of Creative Commons licenses whether you allow commercial uses by anyone or not. This project reflects my zero experience with a file sharing �endeavour and also my limited time. Our Terms of Use is a product of me adapting hastily and without too much thought a terms of use template used by a lot of file sharing websites. I will get that part out tomorrow to dispel the false impression that my negligence created. ISLCollective was set up for helping people, not taking from them. I will make sure this is properly reflected in our Terms.

As you �ve seen, I continue to post to ESLPrintables, because I benefited a lot from your work, and I wish to give back to you all, possibly even more than I got. I hope that you now understand my motivations and will not see iSLCollective.com as a threat or a trick. I �m sure it �s not gonna "steal" users from here, and nobody �s gonna stop using ESLPrintables. I hope that the my site can complement ESLPrintables, and in the end, hopefully, a lot more students will learn from interesting worksheets that we all share.�

Bless up,

Kisdobos
