hmm mmm... looks familiar...
In the past, we haven't gone after copyers. I think we should start. Virtualave is not very friendly to pirates and copyers.

While it is an obvious copy, it's like going after a child for attempting to copy a great work of art, in crayon.  If you are gonna go after someone, make it a sight that atleast still looks decent after they copy it. heh

Hey Allen, I think that "United We Stand" image they used is Tech's. If that's what you were talking about.

Did anyone here read his latest news post? Sorta makes me feel sorry for the guy.
I know it wasn't right for him to copy the design, but now I just feel weird about it all.

Jeez! That's horrible! Copying the whole layout like that, and then saying it's theirs. And age 13...lol, that just makes it funny. It is a horrible copy though...it doesn't have the "smooth"-ness that UBBDev has.

Taking the UBBDev design is a bad thing to do, but having read his news post made me realise a few things. I looked a little further than the internet, and I felt sorry for what went on in his life. However, he stole a design...but I do hope things work out good for him.

Two different things. Sure, I hope things work out, but he stole a design and made it look like the worst design around.

A thief is a thief is a thief... It's just that sort of feel sorry for someone and let them do wrong that is driving this country to crap.  I didn't read the news post or whatever there, I honestly couldn't care. Glad it isn't something I did that he stole, his site wouldn't be up for long.

Does he at least mention ubbdev anywhere on his site as where the design came from? I haven't looked. If not, make him slap it up at least with a special notice: "The design for this site was inspired by UBBDev.Com. I took that design and made it look like crap, enjoy!" * shrugs * I still feel for the guy though medical wise. I should know, I get MRI's done every year because of my heart. :| :| <-- why don't we have that smilie,  . just noticed. :

I only get bent out of shape about stuff like this when people use our logo or name on their site. Can you really stick a copyright on a tag or a font size? Of course not, because it's the content of the site that actually matters.

That's true. The only thing vaguely to his credit is that it's not an exact copy, as he didn't simply download the whole site and change the content.
