Just FYI, might want to do something about it.

[Dean C]

Thanks for letting us know. I've reported it for a piracy report :)

[ericgtr]

If it's not released wouldn't someone have to recreate it by hand?

[Mijae]

Not really, its a rip. Basically, they just stole all the images, and used the colors + code for header, etc.

[RichieBoy67]

Why? Were you selling it????

If you are so concerned about this type of thing you should block right click access...

Thats so easy to get around its not worth the pain it would cause everyone else, there is no way to prevent this thing from happening, the source code is right there for everyone to see ;)

Whats this about me selling it? If I was to sell a ripped off layout, you think I'd be warning the site with the original layout? I mean, wtf?

On a second note, you do know you can just click View > Source code instead of right click? Right click only keep the stupid away.

[RichieBoy67]

I didn't mean any offense so no need for the WTF... I was just asking if you were selling it..... geez... wtf right back at you...

I guess thats the chance you take on the world wide web......

and I was referring to disabling the right click for your images.

dude, you must really be bored.....

[mholtum]

and I was referring to disabling the right click for your images.You should do that on your site, give me the URL and about 2 minutes. Then I will send you all your images. :)

[Mijae]

dude, you must really be bored.....
Me? No, I just landed on that site searching for some material.

Heh @the offended by wtf.

[Jaxx]

dude, you must really be bored.....

Why does he have to be bored to report piracy?

Some of us actually pay for the works of others and feel slighted when someone just comes along and steals it for themselves.

[Logikos]

Why would someone rip that style anyways...

[Niceboy]

I have see this style Is use in many site and also i see it for Download if anyone need to report them then let me know i send u the link.

live Wire : it is cool style.. u also need to make Re Search .. maybe your style is Also some one have Rip it.:D

[RichieBoy67]

Yes, I know that getting past the right click disabling is easy but it is not easy for the average joe that has to steal a style......

Too bad about your style getting ripped....

[Dean C]

Your average ripper is not your average joe - they'll be familiar with HTML and how to get around right click prevention :) Also I use right click all the time on forums to open a new tab from the menu. It stops functionality.

[RichieBoy67]

OK, I guess then there is nothing you can do at all and you just have to deal with it unless you go and copyright it or something there is probably not a thing you can do...

Just curious as to who is going to do what regarding this being reported. I mean, so what... it was reported. What next??? My bet is not a thing unless it was copyrighted....

Either way, it does suck. Fools like me go out and buy our styles....

[Mijae]

It IS copyrighted. It belong to whoever made it, its his intellectual property and he has rights to it.

an average joe would never be able to rip a vbulletin style if he doesn't know how to pass the "super duper right click preventer", js can even prevents view-> source, but again that doesn't mean anything. "You can get whatever you see".

[JsnakeJ]

I wouldn't use this style on my site even if it was for sale. I just don't like it. I think whoever stole it should be sued.

[Logikos]

Blah, i still think that style isn't worth ripping. Its a basic style if you ask me. Not much work or effort would need to be done to rip it.

[Sleepyk]

bad style to steal >.< god they must be lame

[deathemperor]

but good for a collection ^^

[Sleepyk]

^not even dude lolz

I think this discussion has served its course. If you see someone pirating vB.org modifications or any of the styles we use on this site then please do not hesitate to contact one of the moderators here and we'll take the necessary action :) Thankyou!
