You could just use the same thread, y'know.

Anyway nice, although the green in the scheme is a bit dark for all the other colors. It doesn't hurt the yes but looks out of place.

[K33nny]

Depressing, just not satisified I guess.

[58sniper]

I really like how the forum sections are spaced apart. It that info available anywhere? I would like to do that myself.

[Tony G]

I think a mod was released on this one. Search the forums. :)

[SaintDog]

I am not really a fan of green, although I am not going to review the colors (for that reason), although there are a few things to point out.

1. To me, it is too simple, not much really has been done other than colors changes.

2. When viewing a post, the post is shortened and is not the width of the forum.

3. Black on dark blue backgrounds is not very readable (the buttons)

Now that I have reviewed the board, I will go over what I missed that is very apparent, so the following question comes up:

Why did you rip buttons from Xelations button set and use them on your forum?

I don't remember you paying for those buttons or permission to use them so you should not even have 1 of them on your board, much less any of them (screenshots below).

Please remove them at once, else I will be in contact to have them removed.

[imported_plattopus]

Also the background is the same as Ravio's embossed dots effect (which I've seen on about 10 sites so far since ravio opened... even on Team Photoshop's vB skin).

[pixeldude]

note to all, i didn't make that current style... i didn't rip anything, flawedlogic made it if you have any complate's please talk to him on aol messenger

flaw3dl0gic is his sn

sorry for any problems caused with the button's i will contact him right away

[SaintDog]

Whether he made it or you made it, the images are still there and need to be removed now.

[pixeldude]

ight ill remove em right now, cause i gotta go back to school

[Tony G]

Yep, they look quite similar to me.

[SaintDog]

Still there, if not gone tomorrow, I will take further action to see that they are removed.

I hope you realize that it's only 2 pixels that are used and just because Corey did it with Ravio does not mean other people can do the same, it's a very simple pattern function in photoshop.

[imported_plattopus]

I understand that it's a simple pattern, but before Ravio opened I didn't see it on a single design... then as soon as it opened, 10 sites all used the same pattern.

[Tony G]

Well isn't that convienient, Hmm? :p

Known to happen I guess.

[pixeldude]

Saintdog the images are still there cause he says he made them, i would like to see the images made by who ever and your saying he ripped...

also as said befor with the background it's a simple design

[flawedlogic]

k,

lets just all drop this.

i remade all the buttons, so now if anyone wants to say i ripped again i will show them the .psd of everysingle button.

And as for the background, it's not ripped, it just gave me inspiration if you zoom it it's different then coreys.

If you still have a problem with this please speak up, otherwise lets just drop it all.

Thanks

-flawedlogic

[SaintDog]

Thanks for you cooperation, although there is still one image that remains, vb_bullet.gif is still from the button set. Sorry to be so picky, but unless you created it, you have no reason to use it without permission.

If that's the case then no one is allowed to use other peoples techniques, any from the beginning. Just because Corey made it or used it "first" which I doubt doesn't mean other people aren't allowed to use the same style or pattern.

100% totaly aggred

[Tony G]

Well sometimes they don't wish for that to happen, is that so bad?

[imported_plattopus]

Personally, I wouldn't be able to look at a design if I had ripped it from someone else. The thought that I don't have an ounce of originality would be very uncomfortable for me... but you're OK with it, so more power to you.

And it doesn't matter if it's just 2 pixels, a rip is a rip, and unoriginality is unoriginality.

[Tony G]

I agree that originality is a necessity on a forum. Just going and taking others ideas brings it down. If you want it like everyone elses that fine but it won't stand out from the crowd.

[pixeldude]

we didn't take anything......

[Tony G]

Oh no? I can see some things I've seen on heaps of another vB's.

[[WiZZarD]]

We are just frantically looking for things to report...
If I made the buttons,then I wouldn't care if you ripped them. Doesnt look like they are that hard to make,looks like a job of 5mins tops.

Now if it was something that tooks me days and months then yes i WOULD care,but not over a lil ole button. And yes i know Xelation is a well know artist,and should be respected and whatnot,but if he freaks out over a little button then,something is wrong :P Just my 2 cents.
And if the button job is alot harder than i said,PLEASE correct me.

[Tony G]

Like I said, it doesn't matter if it's quick or not. If he was the creator and doesn't want them used, is that so bad?

[K33nny]

Originality? I just went to your website and I see this lime green dashed line... Abulada Monano used that in 1989, you're not being original. You see what I mean? It makes no sense, it's a technique used in Photoshop, Corey isn't the originator and with a program like photoshop you can do things in more than one most of the time.

I respect what Corey does and a lot of the other skinners for vB, although I do not agree with just picking up buttons and taking them, but telling someone that they can't use a certain technique because someone else did is stupid.

That's like telling SaintDog he can't use gradients or a 3d flower as the symbol for vBT because some hippy did in 1960's.

I think I've proven my point.

And really, I don't mean to sound like I an arse, I just wanted to prove a point. :)

[Tony G]

Your sounding like one, because you went as low as personally attacking a forum for your point. At what point did I say I was original? I didn't, and never will as a matter of fact.

So next time before you go accusing a forum of something think that they will think in return.

[imported_plattopus]

You haven't proven your point... you've completely evaded the topic at hand. You're also proving how immature you are by fighting about it like a little girl.

I'm not dissing you personally, I was just pointing out that you have ripped another designer. It's not important if someone made something in 3 seconds or 3 months, if you copy it, that's wrong.

The fact that you have ripped 2 separate designs/designers in the same site also leads me to believe that you are unoriginal on the whole... not just that you decided to use one particular effect because you liked it. It looks more to me like you lack any real talent, motivation, or whatever to create your own design...

I'm not meaning to put you down as a person, and I'm not saying that you don't have talent... I don't know your work... but ripping 2 designers at once isn't going to buy you many brownie points with the people who are concerned.

[Obi-Wan]

Well, I think you've done it again m8....

Very nice color scheme :D

I wasn't attacking a forum, I think you're referring to me mentioning SaintDog and vBT, so yeah I wasn't attacking him but using his graphics as point, that's all.

Not sure what to say to that, were you talking to me? I think so... not sure. Well at least I know I wasn't talking to you in my posts, only plattopus...

Originally posted by plattopus You haven't proven your point... you've completely evaded the topic at hand. You're also proving how immature you are by fighting about it like a little girl.

I don't understand how I was "fighting" and being a "girl". I was simple using things as examples to prove my point, which I did whether you think so or not. My point was just because someone does something, doesn't mean someone else can't do the same thing. BUT I do not condone the theft that occured with the buttons, clearly can see that it was taken.

I haven't ripped anything, wrong guy.

I'm glad I didn't rip anyone... but uh


I don't know who Tony or Plattopus is talking to... :(

[Tony G]

Umm, was there any content in the post?

[K33nny]

What?

[imported_plattopus]

He doesn't know when someone's talking to him... obviously I was referring to the ripper in (the majority of) my post.

[K33nny]

Sorry :(

[SaintDog]

Let's just leave it at this as this will be the last off-topic post allowed before this topic will be closed. Any further bickering will also close this thread.

Yes, the original poster did rip, I have spoken with him and with the exception of one (last time I checked), he has removed the graphics.

There is no need to bring everything into something that I can easily handle by speaking with the owner of the board in which ripped from vBT or Xelation.

Please, keep on topic or this thread will be closed.

[Tony G]

When I posted that kenny you didn't have anything in your post. But you edited it after I had posted it. Sorry for that mis-understanding. :)

So yes, back on topic. :)

no i did not

[SaintDog]

It has been very obvious, graphics were ripped from Xelations button set. If you are the owner of the board, which you very much appear to be, you take repsonsiblity for your board, regardless. Quit denying what I, as well as others, viewed in plain sight. One of the images from his set it still being used, I don't care if it is one or all, you don't use things you don't have permission to use, simple at that.

You can rip everysite and everything you want, when someone takes the time to slap a lawsuit on you or your parents, I am sure you will not take things so lightly. When there is clear proof, there is not denying it, regardless of what you may think, hear, or read.

A rip occured, it was your site, and you were busted. Live with it or not, I don't really care but you (and others) are not going to sit here and argue about it here at vBT. The name of the website says it all, this is not a bickering forum.
