filburt, I know you might get mad cuz I used your style of the forumhome, I am deeply sorry.

Note: filburt, your style for the forumhome will be changed within a week, i am very busy with school these days, sorry!

[Tony G]

Too dark for my liking, doesn't look very lively.
The design is nice, header is too. :)
Too many forums for your member base IMO.

[phrozen1221]

Wow, not bad, quite impressive...

[filburt1]

I suggest you rethink the forumhome look that you copied from WDF before I write a cease and desist letter.

[phrozen1221]

Oh come on... just let him ahve it hes not harming anyone...

[filburt1]

It's called violation of copyright and intellectual property laws. I worked months on WDF to get its style the way it is today and I'm not about to have other site try to copy it.

[Tony G]

Filburt has a point, he should have asked before he used it and so he's still in breach of the copyright laws on WDF.

[CannonFodder]

the way he did it, yes i agree totally that he is in violation of copyright laws...

though, i did get the idea for this from you filburt, but you cant really smack anything on me, and i think AvIO might want to consider doing it something like this... http://www.podesign.co.uk/vb/index.php?styleid="20" (yes i did buy the vBT design, and modded it heavily (with many of your template edits, filburt, as you can see =P)
... you can see on mine that it still has the default forumbit table set ups, i just moved them around and combined the posts and threads part (and no i didnt get THAT part from you, i`ve done stuff like that back before i found out about vB).

but i think AviO should use something like i did if he is going for that type of layout... i dunno

[filburt1]

(clickable: http://www.podesign.co.uk/vb/index.php?styleid=20)

Eh, yours look pretty similar too, you just don't have the icons (which can be dynamically turned off on mine).

And seesh yeah, you do have a lot of my released mods installed :p

[CannonFodder]

* nod * nod *

[Tony G]

Thats not always a bad thing. ;)

Although it does look alot different. :p

[eddieeddie]

-You pretty much copied the css from vbskins.com

-You stole images from vbskins.com (resized and altered them a bit)

You images have the same exact pattern of light, they are a bit smaller and less clear

-Look at the background in both - ITS THE SAME
-You copied the style of the header


It looks a little different, but you obviously stole images and ideas. Not cool at all.

[Tony G]

Whats the styles name that he allegedly took these from, eddieeddie?

[CannonFodder]

neXus i believe... and what's to say he didnt buy them and legally (err) alter them?

[Xyphen]

filburt1, if you say so, i will change the style..
sorry about me not taking permission first..

+ I didn't steal anything from anywhere....

Also i knew some people on the forums will create trouble for me.. like the edie guy trying to get me a bad name...

Edit: Also please don't flame someone without knowing whats going on, that would be apperciated, how would you know if "I did" or "did not" pay vbskins.com? -_-

[Tony G]

Even if he did, the copyright doesn't exist for that style.

But I'm not alleging anything.

I don't understand what you mean?

[imported_Jamie]

Nice forums dude.
Liking the colors, overall great design.

[Tony G]

I meant, that bought styles (like from vbskins.com) usually have a copyright from their site.

I happen to know someone who knows him. This person told me that he saw their style and copied it as close as possible.

If he did buy it, then there is NO RAVIO (vbskins) COPYRIGHT NOTICE.

Thats how I know. I do not try to give people bad names, I respect all the hard work that people put into their styles and ideas. I have sent an e-mail to corey from vbskins, since you "paid" it will not matter right?

Every single color is exactly the same, a lot of the images are the same. You did steal them, it would be in your best interest to just make a new and original style; or pay for it from vbskins, and add their copyright, and everything is fine.

[Xyphen]

Please stop the fighting, thank you very much!

[eddieeddie]

Well this was in my e-mail, it appears as if the post got deleted:

And in case he changes them really quickly, I attatched a screen that will prove this. PM me about that $1,000.

[eddieeddie]

Oh, and if you say those are from the same site, just look at the side that is a tiny bit different.

[Xyphen]

That isn't made by vbskins fyi. Those Icons were used way before vbskins every came out. Eddie, you think your too smart? Think again.

And about the $1000, I won't even give you a single CENT, cuz those icons are not ripped. Let me repeat, those icons were not created by vbSKINS for NEXUS.

[filburt1]

This is your final warning to remove WDF's design from your site. The next step will be a cease-and-desist letter, and after that if I see fit, legal action, not to mention Jelsoft revoking your license for having violated its agreement (violation of copyright laws).

Im ganna close this thread, if you have any un-resolved issues please take them up in private.
