i think the Princeton university dictionary have a different definition of the word "steal" than you have...
anyway this is just fun...

I think kiril asked the owner permission first

verify your sources, never ask your friends... in the business, a friend and your closest enemy...

I paid kiril 100$ to fix up my board to make it look good ok

Hmm. Uncalled for? From the way it sounds, this guy paid someone money for a custom skin and got ripped off. Which makes him a victim, and not a suspect.

Now when he says that he "doesn't mind" having a stolen logo / graphic on his site, then that's where he is wrong. But that's not up to me, you, or anyone else to decide. That's up to the original creator of the stolen work.

Seriously. Don't just jump into this topic just to be an +++++++. That makes you look extremely foolish.. Unless that's what you're going for? If that's the case, then, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/02/1.gif

i wouldn't have paid 10$ for the job he have done with your site...

i'm not attacking you, you asked for a review of your site, and make you face what your site is on about... you have a stolen logo, and an ugly style...

1- never use someone else's identity to make your own... it's the same as using Microsoft's logo and say "i'm not related to Bill Gates at all"... use your own brain if you want to have your own identity.

2- browse the net to see if someone is offering custom style for the budget you have... your friend is not a friend if he accepted the 100$ without having a single sense of design and respect on anything...

3-... never put the blame on your friends anyway... you are the one who accepted the result.

can someone close this thread now please

review now done

I think your site has been reviewed yes sir.. LOL!

stick to the subject at hand - reviewing a site

if a style/logo is stolen please report it to the owner of style/logo; we are not the copyright police

Just two minor recommendations I have to give, since I have no comment on any copyright stuff, nor any expertise to know who stole what from who:

1. It's a bit difficult to know what your forum is about, since it suggests general discussion but has a logo which would suggest music or something. Basically, a bit of description on the home page is needed to say what the forum is all about.

2. Longest domain ever, and for a general forum, it seems to have nothing to with the domain, since the main website is totally different. If it's for your main domain site, I'd say update the forums to reflect the style and such. If not... possibly get a domain specifically for that forum.

3. Get a new logo which matches the colour scheme at the topic.

4. Get some new smilies? You have very little for a general discussion type forum...

5. You have 6 totally dead boards lying around, so fill them with some content. Basically, start posting in those unused ones, since the Boiling Point! and Forum Games forums shouldn't be too hard to start lots of topics in...
