http://www.vb-host.com/forum/images/smilies/spam.gif I thought you were finished advertising for these guys this afternoon..

I was playing the sims earlier... there is a computer you can buy for 2k looks just like this one just no smile face... maybe these guys can go sue the makers... I mean they seem like such a big corp after all http://www.vb-host.com/forum/images/smilies/lame.gif

fair enuff im wrong im a spamer, and yes i work for barrysworld!

its not a case of looking like it! its a case of using the actual image.

which im sorry i dont know eher you got it from but its been ripped, maybe not by you but by someone.

theres just too many similaritys for my liking.

I mean look at it this way. the images on barrysworld are identical to that in your sig (except your`s is condensed to fit the space)

Then the text in your sig for vb-hosts.com looks very much like the text on barrysworld for there header.

it just seems a bit iffy to me

This thread is getting out of control. Please take this off vB.org as it has nothing to do with the thread topic. It is not vB.org's position to judge if the images have been ripped. If people suspect this is the case, feel free to contact the owner of the copyright of the images.

If things don't get back on-topic, I will be closing this thread.

I guess what I'd like to know...is why you joined this community with a different username...PMd me to ask me if I wanted web-hosting from you....

and now your username has changed. Am I the only one that got a PM from this guy offering web-hosting for my vb?

Man, this is gonna sound like a noob question, but I can't learn without asking; How can I check how many queries each page executes?

GaleForce, install TECK's vBmicrostats hack :).

you were 1 of 5 people i made this offer to here. I liked your site so offered a nice gesture.

come on people! It's a freaking image! I for one, have heard of barrysworld, but have never actually gone there. I've also never heard of vb host until now. Barrysworld is a large company, vb-host is pretty small in comparison. I doubt the owner of barrysworld gives a hoot. I mean c'mon, what's he gonna do? Yea he could sue them, but he'll probably end up spending more money in court then the settlement! Not to mention that there's more than likely no hard proof of this. The guy says he has a CD with the image on it in jpg, gif, and psd. If he proves this on court, barrysworld will be laughed at for making a big deal out of something so stupid. It's an image, not a big deal, not a big deal AT ALL.

edit: and to answer the question, i get about 37 on the home page. And about 197 in a thread, roflmao. Maybe I have too many hacks? :ermm:

Way too many! You really want less than 30 per page ;)

35 on forum home.

And give it up with the image thing please. This thread
is about database queries. You two sound like two school
girls fighting over a image and a ugly one at that. Put down the
hand bags girls. :)
