Please don't go against me now, i just had a lot of time in my hands and did this style since i couldnt think one of my own :P

Peace!

If your style is 100% identical to vb.org smooth blue style, as your first post admits, then you are stealing our copyright which belongs to vB.org as donated by DirectPixel, and you need to cease using that style immediately.

You admit copying the style because you "couldnt think one of my own". How you copied it doesn't matter - it makes no difference that you made the images yourself - so what? If it's 100% the same, it's copyright infringement and illegal.

If the style is substantially different however, then it would be okay.
