its cause theyve ripped the style, there also more than likely running illegal vb.

riping graphics is not good, people think mages are free but theyre not.

so plz DONT take images u find on sites unless it clearly says your allowed to folks.

may wanna report these folk to there host or isp

I'm surprised anyone would be so blatant. That's an established forum, not something new. And the lead admin listed is an active member here, not just someone passing through.

Over 3,000 members over there and nobody questioned it? Seems very strange.

I don't know about the images but I thought I saw the style for download at vBulletinTempleates.com or one of those sites. It wasn't the exact style but very similar. I'm probably wrong though.

Reported, because even if they do own a license then they're in violation of it by copying copyrighted stuff (the images).

They even copied the vB.org bullet (that clearly states "vb" )

In their footer, it says
Quote:

Maybe they asked him for permission? Unlikely, though.
