Rather than go to all this trouble and have people doubt your motives, why not make something completely original? I mean, who would want a style (even if it is a good one) that was inspirationally ripped from another to the point of looking very similar? I have no problems with inspiration if it is techniques and whatnot, but yours takes it too far imho.

- i have many styles that i've created myself...
- I do want this style (i like it) and A LOT more people that you can imagine want it too

Honestly, you're trying to justify using it when in fact it's not your idea or style. Legal or not you shouldn't be using it.

So if I go out and copy VBulletin's codes exactly and name it IBulletin is it okay because I typed it? The answer is still no.

So what if you re-drew everything, you still copied the design. A design that is copyrighted.

Make an original style. Don't copy DP's and call it yours. Not cool

Yep, you're right I've missed the point and that's why you're claiming credit for the design at the bottom of your site "SmoothBlue v2 Style By Injektilo."

So what if you rebuilt it from scratch. You rebuilt it to look exactly like thiers. you COPIED it.

Copied, Rebuilt, Stole, Borrowed call it what you want.

Guess what? You already have stolen it. You're asking for permission after the fact.

too bad...i am too young to go to jail :| Anyway, will stop ignoring your 'attack' and wait for one of the admins to let me know what i can do. FYI, in this whole thread i was ok with everyone, didn't criticise anyone's opinion...just read and kindly replied to everyone.

Roms · #59 03-18-2006, 07:40 PM

That fact that I'm telling you that you have stolen someones design doesn't mean that I'm attacking you. If you want to take it like that I guess there's nothing I can do, I'm sure many others will have the same "opinion" as me. I guess they'll be "attacking" you too. LOL

You take it lightly because you know there isn't much that can be done against people who copy others material.

I've said what I felt and I'm sure you don't like it but it's true.

Try to read...and understand.... What you said is already been said...but saying it 20 times, thats annoying.

I've just made a style 100% identical to vb.org smooth blue style. ALL images are made from me! (Did not copy them from vb.org) and i have the .psd for 'em.

My question is it illegal or ... not cool to use it? And if so, will it be ok to use it with different colors etc?

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! <---
