Please rate my forum. We're a miscellaneous forum where we talk about everything ranging from politics, to gaming, to computers, to media. The current default skin is ripped from another site. This forum has been up a little over one year and it has been my main hobby.

The forum statistics are: Threads: 6,904, Posts: 57,488, Members: 4,664.

Please rate my forum with these aspects in mind, all on a rank of 10 (10 being the highest):

Any suggestions?

I was doing a little snooping around earlier...I like it!

Would you mind if I registered?

Pathetic. Do NOT rip other peoples skins.

I am a mod on http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/ and you will be hearing from us soon. I would like an admin to remove this.

Well I've tried to contact Garry but he never answers. Only reason we copied your skin is because I love facepunch. I looked at the bottom of your site on the footer and I didn't see anything about a copyright about he skin so I assumed it was okay to replicate. There was some other site that did the same (blogpunch?) and they said Garry didn't care.

I even said "The current default skin is ripped from another site." Don't worry, we're in the process of creating a new skin anyway.

My MSN is twolvesfan624@msn.com if you want to talk to me.
We're a small community so I don't see what differnce this makes for you...

None of the images are copyrighted, not even the logo. There is no copyright at the bottom of the website regarding the skin.

Ah thank you so much, UgLy-NeRd. Does the work ethical mean anything to you? Just because it isnt copyrighted doesnt mean it allows you to rip it pixel by pixel, including the logo.

When you take time to create something for your site, it is a little unfair to see it stolen by another for their benefit because they cannot take the time to come up with their own style, they cant even come up with their own logo.

<i>No offense, but nobody ever said life was fair, Ace. Anyway, if it were me, I'd be damn flattered! Haven't you ever heard the term, mimicry is the most sincere form of flattery?</i>

You Fail. Regardless of what the website says, our logo is copyright, you would do best to remove it at the very least.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
