I agree with that. And don't you think we should be able to trust each other to some extent on this forum? We're supposed to be professionals, right? I think it's funny Jake came down on John for not being professional, when he stole the design AND content of his peer. One thing is for sure, I'm not as keen on displaying my site here anymore.

For the record, I have my principles, and I won't shy away from expressing them. And people are free to disagree with me.

Well from what it sounds like, Jake got banned for the whole ordeal.

jonsimons · 10-16-2003, 10:18 AM

Is jake banned? can he still view the forum?

The person posting above you has the same IP as Jake. So, I'd guess, yes, he is viewing the forum.

Sites are freely displayed on the WWW, so anyone who wants to steal your design is going to. It's a question if individual ethics. I don't think posting here will make your site any more or less vunerable to being copied. Anyway this is a great resource. It would be a shame and a loss if people started shying away from it.

Yeah, I think I was just exaggerating for dramatic purposes :wink:

Jazzee · 10-16-2003, 10:41 AM

Bingo.

**South** · 10-16-2003, 10:42 AM

Yea, but I think they may have worked it out over in "Graphics"!

Jazzee · 10-16-2003, 10:42 AM

It is worked out now, yes.

raciviusdawn · 10-16-2003, 10:43 AM

it's our very own IMR soap opera lol

**John Scott** · 10-16-2003, 10:46 AM

Ryan is married to Marie, who used to be a man, and was married to Ryan's brother. But Marie is actually Ryan's grandson. But he got amnesia when Ryan's evil twin, Drake, tried to kill the entire family....

Never could understand soap operas....

jonsimons · 10-16-2003, 10:48 AM

well i never

edbarton · 10-16-2003, 11:19 AM

An interesting post

I believe he has sorted it out now though

I hope you get justice JonSimons

Coffeee™ · 10-16-2003, 09:47 PM

Jake,

Please do not be like this, you are a graphics designer and you have skills in you! Use them!

We do not want liars here and John is absolutly right about this. I hope you are going to make a site with your own skills and then we'll review

wish I had seen it before it was removed... anyone got a screen shot? I posted on the other thread before I realized exactly what had happened... I don't care if prople rip off my stuff... i can't stop them... look at 2advanced... their old site got ripped a buch of times... but people knew what was the real deal... and even if they didn't... it didn't really matter.

my whole site and business plan is about to change in a 180 anyway.

Jazzee · 10-17-2003, 05:33 AM

Juggo... I don't have a screenshot, but Jake will probably show it to you.

Coffeee™ · 10-17-2003, 05:43 AM

I would like to see it to...

DaveyBoy · 10-17-2003, 06:11 AM

it was quite similar design wise, the tables and stuff were exact in proportion and everything. I'd be totally gutted if i spent hours on something and then i look at someone's site and its a simple copy and paste of my work. It's like all your hard work and graft has been for nothing.

It's practically theft anyway, morally at least.

Juggo, do you not have any sort of copywriting in place?
