If you're saying that adding some models to a header and a reflection to buttons is a copy of your design, then you'd be aware you copied almost everybody in this business (which I don't think so, just making a point on how ridiculous you're sounding)

Anyway, keep up the good work and don't mind other people's businesses, if you're good (and you are) you shouldn't have any problem getting work nor the need to get to this far-fetched comparisons. The designer for the first tour may had have instructions by the owner and got the "feeling" from your design, but again, same can be said between your design and Cybererotica's lineup of sites.

And finally, program owners not always ask designers to make a tour because of the conversions (how would they know?) but because of the look. Believe me, I know it first hand and many times I have had to say my clients "are you really, really, REALLY sure? I promoted that and converts like crap!" Again, not saying this is the case, just making another point

Of course, just my
more i read your posts more i realize you don't know what you're talking about most of time, just trying to sound smart with "big talk".

> you're a really talented designer
- are you sure? because I haven't called myself designer close to a decade

>but if you were in this business for at least 2 months (and I know you were)
- logic is lost here

> (which I don't think so, just making a point on how ridiculous you're sounding)
- I would sound ridiculous if I claimed they stole our design. I said imitation, which is a bit more than just being inspired of it. I seen many designs inspired by our Destiny design from year ago and i didn't say a word to anyone, because i sow those designs as being inspired by.

> I find more similarities between your design and Cybereortica's sites done by Dickmans years before yours than betwen your design and the so called copies..
- i just went to CE site as i haven't looked at it in ages.. if our design has more resemblance with CE than those sites in my OP with our design, then i'm lost at words, one of us is clearly blind.

>If you're saying that adding some models to a header and a reflection to buttons is a copy of your design,
- no i'm not claiming models in header and 3 big menu buttons with reflections as something original, although with some replies in this thread i see how some can look only at those things and laugh at my post. whole construction of their tour imitates our design. most paysites have models in headers, some sites have reflections - so what? the way those two tours constructed are imitating CO design.

> Anyway, keep up the good work and don't mind other people's businesses
- same to you buddy, follow your own words

> Believe me, I know it first hand..
- as i said in first line "big talk". why are you asking/telling me to believe you? like i'm some newb here
