oh yeah 150!

Incidentally, fluffygrrl, I think you're flipping out over nothing.
This is so incidental in the grand scheme of things, a mere fleck.

But yes, this is your page.

Favicons are the same

Make a note, never hire anyone from this thread to do print work.
The background colour isn't different at all, it's simply the CMYK version of her background.
Meaning: On screen, things are a mix of RGB [Red Green Blue]. For print, it's Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. Not all RGB colours, particulally oranges and dark blues can be represented in CYMK, so they shift. And that's exactly what's happened here.
Take her site into photoshop, convert it to CYMK, you'll see it's the same.

Screenshot of her site, 50% overlayed on their shot, with perspective correction.

So yes, they're taken.

But seriously, wtf? Move on.

On the flipside: XBiz, spank your lazy designer.

I am at the bottom of page one here, and not going to read the rest of this thread.

But furrygirl, that font is called quiggley wiggley and I myself have used it on several of my personal adult sites.

I can understand the resemblance, and that it is a poor topic with the kp thing, but it is quite a stretch imo.

anyhow I won't be participating in this thread, but figured as another female webmaster I would mention that I too use that girly font on splash pages.

edit: haha xbiz's designer is a douche.

carry on.

Do you feel better now that you got this out, or are you regretting this post right about now?

Is this fine to print in my magazine in an article about kiddie porn and shit? LMK

It was obvious from the start that the designer had seen the site and most likely even purposely copied it. I'm glad someone took the time to post the truth instead of just calling her names like a school child. Maybe it's not a big deal and she shouldn't be so worked up about it, but she WAS right.

Sitting down to read the March 2009 issue of Xbiz World (the printed magazine), I came across an article on page 88 titled, "ASACP AIDS FCACP IN FIGHTING COMMERCIAL CP" by Stephen Yagielowicz.

Much to my surprise, the example kiddie porn site looks an awful lot like the splash page to one of my sites. See the side-by-side here, I don't have enough posts to embed images: furrygirl.com/share/xbiz.jpg

I don't recall ever seeing another adult web site using that font, and I especially have never seen any web site ever using it on a dark blue splash page in white and light blue text. There is no debating that Xbiz's little example kiddie porn site is based directly on my splash page.

So, Xbiz, what the fuck? What made you pull my URL out of a hat to use as base from which to make a kiddie porn site mockup graphic for your article? I mean, I know I'm young-looking and all that, but I'm also probably the only adult website that specifically forbids affiliates from selling me as a "teen". I have never used the words "teen" or "young" to describe my site, despite the fact I started shooting/webmastering when I was 18. I don't do schoolgirl content, and I go out of my way to avoid portraying myself as super-young, when I could have gone the Little April route if I so wanted.

To see something I've created (even just something as simple as my enter/exit/members buttons and layout) being used as an example of kiddie porn really pisses me off. It would piss off any webmaster.

I would have expected better from Xbiz.

Is this a joke or are you ACTUALLY retarded?

1) You are ugly and your site, content sucks.
2) Calling out XBIZ over this?! stupid stupid stupid stupid.

omg this forum.. never lets me down..

I see designers on here stealing other designers work and you are crying over a FONT as the enter and exit?!!

Kill yourself TODAY not tomorrow NOW!

The only damages here are the one she's done to herself by bringing this to GFY so she still has no case.

I never said she had a court case. I know nothing about that. But the graphic for the magazine WAS partially copied from her site.

That's fucking hilarious it was probally more work for the designer to edit the screen cap then just create his own from scratch.

How she noticed or why she cares is beyond me .. lawlz.. I love this place..

I don't even know who the poster is, but you can be fucking sure that if it was Penny Flame's page that was copied, shit would be all over the place.

Who gives a fuck if she shaves her legs or not [ ], XBiz were caught with their pants down.

Also, the half of that page was ripped off but I still don't give a fuck. It's only an enter and leave button with the same background color. It cost them a few seconds to make and is barely anything to get mad over. I see people do worse things on a daily base.

Yah and that`s the difference between having peoples respect and just being another idiot with a porn site.

XBiz with it`s pants down hahaha.. Thats going a little far.. I`d love to hear xbiz`s story on how this happened tho.. It`s kinda funny..

The designers logic was probally.. ``I had 10 minutes to do up this graphic and her site was the first I went to because I think shes young and cute.. I meant no harm``

wtf is wrong with my keyboard.. ÉÉÉÉ

An apology to furrygirl

As with all claims regarding XBIZ content, I have investigated this matter fully and did not want to comment before I had gotten the full facts of the situation. A new assistant art director did in fact take some small liberty with your website, using a partial screenshot of it within a larger derivative work that was produced for one of my articles.

There was no intention to compromise your intellectual property, he simply made a poor choice when the art assignments were handed down and your site happened to be on his monitor at the time.

As I am responsible for XBIZ World Magazine and all content within it, I apologize on behalf of XBIZ for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Please note that I will also be publishing a written retraction in an upcoming edition of XBIZ World Magazine to further rectify the matter. While I can not undo what has been done, it is my intention to correct the error and to shed more positive light on your site which I hope helps it to generate increased sales in the future as well.

Please note that I will also be publishing a written retraction in an upcoming edition of XBIZ World Magazine to further rectify the matter. While I can not undo what has been done, it is my intention to correct the error and to shed more positive light on your site which I hope helps it to generate increased sales in the future as well.

Stephen admit it! It was an evil plot by XBiz to associate the O.Ps website with child pornography and to profit from her use of the font Quiggly Wiggley.

She will see you in COURT BUCKO!
