Your extremely lucky Monque/Afrekete is currently been D-Webbed by a virus that she problly copied from some eles's site. She will return tonight to beat you up alittle.
charges would be thrown out of court - they are similar in style but so are 100 other sites - that 18honeys site isn't that original either. nice work though.
I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
I asked Milena to post that today even though I had seen that before because of a couple reasons....
1) People came to us more than once asking if that was designed by us.
2) The realitysites.com flash banner on the footer of GFY is even more similar to our work.
3) We like to be reference, but sometimes its too much, don´t you think?
Anyone who thinks there´s nothing similar is either lying or doesn´t have an eye for design. Sorry but I´m being honest - no offence to anyone. It has the same width for christsake. It has same curves, tons of ideas stolen and EVEN SIMILAR SALES PITCH. Don´t fool yourselves. It was clearly copied.
I dont wanna turn this into a big thing, just wanna ask the designer one thing... Next time please at least be more subtle... Reference is out there. All of us use it. Copying though is not pretty. Not pretty at all. Makes the company who copied look bad (even if they didnt design it) and makes the value of the brand of your design company go to the BOTTOM.
Rs1, no offence to you, but yes, it was copied.
And Juicy, thanks for the view man! LOL
I don´t wanna be repetitive, but already being... We will take no legal action whatsoever, that would be "silly". I´m not pissed because of one main reason, 18partners is our program. If it was my client´s I would be pissed, because they PAY us for our ideas and don´t deserve to have their design solution depreciatted.
Mr. RealitySites.com designer, thanks for liking our work, but please, be more subtle next time.

I have no need to lie... I love your work... I've been designing shit for adult since 96. My eye is well aged.
theirs is 740, yours is 760... either way, it doesn't matter..
760 is common and so is 740.. i use 760 for everything.
they look nothing alike.
and as you suggested, when you overlay them, they still look totally different.
and like i said, neither is really unique.. there are are a hundred program sites with and another 500 on template monster that have the same layout while looking completely different.
As to the Realitysites Flash Banner, i think your completely off base in regards to the site and you have a big head to think that we would go around stealing designs from you or anyone eles.
In regards to you taking action. Please do... i always welcome a good comedy...
The fact is the site is not a copiy, Ours looks better, Would you like our PSD's Files so that you can make improvements to yours.
I own a hummer, if anyone owns one on GFY they copied me, Come on your a bit over the top here dont ya think.

You are right about the width. I talked to much. I holdall my words for all other aspects though. Come on man, look closer. Thank you for the kind words though.

exactly there is nothing similar to them whatsoever
drama for the sake of making sure everyone knows about 18honeys ;)
just looks like a way to spam their affiliate program to me

I´m not being Offbase on the flash banner comment man. Look at the wave animation on your banner and look at our flash animation on the main affiliate page.
Second, I said I wouldn´t take legal action. As I said it would be silly and its that big of a deal. Don´t be so ironic and sarcastic man. That type of thing always come back to haunt you. You said everything on the Rodney King quote. Why can´t we all get along? People don´t get along because people don´t act as they should. Its not an ideal world. Now lets get over with this.
Be a little more subtle next time. You almost passed under the radar with this one.
Anyway, its friday, 20:00 here in São Paulo Brazil. We have delivered everything, its all good, been a very nice week. Time to rest. On our end this subject is over.
oh give me a break... so the style is similar... guess what.. very rare are truly original sites... and once one pop out... it gets copied right away... just look at any reality site out there... they all have the same layout...
Your Off base on the Whole Thing. in regards to being sarcastic. it is you who thinks you such an amazing designer that people go around like sheep and copy your designs.
We have nothing to hide or Pass Under the radar. your just being a child, Fact remains these sites are not Duplicates. thats just in your head.
and the banner was made by a completely different designer. so i guess i just know how to pick them. First designer Stole your site design. then a completely different designer took your banner design.

Have a good weekend everyone.
why not? worried youll make yourselves look like even bigger fools than you already have for acusing someone of stealing your designs when it is blatently obvious to everyone they didnt?

Originally posted by Bruno DrewKole, maybe we disagree on this then. I still hold my position. I didn´t mean to offend at all. Its not my style.
have you looked at scott.cc's work? =)
I see quite a bit of similiarity between his work and yours. =)
Taking influence from someone else, doesn't mean you're copying, it means you're INFLUENCED by that work...
It is more than obvious that you've been influenced by his work, either directly, or by other sites from which were influenced by his... he was influenced by someone else, etc. etc.
It's the life cycle of design.
Unless you specifically see a copy of a site, using the same layout, same colors, same buttons, or whatever...
You can't call people out, because... god knows, someone else will be able to call you out, and it's a big hypocritical cycle.
All it does, is sorta make you look bad, IMHO, unfortunately, beacuse you guys are a great group of designers...
These threads, and thoughts are better left unspoken, until a real copy surfaces, and needs to be addressed.

I DO see the similarities but I wouldn't consider it theft. It looks like the skeletal structure was "borrowed" but the flesh to fill it in is completely different.
I see the same kind of header, the two sidebars, the header with the buttons on the bottom of the header but the colors and content is different. I wouldn't look at one site and think that it looks "just like" the other site but it doesn't. The only people who would recognize stuff like this rip is a designer....No way a surfer could possibly be tricked into thinking that these two sites were affiliated.
After I posted I saw this

I'm pretty offended, too, actually. I have no need to lie as I personally know neither party involved. And I have been designing for around 7 years now and I'd hate to think that I have no eye for design. I still see almost no similarity other than the striped border that doesn't even look all THAT similar, either.
I've had a sponsor show up with a 90% replica of one of my best converting tours. Now THAT'S frustrating.
The removed it when contacted, though. Apparently a designer they hired did the tour. I saw the tour on a designer's portfolio in a GFY sig once, but I forgot to bookmark it and I haven't been able to find it since.
