Maybe the reason why the e-mail bounched is because the site is down (thumb5.net).

Btw, good design!

You guys are funny most of these layouts all look the same besides the logo's. Its getting harder and harder to tell them apart lol. What did he steal the idea to do a box with alot of thumbnails in it? The color? Unless you invent a new language to create websites with, it will never be totally original. Unless you draw it all free hand I think "its just my idea" is a hard one to do lol.

i'll agree that most thumb preview sites look the same.

Check out the text archive on my 2 sites and his site. titles, description, positions, numbers, and appearance are EXACTLY the same. I tried to email him and ask nicely to change it, but the email didn't work which got me wondering.

That's just a bit much. Anyone can copy and paste.

www.wetteen.net
www.petitepost.com are both designed by tgp design

Since you think you are the first person with that layout Blame tgp design for copying your layout.

It's not very obvious he copied you unless you are actually looking for the said violation.

Besides, it's just simple link formatting theft (with different font and color). Out of the thousands of TGP's how many list their gallery links like...

01 : Hot Amateur Teen Pics (16)

Probably a lot. I'm sure you are not the first to do it that way.

Now if he had copied your graphic ideas, that's a different story. Graphics and overall look can be 100% new and original.

Are you fucking stupid or what?

I've made the design/layout for Zach's both sites... Of course he has made the text links as he wants them and as it works best for him. And as he says the titles, description, positions, numbers, and appearance are EXACTLY the same.

I'm pretty surprised to see that so many of you think it's ok to steal other peoples work... It's fucking obvious that the thumb5 site has copied his text-layouts.
