50..........

50 ripoffs.

You know what.

too slooooooooooooow

DAMN YOU!!!!!!! :Oh crap :1orglaugh

If I get inspiration from an invention and if I can IMPROVE upon it I can submit a patent application as long as the item in question has some modification and is better than the original at its intended purpose. I really don't see this as any different, the guy may or may not have stolen it, but if he did he certainly made the site look much better. :2 cents:

Just find a way to shut him down if you feel that way. But make sure that he does not shut you down.

Yeah, the menu on the left makes the site sooooooooooooooooo much different. Let's see how you react when you are in the PPC competition and some dumbass uses the same template and the same code, with different similar words, but the same fucking template. You will have a different opinion. :2 cents: :2 cents:

thats a sure rip.

Now im fucking pissed look at the text design gfx of my site and his header its the same plus those little circle things.

http://www.escortssearch.net/

great layouts!!! can I use those too? :1orglaugh

Your logo :

His logo :

http://porn-sex-list.com/immoral.jpg

Oh come on, it doesn't look the same. It's not a ripoff because his logo looks much better.

Stop whining. :1orglaugh

Im really not that mad... frankly I could care less i was just being a drama queen.

But I see enough similarity in the graphic design that I bet we used the same grafix designer.

BTW count the little circle thingys in each grafic 19....Coincidence?

its the same shit!
who doesnt notice it... have some HUGE problems...

If you're going off the hook about this, what about blog designs, they're all the same.

would you feel less threatened if the background was red instead?

to me looks like too basic of a layout......screencaps with text in the middle. Anyways, hope u catch him i guess.

You guys know absolutely NOTHING about converting traffic no matter how "pretty" you think the second one is. I'd take the first one 5000 times out of 5000 if I were trying to make money rather than jerk off to pretty colors.

gathering ideas and inspiration from your competitors is exactly what a good business person should do.

PPC and Blogs are not the same thing. Come back when you really understand what the game is all about.

I totally agree. But copying the same fucking layout and text is not the same thing.

This is why when you go to sit down and design a new site it's always best to start with a blank page and create from your own creative talent. If you have to go looking at other websites for inspiration then look, but don't touch. Only the weak, feeble-minded, and lazy cheating idiots need to view source/save an entire website and build on another's hard work. This is what it gets you, a thread like this exposing your lazy cheating ass.

I'm with Nocarrier on this one.


And yes, it's been done to me in the past.

I had my lawyer send C&D orders to the guy (he was in Germany) and to the host he was with, and luckily enough it scared him enough to smarten up and change his shit. There wouldn't have been much more I could have done to him.

Both of those pages look just like the old thumbzilla entrance page from a few years ago

*yawns* Jesus called, he wants his hair back.

Can you find out what his host is? I didn't have any luck with whois searches

Thanks!

I would start with these guys: http://www.everydns.net/

There's a support link at the bottom, which opens an email to an "@everybox.com" addy.

If they can't lead you to the actual host he's with, well, they appear to be providing him a service, they can be threatened too, if that's where you're thinking of going with this.

I get this:

Registerfly.com -- I'd be hitting them up as well.

oh get over it, nothing on the net is original anymore, ESPECIALLY layouts... thats like making a normal tgp layout then suing everyone else because its the same layout, but with different graphics...


oh yeah, its PPC so im all wrong, blah blah blah, no its not... its the exact same, only thing is, you're paying per visitor who comes to your site instead of trading them

idiots
off course second site looks better because its 2006 now, and NC created his page in 2002

the guy had 4 years to think and add some improvements

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Innovation breeds Imitation

Dude I've seen a lot of sites that look like that.. Hell I've never even seen yours before and I have one that is close to that layout.

Hell there was one for sale on GFY here maybe a year ago with that same kinda layout.

Agreed, and it happens to all of us. This is a clear case of what was said earlier, a guy can't start with a blank page and create something unique so he goes to other sites in the similar space and starts by copying the site and then changes it up as much as he can to try to make it look different.

That's why I don't fool myself into thinking I am a designer, I'm not, so when I need a site done, I pay someone to do it originally and creatively. In this case even though the copied site is a bit different it looks like it's clear that he started with a copy...at least to me. I have to give this one to NoCarrier.

Unfortunately you have to waste your time trying to get it changed now, and it is different enough that you might have a hard time with that. good luck, anyway though.

basically, the box is hosted at layeredtech

could be a reseller though, but layered tech owns the box

yup ripped

hes gonna say code isnt copyrighted and the border was 1 pixel wider

No offense but the content is totally different.

The text is different, and the pictures are different. I can't find the copy.

So, it's more like a subjetive thing? To some it could look like a copy and to others don't?

I remember when someone did copy literally one of my sites and the guy got sued for it. But if he would just copy the position of my images and text, I would have never do anything.

I'm using common sense. :)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Nocarrier's template is so generic, it would be like me complaining about somebody using an html table with the same color and font style as my site.

It's a total rip. Anyone who thinks differently is either blind, retarded or a thief himself.

Also it would not surprise me if both webmasters hired the same designer. :1orglaugh

lol.. i've seen that frontpage template :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I agree as well, but I think your layout is better than his...:thumbsup

How does one decide where to insert sig spots in threads such as this?

Thanks for posting this, I'm ripping the site right now.... btw their site looks better, I'd do like a "reverse ripoff"

Time to move on.

The original 2003 design is caught in a timewarp...I use the term 'design' loosely as there is no design.... a heading here, some text there...a photo here...it's a shocker. The inspired website is not much better. You should be flattered someone thought enough of shit to eat shit.

This a drama that doesn't need to happen. Rule of thumb, upgrade your site every 6-12 months, make it fresh and clean and keep your opposition guessing.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup :thumbsup

I love the gfy, I have to stop my addiction though...

It is a rip regardless of what is changed. Atleast he did enough to change the layout of the page a little. I've seen some that are the same exact sites with different link codes. It does suck with PPC campaigns and I've seen it happen quite often.

it is a rip!! .. but , its all about the BUTT :)

DDOS his ass

100 :) :) :)
