phpbbmodders ripped?
Just came across a site looking just like this one. As i cant find that this theme has been released, i assume this is a rip:
http://coderaid.com/forum.html
Unless im wrong of course.
//EDIT//
I found the theme is based on proglass, but still looks too much like this site

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
I believe there was a post here with a guy that was trying to imitate the phpBBmodders style, but supposedly he didn't steal any images, made his own based on this, so technically theres nothing you can do about it...
That's like, I can't beat my neighbor in an argument, so instead I kill his dog.

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?

Keep an eye on us, were back in business..
Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
Well, not really. At least to me anyway. (Keep in mind my opinion means nothing! =P)
It kinda looks clumsily done.. And there's really only one Revolution Style.

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
It is indeed an imitation, but i don't see any problems with it. I doubt we would take any legal action anyway, at least I wouldn't. I'm moving this to the "Site feedback" forum, since it concerns this site.

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
This is why sometimes, I think that it's better to distribute officialy a style which is public.
At least, the author/team copyright is displayed clearly.
Otherwise, a malicious user will search in the most cases a solution to duplicate the style ...

An attempt to get them to release Revolution? Still, even when you release a style public people still remove the copyrights so it wouldn't matter really.
Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
Well, i'm personally not so picky about copyright. I think you're supposed to leave it, but i won't go sueing people who remove it. Despite it's not worth the effort (money money! )

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
I think this is such an obvious rip that we should at least point out to the admin that we are not pleased about it. People put in effort to create it. It is a copyrighted style, and using parts of it (wich has happened in this case) is a crime. If I created a style and it would be copied to another site, I would be pretty damn pissed. So at least send the admin an email.
When you go sueing people, if you are sure you are going to win you can demand they pay damages.

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
I'm still not sure it's that big of a deal.. Their copied-cat version looks kinda cheap and hurried to me. Did they actually steal images/code? In that case, send an email.
But.. *cough-'tis-fugly* anyway, their version.

Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
look at this http://www.domainer.sk/ it seems that people really love your style. on one side it is bad that they try to imitate your style, but on the other side, they like this style and you can be glad
Re: phpbbmodders ripped?
Daaamn.
Semi, just remember that imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
And Ganon_Master, just remember that murder is illegal, but you may want to start a mailing-list for all these guys.

But it shouldn't be used as an excuse to steal someones work.

If I made this style, I would.
