Remember too that if you live in another country, then it isn't really "stealing."

*Sigh*

But at least they're not stealing your bandwidth

(actually, maybe that's worse, as it's harder to detect)

just out of interest, how did you find it?

I think, going back through the history of the site, 4 that I know of. At least this one doesn't also steal my bandwidth.

I dont know bolty... they do have your concept design and artwork so i bet you could at least tell them to change their concept of image because the way they have it its set up to be the lurker lounge i mean they are copying you outright, and just doing things differently but the front page is the same!, just because there in another country give them the say" I can steal your material concept", in which they have...threaten to shut them down or tell them to change there splash page

And how exactly would I shut them down? And they'd just say "no." After all, if you just blatantly copy someone like that, you aren't going to care if you're asked to stop.

But, there are enough of us here... with enough loyalty to you and what you've achieved, not to mention those of us that actually throw our money behind you...

...that we could make an UGLY situation happen VERY fast.

*tugs on gauntlets*

'Course... all you'd have to say is "Don't"... and we won't.

well i hate to say it there is a way talk to there hosting and tell him that there copying things even though your using d2, its your concept design if you can get them to understand they are copying your idea. most hosting companies wont deal with a site that can bring probelms to them

Wow that's very lame.

It's unfortunate we couldn't find a way to sue them for millions. :o

Did you see their forum?

Not too creative I guess. Well, the greatest compliment is imitation... or something like that.

Still- :angry:

Just write a letter to the President, have him declare that that country has stolen American information, and threaten to invade said nation unless control of the site—as well as any weapons of mass destruction—is surrendered immediately.

Bah, I will go troll that forum. Well, if I can figure out what language it is. ^_^

Polish :)

From the little bit I was able to muddle through, they aren't quite as bad as they look on first impression. Mostly, they just scarfed some LL artwork.

Just a heads up, but clicking on some of the pictures in the "Bolty news" section took me to a porn site.

Bolty, I think you could try asking them to design their own look. In Poland, many less developed countries, the general public have a very different attitude to copyright. People copy much more freely. They might not realise that what they are doing is offensive to us. They might even consider it a tribute
