[quote=forsakendoll]i confess... i wanna cry. Im so so so disappointed. The layouts that i make? i never got those codes from anybody, i never ripped from anyone and I really really put effort in fixing those codes -- figuring out how to do this and that on my own. and so when someone rips me, it really really breaks my heart. </3 Some of my friends reported this certain girl who ripped my layouts and so i talked to her about it and she said she'll just put credits. Even though i wasn't really happy bout it, what else can i do? She already posted the layies in some friendster layout sites. I don't wanna be mean and ask her to delete those layouts (even though i really really wanted to lol) But the sad part of the situation is, one time i was browsing a friend's profile and then i saw that a style that was awfully familiar. I recognized my codes in an instant. But to my dismay, at the footer -- i saw layout by: name. and then beside it was "codes by: name of the girl who ripped my layouts. " HAHAHAHA. I felt like i got slapped in the face. Funny how i worked so hard for the codes and the ripper even gets the credit. Not me. I'm so pissed. I dunno what i should do! I'm even getting sick with my limited bandwidth screwing up the layouts. arghh[/quote] [b] I know it's not easy making layouts sis..All the effort and the time you've spent in creating high quality and unique layouts..You are known to be one of the best in the Friendster world..I know somehow we just tend to be optimistic...thinking that people ripping our layouts is a compliment..thinking "Our layouts must be that nice to be ripped off by people and even used in other sites and forums"..but that person you're referring to has gone too far..You should set stricter rules regarding Rippers...Exposing them is probably the only way to get rid of them...I know most people doesn't want to be publicly humiliated..Since you're well known to be a good layout creator..You should make a thread here exclusively for you containing all your rippers and all that..for people to see and most of all be warned in case their layouts were ripped by those people too..I know you don't wanna be mean and all that but they have no RIGHT to rip your layouts and what's worse..claim your layouts as theirs..so due to that..you have the RIGHT to expose them as consequence.."RIPPING is still called STEALING" [/b] [align=center][img]http://avatars.jurko.net/uploads/avatar_13310.gif[/img][/align] [b]I confess that...I miss my Rockmates and i've noticed a lot of things lately and we need change lol ^^[/b] [img]http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4858/29571499dm0.jpg[/img] [b]Keep Rockin' \m/[/b]
