Well i've had my share of copiers of my site: Derek's Exotic Cars (http://www.fantasycars.com/derek/), but i've never had one as bad as this FAG: Sportcars.co.uk (http://www.sportcars.co.uk/index/). It's exactly the same as my design. Right down to the poll and the logos and phrases.

Well i've sent him 2 emails asking him to change his design and he hasn't replied. I also left a message in his guest book and he deleted it.

All i ask of you is to email him and sign his guest book telling him he copied me. Thanks a lot.

ya, your sit is much cooler, has better cars and easier to navigate. I commented to sportscars and the guy cliams to have ahd his site in the paper and on the radio. Since you have Lord of the rings stuff at the top of your site, your automatically better than sportcars.co.uk

I posted on his guestbook, and I sent him a lengthy email. I went through the same thing just a little while ago, so I know how you feel. If we could find out who his host is we could probably get his account terminated because of copyright violations.

That kid from sportscars.co.uk looks like such a fag! I just look at him and I start laughing. I hate how people like that get credit for other peoples work in newspapers and shit.

Derek, after a bit of searching, I found the site for the newspaper that sportcars.co.uk was in. The url is http://www.rochdaleobserver.co.uk/ and I encourage everyone to send them emails telling the truth about this fag! Oh yeah, the direct email address of the newspaper is rochdaleobserver@gmwn.co.uk

Ah, the fun has plateaued. His guestbook can't be accessed anymore.

I also was going to comment on the size of his watch, he must carry a list of people that would be worthy of copying in there. This guy is going to get smacked bigtime if enough people read this stuff. Oh well, I don't particularly like the kid.

P.S. Igor, you created a mafia forum.

Hey good thing i saved his guestbook address:
http://www.theguestbook.com/vgbook/192613.gbook?8
He didn't count on this brain.

The Guestbook feature has been disabled due to people miss using the guestbook. Some arse hole in Canada called Derek Hay. Yeah Derek your famous now.


lol what a loser.

His site has got some coverage in England according to the crap he wrote under his picture.

Its made even worse by the things hes claiming there.

yikes! such language and violence... lol


Hey derek, i would be honored if someone copied my site.... that won't happen....


He should do things the safe way... instead of copying just using ideas... like I did......


and by the way, it seems like you and him went together and made this thing up. it looks like he got a hold of your photoshop files and everything.... it is TOO much copied... I think you guys are making this thing up.....

and another thing: why is it /index/ ? that is not his real site anyway... his real site is just http://www.sportcars.co.uk .. and how would you ever find out about /index/ ? there are no links to it....

I think you just made this thing up...

There's absolutely no way i would let someone copy my site just for promotion. I'm not getting anymore hits from this. He is! And what are you talking about...Getting a hold of my photoshop files??? He just right clicked the pictures on my site and saved em!!!
It posted the link as /index/ because if you go to sportcars.co.uk you have to click a picture to get into /index/ I just wanted people to see the copied part. I found it by clicking on the picture at sportcars.co.uk
You're really smart you know that???

Adam,
think for 10 seconds and research before you make yourself look like a complete idiot next time ;)

Adam

*ahem*

:D I'll try that next time

although, I can't imagine why anyone would want to copy it exactly -- not that it is bad, it's just that he might at least want to change one thing.. even the wording

Adam

lol... nevermind about all that, I just found something out that made me switch to your 'side':

Which of these concepts do you like the most? poll question... BUT!!! half of those aren't concepts!
