So I was checking out this website, Warrior Cats. As I scrolled through the affiliates, I realized that our banner was up. I couldn't remember ever affiliating with them, and I felt bad for not having theirs up, so I checked their affiliates section only to realize that a guest called "Invisiblestar" posted an ad for his site, called "StarClan's Lighted Path". Now, having the same name as ours didn't nessecarily mean he copied--or at least, I thought it didn't. Until I saw that his banner was the EXACT same one I made.
www.warriorsxxxx.proboards51.com/index.cgi?board=affiliate&action=display&thread=1200767296
Link to the banner he uploaded- i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/Hazelstar_Album/lpbabnur0.png
Link to site- www.starclanpaths.proboards67.com/
Now, I registered there and posted the following.
It has come to my attention that this site's admin has taken several things from my own website. lightedforever.proboards55.com/ -Here. As you'll notice, it shares the same name, and I have proof that mine was around far before this site was even created. In fact, it was around several years ago, before I took over adminship of the current version. Now, my initial thought was that perhaps this happened to be a coincidence. But if you'll notice, your admin has taken our affliation banner--one that I made myself, and has been up a long while. Any of the members and staff there will confirm this. I'm not looking to start a fight, and maybe there was a reasonable explanation for this. I wouldn't know. However, please take the banner I made down. I would also request that you change the name of this site, as mine was around first.
Thank you, Goldenheart. I tried to stay calm, even though they definately STOLE from this site. But as far as I know, it was only the admin, and I was trying to give the members there a warning. However, if the admin is one of those people who steal things, and then freak out when they get caught, there's a chance I'll be banned from that website soon, and my post deleted. If that happens, I am NOT going to stand by and let them continue using this sites name and affiliate banner.
Here are some screen shots to prove things:
Thats the admin account, and obviously they have NOT been around as long as us, if you'll notice the date of registration.
And here's the thread the admin made. It may not seem like a HUGE deal, but after all the work we've all put into this site, and after I MADE that banner, it kinda sucks.
