Neowin Ripped!


Recommended Posts

Just figured I'd throw in that the main page isn't running off of vBulletin.. that's just the forums script. And as for the designers go, you've been reading their previous posts... look at the bottom of the main neowin page. :)

Design by Neobond & Redmak, Coding by Tingle

And I do want to take the time to tell you three that the design and efficiency of this ENTIRE site is just outstanding!

This is shameful. Whilst i am unsure what we can do about this, it is quite clear that it was intentionally/deliberately ripped from neowin. An odd compliment if you will, but clearly alot of work has gone into making neowin what it is and it is sad to see that people like this can just take all that hard work and use it like it is their own. :(

P.S. Neowin rocks. Don't settle for cheap imitations baby !! :D

They've ripped of the World Of Aqua icon set too. Click one of their stupid trojans and you'll see it down the bottom of the page.

What a horrible page. They so ripped Neowin off, but what disgusts me more so that's it's a page dedicated to trojans! Trojans are for script kiddies! Bleh!

Website forgery? What else is new? :D I think all companies rip content from other web sites, like what CNet did with Microsoft and/or vice-versa! :D

Okay, while this is considerably an issue for our our beloved Neowin community...let's leave this matter in the hands of Redmak and Neobond who will solve this problem.

This is the quote from one of their user

OMG Did he really do that. that is so uncalled for and he should be ashamed of him self. I registered today to become a member but now that I find this out I am offended and will never visit this board again.

I guess I'm trying to figure out what all the hubub over this is for.

If I was the admins/devs here I'd be more than PO'd for the near duplication of Neowin's home page layout etc (so they're not creative design-wise and took someone elses look wholesale -- how unusual for the Web), but as Weasel notes they are not using the same backend for their bulletin board system, and apparently make a straight b-line to it for comments off the front page (so unlikely they're using anything approximating the code on Neowin).

It's also NOT a site promoting trojans. Look at their "about" statement.

I say let Neobond and company handle things from here on in, and leash up the hounds for another hunt...
