Hi,

The question is for any of you since you are the creators of the halloween V2 theme. Was wondering if you released it for download by others without them asking first? The reason why is I found a site that is offering my new theme that is barely a week old, and they are also offering a bunch from here too. I would post the url in here but i hate to promote a site that is doing such things. If you want me to post the url I can....but only if asked to.

What steps can I also take to get them to take my download down? My main problem is I do not speak Turkish and the site is a phpnuke site for Turkey.


RedWolf

P.S. I have no problem with people wanting to offer my themes on their sites....but people need to ask first... icon_rolleyes.gif

P.S.S. The halloween V2 was first offered on that site on 9-10-04

I think that one was available by them before you wanted it to be available elsewhere i would think.

Go ahead and post thier url I don't mind. Who knows maybe some of the users will spam his board?? icon_twisted.gif

I got used to people scamming and ripping long ago thats why much of the new stuff is going to be commercial if they want it they will have to pay end of story.

That does sound like a good idea Telli. The majority of sites that offer themes that they make are limiting the free themes drastically. I even seen a commercial one the other day being offered at another site for free. Dont worry, it wasnt from CZ. Yet this unethical trend of some sites holds the answer to the new phpnuke user's question of "When is the next free theme going to be released?". Even the amount of blocks and modules being released by the nuke community seems to have decreased within the last 6 months..wonder why?.. icon_sad.gif

So Please support the sites that actually put their hard work into the things you use on your own sites.

UPDATE*** If it matters to anybody...lol. After a post on their forum site was up for almost 2 days and several messages sent to the admin of that site, and even a hack attempt from a IP from a Turkey based internet provider, My themes are removed from that site finally. So I guess it shows that persistance paid off in this case...lol.

RedWolf

P.S. And to think all of this situation would have been avoided by doing something simple and polite like them asking permission. icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah I know. I was shocked when I read that news about Mikey, although everybody has a breaking point when things get taken too often. I even feel kinda bad on one way, cuz right before that I informed him of a site that was giving away one of his custom themes for free. The nerve of some people is just sickening. It seems like there is more people stealing stuff than actually creating things lately. Just imagine how much more phpnuke might have grown if everybody could be respectful to others. New phpnuke users would have a bigger choice of free themes also. More modules, more blocks, more add-ons...you all get the point..lol.

P.S. Because of Mikey, I learned how to create themes with his theme tutorial. I do not know him personally, yet owe him a huge thanks for my knowledge concerning themes.

I for one am very sad to see it come down to this. Mikey has truly been an inspiration to alot of us, and alot of us know how he feels.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Whoever said that must not have ever had his/her hard work ripped, copied or stolen.

I spoke with him not long ago, and he informed me this would happen soon. There's a farewell thread going on in his forums right now, most people are showing their respect and appreciation for everything he has done for the community...some are flaming... -sigh-
In my book he leaves with class and distinction, and will not be forgotten.
