I agree with chris. A search I created for a site was inspired by Chris’s search, but I didnt go copying the images, or anything!

You’ve got to be kidding me. 8-).

You don’t go around ripping peoples layouts. If you’re inspired by a layout then you create your own using the ideas from it – you certainly don’t rip the entire CSS and markup.

Have you heard of theft and copyright? I very much doubt it.

It’s not what the internet is like – it’s what a small population of the internet is like who obviously have none of their own creativity to design their own layout so they are low enough to rip someone elses.

I wanna defend XeroCool. That’s how you make site – you find something you like, and do the same. Why reinvent the wheel? You could be flattered instead of getting angry.

That’s just what the web is like – if you don’t want your stuff to get ripped, then keep it on a standalone PC that is never connected to the internet and never show a soul.

I am ignorant about many things, but I believe it was clear from my posts that I know that K2 is a WP theme. However, your own words make it seem liked you ripped it from Chris’ site instead of getting it from the distributor (Michael):

“Matt, I didnt rip his layout. I copied his k2scheme.css, modified it, deleted what isnt needed”

Funny thing is, you did more than copy his CSS file. Look at the bottom of your page and see who’s name is in the copyright. Seems like a rip

I am completely embarassed I gave you more chance than the others gave you.

I did not say you ripped his layout. My point was that you are using the same theme he is using. Quite frankly, though, by your own explanation I would now consider it ripped.

Damn. I try to give someone the benefit of the doubt and then the person argues with me. The world really does hate me
