compare:

to this one:

didn't bother to even cut the bg out... lazy rippers. :mad:

I'm sick and tired of this.
MT has a nice design, sure... why does it get ripped dozens and dozens of times is beyond me.

*sigh*

EDIT: at least this time its not the whole design, but parts of it...

Actually that is stock art :)

Maybe it is why you see it so much?

I can list a few other thing monster's network has gotten from other places.

where did you get the stock art from? I doubt mediatemple would use stock stuff....

I don't know about anything else, but the pic of the 3 server groups definitely looks ripped from mediatemple, and a very sloppy job I must say. Strange too, because they could buy almost identicle server pics (far right group) for only $7 here.....

http://www.a1graphics.net/royaltyfree.html ..... page two I think.

Anything from the MediaTemple site can be recreated with ease, stop crying wolf, because one day nobody will listen or aid your cause.

Its not my problem, its MT's.
Yes I agree it can be recreated with relative ease... but:

1) obviously this wasnt recreated but screenshoted and basicaly ripped. you could see how the pictures are cutted out uncleanly.
2) even if you recreate it from scratch, if it will look exactly the same it wont be very right I would think.

its a partial rip, they took the server images and the box from the bottom.

Once again we did not take the server images you can buy those images.

And the box at the bottom is a Box! The icons and text are different. The day we call using a shaded box a rip is the day we are getting a bit too picky. Anyone can create a shaded box, if you look closely the box is not the same and was made by hand, it may look similar granted but I think your assuming to much w/o actually knowing.

:eek3:

I see that you have now (rather quickly) removed the "stock art" server images, and placed a redirect on: http://monsterhosting.ca/images/009.gif

I wonder why is that...
I also find it a strange coincidence that you had the same images and box exactly as MT.

*shrug*

I wish I had a screenshot... anyway, its impossible to prove it either way, think what you will, I still think that it was a rip.

We don't want to be compaired to mediatemplate that is why we removed it. Not to mention the photo you linked to wasn't even on our site. I find it strange you were snooping around in our images folder.

*shrug*

Guess you have nothing better to do.

"right click view image" :rolleyes:
was "snooping around" because I saw a rip and wanted to investigate more.

attitude can be insulting as well. (not "you hurt my feelings" insulting, but "I'm pissed off" insulting)

Nothing left to say here, I cant prove that it is/was a partial rip.
Good luck with your site, and have a good day.

mods please close.

No offense to anyone posting; but this looks like a threaded PM. It is best if you communicate via PM; as I can see only 2 people actively "contributing" to this thread.

Glad to see you agree for mods to close this.
