Their text: Our reseller plans are powerful, great features packed with low prices, yet flexible.

You will notice that all the text is located in the same order as well, the last text described above under the plans table as well. I wouldn't care if it was just one of them, but its a little obvious. Come on people, come up with your own ideas. :rolleyes:

Someone else used "powerful" and "flexible" in the same sentence and you feel ripped off?

Lawsuit!!!

As i said in my first post, i really wouldn't care if it was only one of them ...but its just a little obvious :)

I'll have to agree with Marc, too many sentences in a row = copy :)

Oh well no biggie ;)

after looking at the pages i would say a lot more than just the text was stolen

Sad indeed :erm:

I went through their site -http://pearlnetwork.com/reseller/ - noticed the similarities with mchost.com; It's really disgusting :eek:

I tried going to http://pearlnetwork.com/reseller/ and got forbidden 403...

Wont let me see it.

Seems they have removed it; :angry:

The saddest part in my opinion is the frequency of copying that we see. The pearlnetworks text copy isn't really that bad, although tacky and unprofessional.

My question is why do people continue to bite other peoples designs and then post here advertising them? Don't they know every host on this board checks out every other hosts site?

It flies in the face of common logic. Among a group of people that are so often the victims of fraud themselves, why would anyone participate in it themselves?

Ok, I'm getting off my soapbox now.

I think a lot of them still think there's nothing wrong with stealing someone else's work. I can't fathom why they can't see it myself, but there you are... I think somewhere along the way a chunk of society forget to respect other people's stuff.

Also, many are selling designs, templates, etc. all around on the internet that they have either copied or have taken from a free template and removed the identification. So, although not the case here, there are even more innocent purchasers finding out the hard way that their design was not original.

Basically two reasons for all this.

Some people are:

dishonest

and stupid-thinking they will never get thought.

hey kiwi,
i was just looking at the pearlnetworks and noticed they offer a anonymous 24/7 toll free telephone number. ever though of offering something like that for your resellers?

that would be sooooo cool!

(By the way, stop reading this and go and write that control panel!:D :D :D :D :D )

Hello,

I am very sorry about that everyone. We based the reseller site off of a few different sites (mchost.com being one), we ARE going to change it around to our own needs very soon...this is what we will do. The reseller part has been taken done and I think mchost will be happy, am I correct? I will see to it that nothing like this happens again, I am very sorry. By the way, the new site is going to be much better :) - we were going to update the reseller site to this within a few weeks anyways. I am very sorry like I said, let me know if I can do anything to clear this up. Thanks..

An apology. Cool.

Too many folks tend to shrink away when questions are raised.

cheers, apology made you clean gold. :)

i guess . . .

Just thought I'd let everyone know there is a new reseller site up now ;)

Let me know if this last issue is not cleared up and I will do so. Thank you..

MattS, on your new reseller page, at the top left, you have put a = and it forces your header down one row.

Thanks, fixed it.
