Don't know if it has been posted before, but this is a certain FreeWHT rip and I just wanted to make sure iNET knew that. (Even though I think they do since the user registered with that name here, "webdesign-talk", has his account disabled.)

The guy didn't even change the name of the images dir:

Some people I tell ya....


Thank's for pointing this out :)

That is a terrible rip....

Designed by Stephen John Barnes

Oh yeah and pigs fly.

Yep, terrible rip indeed. It's my pleasure, just wanted to make sure iNET was on top of this.

lol... so much for talking about web design

Wow, that's a terriable rip... could've at least done a better job by changing colors or whatever... But no... even have to include where you downloaded in the path... seesh...

iNet need to get that guy shut down.

He is wasting iNet banner ad's (bottom of page: he kept the same banner ad code) - I am quite sure the advertisers will be outraged if iNet do not act immediately.

I will notify them, and I urge others to do the same.

Just reported my post to a community leader so they come and see it.

I don't think it will count though, im pretty sure there ad software only allows the ad's to be counted as being served from the domains that iNet sets it up on.

Do I just go to iNet site to report it? Or a special email, PM or what?

Pathetically bad, funny rip.

iNet should sue this kid's ***, he's got it coming for him anyhow.

OK I've gotten a response from anon-e-mouse. She said she has contacted iNET about the matter.

You can use the Helpdesk... www.webhostingtalk.com/helpdesk. This reminds me of the recent rip of PowWeb's welcome page where the ripper even used the same slogan from PW's page.

Kimmikat, anon-e-mouse has already contacted iNET :)

I didn't see your previous post when I started typing my reply and had to walk away from the computer for a few to put the cat out! Glad it's being handled.

Umm, I don't think the first one is a rip, folks. Unless they also have access to the member database, it appears freewht.com is a mirror of the original...

He sure picked the wrong way to get visitors to his site :P

freewht.com is owned by iNET. There are several domains that iNET registered that point to the same mboard.

I searched the whois and it shows Inet does own the freewht.com domain.

*Ring* *Ring*

"Hello iNet? I just found another one of the domains you own. I thought someone should warn you about that. Thanks!"

Move along folks...nuthin' to see here ;)

WOW nice catch

You do not think webdesign-talk.com didnt rip freewht.com? To me I can see alot of it the same.

What?!

My friend, iNET does not own www.webdesign-talk.com, as you can see, the owner of that website ripped the images from www.freewht.com which IS owned by iNET. As I stated in my first post he didn't even changed the name of the images directory when he ripped the images.

This is a very clear rip.

EDIT: I think you thought that freewht.com is the ripper. Well, freewht.com is owned by iNET and is relatively new, webdesign-talk.com is the ripper....

OIC! I thought you were saying both domains were rips! M/N :)

iNet should be thankfull, as the 'Advertising Info' in the footer section of the ripped site links to iNet.

Why should they be thankful?

This guy has ripped one of their sites, and is possibly costing their advertisers money.

Simon

Maybe I should have mentioned that I was intending to make fun of the ripper as he did not bother to remove that link.

It's horrible, btw how do you find all these rips :)

I just took a look at his website and poof, a rip :)

Thank you all for bringing this to our attention. We have sent the following DMCA notice to ThePlanet.com.


DMCA Notice (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/documents/DMCA-webdesign-talk.com.pdf)

We will watch for compliance.

Hmm, this makes me ask the question if peoples ad-servers are really all that secure.

If I were to take the banner placement code from a site such as WHT, and write a script to display it 1000 times on a site, and refresh the page a couple times, would that actually chew up advertisers banner impressions?

/me goes to make sure my adserver only allows requests from my sites/domains.

I was about to ask that same question...

Alright folks...which one of you computer nerds hacked in to their site and placed that banner there? Huh??? Anyone want to take credit>>>Absolutely brilliant...I tell you!

Thats great! Whoever did it, excellent!

Damn...he at least monitors the site. In a matter of 5 minutes...I register, I post a comment, my post is removed, I am unregistered as a member, and my IP is banned. I don't think he wants the word to get out that he stole from a big company.

How about everyone register in 10 minute intervals and post at that time and lets see how fast he can keep on top of it all...LOL

Rip after Rip after Rip, iNET should be flaterred people like their sites so much!

Now he decided to remove the banners ! As you can see the space is empty! :rofl:

What a frekin loser!!!

The guy that runs www.webdesign-talk.com is on the SM Forums - his user name is patriotcow, the link is in his profile. He's from Wales according to his profile - his email is and msn, aim..etc is all there.

Usual response..."we did not design this site...it is being changed as we speak." Sent me an email responding to me.

Then why did you say it was designed by you??? You freakin Loser! Get a Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This dude needs to be taught a little lesson....

LOL. He's underage. He was complaining a few weeks back about not being able to pay for his server because he didn't have any money in "his bank account".

He's also registered on these forums as patriotcow and webdesign-talk as the original poster said. I smell a multi-account ban. :D

This Stephen Barnes fellow also owns goldhoster.com and sunhoster.com (and a few more).

I won't be surprized if more of his sites would be rips.

Can't afford his hosting account? :)
He has a hosting "company" and it seems he's on a dedicated server.

I said he can't afford his server, but be the judge yourself. :D
