I think they're trying to copy your site... :rolleyes:
Anyway, that sucks - did you contact them?

What a reputation for this host.
Chicken 02-09-2002, 01:05 PM You should have emailed them first, but... yeah, pretty much another slime.
Lonny 02-09-2002, 01:12 PM I emailed them several hours before I made the post
Vortech 02-09-2002, 01:44 PM Ok loney you sure you did not copy them.. I mean they have a nice little logo going back to findtophosts.com on there hosting site tsoftsolutions.com.
I don't know this is a hard call who copied who..
Vortech 02-09-2002, 02:03 PM These fools took our banner right along with findsp.com

Remind me to phrase things as questions ;) -hopefully they'll take it down without incident.
iamdave 02-10-2002, 05:05 AM That's sad. I think it's okay to take an idea from another website and use it for your own web site, but this is just tooooo much.
By the way, did any of you get in touch with them, about this?
There site is stupid and useless anyways, because they only link 1 provider in every link, and thats Tsoft.
SMERSH 02-10-2002, 05:27 AM It looks like the whole FindTopHosts.com site is a mock up so tsoft could give themselves an award.
Looks like the tsoft discussion forums are pretty baren... maybe somebody should post something to liven things up? :D
Vortech 02-10-2002, 01:31 PM I did they deleted the darn thing as soon as i did.. LOL

I'm sure there more... I'm just bored now :)
cmonayeaha 02-11-2002, 01:39 AM All I see is that the icons on the front pages are similar. I dont expect either of you have permission from microsoft or cold fusion to use their logo's.
I've seen tons of sites with similar layouts.
This is a free market society, unless they're using your registered logos you're pretty much S.O.L.
I'd let it go if I were you, because if they find out you're posting slanderous material on here you WILL have a HUGE problem.
But what do I know I'm just a lawyer.
Lonny 02-11-2002, 01:46 AM A lawyer? yea right...
The HTML and the systems are similar - this is illigal.
What do I know I'm just the site owner...
cmonayeaha 02-11-2002, 01:54 AM Easy, hey just trying to help you. I'm not on anyone's side. I was merely posting the facts. What you FEEL is illegal, and what is actually illegal are 2 different things. I do not wish to get into any arguments with you I'm just an innocent by stander.
Lonny 02-11-2002, 02:07 AM thanks for the information...
But hey, it's just isn't right...
I'd like to request the moderators to close this forum for now...

Chicken 02-11-2002, 10:14 AM Thread starter will handle issue off-forum and has requested the thread be closed.
