Unless there was an agreement amongst the two or SS owns xPanel - tell me if you see the picture ripping.

No offence, but I hardly see any resemblance. Apart from two similar colours, the rest is diffrent...

WHAT!!!!!!! Your kidding right. You can not see the main header pic as being a complete rip? The datacenter and web hosting catagory title. OH MY - please tell me your just not looking at it right.

No question someone ripped someone. If Surf Speedy was around first, then there you have it. Given how unpolished the XPanel site is, I'd say it was Surf Speedy first.
I'm going to assume this isn't a common template either...

lynching, and no, there's no need. Just bring it to Surf Speedy's attention and let them take care of it :)

Could be two companies that bought the same template, you know? As far as I can tell, Surf Speedy goes back to 2002. I purchased my original XPanel license back in 2001.

I don't know about that, EverSpeed; if you visit http://4design.tv you'll see that they've done SS's sites in the past (they may have done their current design as well but I don't know for sure).
I don't know why a company would go from having unique designs done to buying a template. :shrug:

if template - then xpanel would have utilized the full template on their site. they only ripped a few things. Nice defense though. I am sure the matter will be resolved and I wish them both the best. Could have been xpanel's designers fault.

OH WOW - xpanel now has their logo where the pic once was. UMMMM - seems there was some fault somewhere.

Yep. XPanel changed a whole lot of things in order to avoid litigation, I imagine. I hope they make a statement regarding this, because as of right now, XPanel are thieves and get absolutely zero respect from me.
