To Shaghost! [ripper]
Well why you're mentioning stealing someones source in the other thread then I need to ask you a couple of question dealing with your hosting biz and slabhost.
OK for the ppl who wanna investigate heres the links:
http://www.slabhost.com [original]
http://www.shaghost.com [ripper]
1. Your meta keywords are the exact like 5 paragraphs long.
2. You used the same flash sound as slabhost.com.
3. You've used the same scheme on many of your pages( tables, popups, etc.)
4. You have a lot of the same javascripts and such.
I've considered many possiblities for this as maybe its by the same owner but it don't seem to be so. Your just so very similar.0

If you view source and flip between the two the first half is almost the same ;-)
The meta tags are the giveaway ;-)
Good catch.0

The company names even sound the same... but yes... the meta tags give it away

Love these threads started by those with 1 post who accuse someone of ripping etc. Kids these days.
If you want to accuse someone in public, at least have the guts to use your real username.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

Don't think they are the same.
Slabhost.com is registered to someone in Arkansas, while Shaghost.com is registered to someone from Rhode Island.0

How are these the same exactly??
1. Meta keywords cannot be copyrighted and probably are the same for most hosting companies...
2. What sound?? No sound on SlabHost...
3. Who doesn't use tables in their design? The site is completely different.
4. huh? Do you mean rollover effects?0

There is a difference between using someone else's stuff and copying it.
Yes, they are common terms, but to be identical?0

It's wrong to use someone's keywords as it attempts to steal their place on search engines.

Haha.. yeah, SlabHost doesn't even have any music on their site.
And what JavaScripts are you refering to?0

I agree that it is an uncivilized act (meta-tags)...which should be frowned upon... but then again this isn't a legal issue...
Though.... how do we know that you didn't copy them0

Just compare the javascripts in the source, and they use to have the sound on an animation.

Are you saying that only ONE webhost is granted the right to use all those phrases in their MetaTags?0

HIs argument for taking meta tags is weak too.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

Don't hide behind another "just made up" username. Or are we to believe that this person just came to WHT for the first time and this is their first post they happen to make.Cube X Hosting
