    How much inspiration is too much inspiration?

    I've seen some bad rips.. but whatcha think about this one?
    http://www.emegaweb.net/
    http://www.furyhost.com

    Furyhost pretty much recreated the whole site.. The main thing I have a problem with is the Plan names and descriptions being the same:
    http://www.emegaweb.net/jumpstart.htm
    http://www.furyhost.com/jumpstart.asp

    A bit similar eh

    I think you're just jealous because they display the Hosting Assured banner.

    Besides; their plans are cheaper.

    And they're a .com.

    And . . . . .

    Well . . . . .

    They're lazy and have found ways to deal with that.

    And . . . .

    Well . . . .

    Uhh . . . .

    That's about all I can think of for now.

    Maybe when they've been around another five weeks or so, they'll have someone else's content.

    Our site is hosted by FuryHost.com and we recently recieved an email that basically said that the design department had screwed up and had jacked eMegaWeb.net's layout and that the admin (Brett) was sorry and it was unacceptable for their crew to do that. He is aware that their site is a rip of emegaweb's and said that they are in the process of a new fresh design that Brett himself is doing and it should be up within about another week.

    (Of course he did now say "Jacked" or anything. I am just paraphrasing)

    Anyway just thought you'd like to know that they are aware of it and changing it. Now how many hosts do you know that have the dignity to inform their users that their site is a copy? Not many that i can think of. I give props to them to having the balls to put it in the open and acknowledge their wrong.

    Peace.

    Uhhhmmm...how righteous they are! Surely if they had not stollen somebody elses property in the first place...they would not have to display this noble streak. SHARK springs to mind.

    Obviously TrashMAN is only joined WHT to post on behalf of furryhost. (Or else TrashMAN is actually furryHost himself.)
    Think about it. Who would have the ability to check furry's stats and follow the link back to this thread?

    I know ***** ripped off everybody else, but they wouldn't do it to me.

    Just as an FYI: I confronted the guy about it, and he said it would be changed by thursday. I thought he would, but it erked me that it was a day later and still no change so I posted. I even suggested some web hosting templates he could get for cheap

    Just because he lives in the same city as the owner of furyhost; that proves nothing.
