This is no way directed at Caleb.

Greg only.

Look familiar? :rolleyes:

Ah, you haven't seen the Klydo page.

Greg completely ripped it. :)


George is missing the point aswell.

He RIPPED it.

Doesn't he own virb? or was it something else

It does make me laugh how the banner changer is on Virb, but when Greg & Caleb used it, they were shouting at another guy for using it aswell :rolleyes:

LOL. No, he doesn't.

Klydo
25-04-2008, 07:34 PM
It's called being offline, should all give it a go once :P

Anyway what are we getting at? Sure I say how to do it on Virb then reproduced on Klydo the banner. You guys are missing the point, the thing about the taking the mick thread was that he only done it directly after he gained access to Klydo. Like I say time and time again yet not one listens "I'm not claiming to of came up with the idea" :)

LOL. No, he doesn't.

I haven't yelled at anyone? Maybe yelled at Reconix for being a little *****, but thats about it.

I see some similarity too that, it is just laid out similar. The only thing I see that is "similar" to Klydo, is the featured at the top.

So please Simon, don't bring me into the "yelling" thing ;)

There are different versions of the "banner changer", ours is way different then Virbs.. the guy took our idea.. and did it the same way, instead of Virbs.

Edited By nvrspk4 (Assistant General Manager): Please do not be rude.

I don't like how similar the content boxes look:

----------------------
CONTENT TITLE
----------------------

CONntnnent,a
dsjdksjdksjdjksdjkdjssdjk
sdjdskjsdjksdjkskjsdjksdjk
----------------------

Those borders look VERY similar.

edit: click music on virb and check out the top 10, looks reaaaally similar to they're previous profile facts thingy.

To what? :S

25-04-2008, 08:42 PM
to klydo, well thats because they are exactly the same.

Klydo
25-04-2008, 08:45 PM
They don't look anything alike, ours were designed to be 3d. Theres are just using colours to seperate the rows.

Kieran
25-04-2008, 09:41 PM
They are not in any way a similiar design. The only thing the same is the white background for gods sake! You people need to grow up and stop being so pedantic

Blind? The featured musicians, the features in general even the header changer. The content borders, the music top tens?

Kieran
25-04-2008, 09:48 PM
Oh no! Not a 1 pixel gray line. It MUST be a copy and paste! And oh no, not some text that just happens to appear the same. Oh look, there's a site on google that has the word featured in it, it must be copied!

Circle me ONE true copy and I'll believe you!

You're getting pathetic, quit attempting to be "Mr. Copy-patrol", when you yourself rip like cloth.

If I need to bring this up again, you used to "test quite a few divs", and "test wraps", and copy layouts?

Btw: nothing against you caleb.

Kieran
25-04-2008, 09:53 PM
Sorry guys, but Im with Dentrafrice and Kyldo 100% on this. It is no way a copy and you're all just jumping on the band wagon because someone else said it!

Whats a Habbo site got to do with it?

After copying the link, someone clearly cant use this forum properly. How can you even relate the two together?

I'll even go into an in depth look at both:

They are both different sizes
Use different fonts
Have different uses
One has a button, the other doesn't
Different pictures
Different style

NEED I GO ON?

Hypertext
25-04-2008, 09:57 PM
Personally, I don't think it's a rip, I think it's just a bit too much inspiration.

Kieran
25-04-2008, 09:58 PM
You just completely contradicted yourself after I made you look silly!

Dentafrice
25-04-2008, 09:59 PM
LMAO! After you got told, you change your mind and say "that isn't a rip", but yet earlier you were saying "are you blind! look at blabla"

wewt
25-04-2008, 10:13 PM
I 'doubt' it because there's a difference between an aspiring graphic designer and a graphic designer. Besides 'I am a graphics designer. I know exactly what things should look like etc. I can see it isnt copied.' - graphic design is not web design.

Kieran
25-04-2008, 10:14 PM

wewt
25-04-2008, 10:16 PM
Exactly... and this is web design. So just because you're a 'graphics' designer does not mean you should have the perfect eye for viewing what is right.

Kieran
25-04-2008, 10:16 PM
I am also a web designer aswell. So therefore, get your facts straight!

Klydo
25-04-2008, 10:17 PM
Um Charley, why are you using an old design which we have changed? We're not using something which looks a lot like someone else's site. As we have the brains to come up with our own stuff unlike you. The other thread has the new design which you have even seen yet you have to use our old designs.

Unless you haven't noticed yet Charley you know nothing about web development apart from going to zedtu.com and C&Ping.

Do you suck? The point I'm making is that you being a graphic designer or a web designer does not give you the right to decide what is right or wrong, or similar or different. Your opinion is no greater than anybody else's. So take your 12 year old head out of your ***.

If everything stayed how it was made the world would never change, paper was first used to write legal documents and the bible on. So why do people draw on it and create things such as posters and leaflets...

The web is for creation now not text. If it wasn't then things such as Internet Explorer and Firefox wouldn't support things such as images, flash and css.

Pointless. I seen quite a few pointless arguments today.

Yahoo has branched into different things so they need a full website to display their features. Because what google has is very basic design they don't need nothing but a link to the page.

The users who visit google couldn't care less about the design because of the overall popularity of the website. What ask and yahoo have done is tried to attract users with a nifty design.

Yeah as Google has the name and everyone knows it. However Yahoo has the business side of things to perfection by having themselves has the homepage to millions and millions of people by default. Where as Google has to be made homepage by the user. However I do see Google taking it one day, if they can seal a deal with some large ISPs then they could get homepage priviledges like Yahoo did.Thats the first sensible post I've seen you post in this thread.

If you took time to look you will see ask.com is a box, few images and a logo.

Yahoo has branched into different things so they need a full website to display their features. Because what google has is very basic design they don't need nothing but a link to the page.

Instrumentals I couldn't give a flying fudgecake how long you've been registered on habbox, just goes to show that your attitude and moral high ground is disgusting. L!nK, wow.. am I supposed to bow down and kiss your toes all mighty heroine?

But you just said I'm trying to fit in so I explained about that, next time don't say nothing if you don't want people to reply back. idiot

What's my girlfriend got to do with Klydo? :S

Since you want to know she's on her way back down as she moved in with me and it didn't work out. So you can have her back in Cornwall.

Alexa ratings are taken from people with the alexa toolbar installed, they're not accurate atall. Google is by far the most visited site on the planet.

No they aren't just taken from the Alexa toolbar, the Alexa toolbar is used as part of the calculation but they also incorporate things like hits and traffic.

How do they get these "hits and traffic" then? They have to have some sort of monitoring system, otherwise they couldn't calculate anything.

It is the Alexa Toolbar, unless the sites embed something on their site to calculate it? Such as what Google Analytics does.

Which they get from the Alexa toolbar, there's no magical way to measure the sites without having something to monitor them. Google have no Alexa tracking, they just go by the toolbar.

Well put it this way, there is no other site out there more acurate than Alexa. Even if it's just from the toolbar that still means it's a fair assumption of how popular a site is. As with or without the Alexa toolbar people are still going to visit the same sites. Therefore it is a pretty accurate cross section.

Just because people say Google It doesn't mean it's more popular, it just sounds good. Yahoo It doesn't quite have the say feel.
