Definition of ripping?

[Moh]

I always thought it pretty much means creating a identical copy of a whole/part of a layout/code?

Not because the position of something is similar.

Angry without good cause.
My girlfriend was ripping when she found out I'd slept with her best friend.

surfing really well
dude did you yousee that guy ripping?? he just magurted a 360 air, then came down by landing on the face and stalled for the deepest, sickest barrel I have ever seen!!! INSAAAANE BRAH BRAH.

Urm.. this is in Designing & Development forum ^_^

Stealing/plagiarising another's work, be it in its entirety or otherwise.

[redtom]

Stealing someone else's design (Eg. A copy and paste job). Creating an identical copy from scratch isnt 'ripping'. (Obviously it wouldn't be completely identical but you get what I mean :P)

According to ClubHabbo, www.habbcrazy.net is a ripped version of www.clubhabbo.net. Just CH jumping on the bandwagon xD

[ThisNameWillDo!]

habbcrazy.net looks better if you ask me!

There are many similarities amongst both websites although due to the differences it's difficult to classify Habbcrazy as having ripped from ClubHabbo. Adapted ideas they had first sure, but ripping? I don't think so.

[Josh]

Similar, but HabCrazy looks better and it wasn't ripped; no. I think there is some jealousy here.

Also, well done on V6!!! lol

[TotalShambles]

Ripping is taking the same code, and using it without the owners permission..

Usually harder to do when coded with css.. Tbh with HabCrazy i think you took a very strong insperation from ClubHabbo with the links but ripped...? I would really say so..

If you copy a website from scratch no its not 'ripping' it but the person who origanaly made the site prob wont be happy..

[Moh]

If you look at 2 of our past layouts, you can see where v6 comes from imo

Jack has got a point, I wouldn't say its ripped in the slightest

Thank you ross :)

The only thing thats similar is maybe the timezone changer and users online - but in the initial design they wasn't there, we had a DJ says there. I had to sacrifice the DJ Says because there wasn't any room left :(

It doesn't look ripped at all.

On another note, your website looks pretty damn amazing!

Thanks Dean ;D

Jemma keeps saying the positioning of things is "ripped" (Even tho every fansite positions things like that). I decided to take her ideas into action:

Wow your past layouts are fantastic, who designs them?

What about the current? :(

Well, the current design is based on our previous design.. so if we ripped clubhabbo then clubhabbo designed it.

But in all seriousness, if you're talking about v3 (the one I posted earlier) it was Simon (Invent) :)

[HotelUser]

By all means I was referring to your current layout as well, it's also very nice :P

Do you mind me asking how much money it all cost? Or is Invent working with you?

Using something obvious from another persons work.

Ah right, Simon only designed that one. I did the rest. I think the one by Simon was around £50 :)

Using something obvious from another persons work.
Which is from work that we purchased :P
