iHabbo.org - original?

[ThemoFairy]

There was recently a thread about iHabbo.org and moderators asked for some proof that this site rips. That thread was closed and I wanted to express some frustration in the fact that iHabbo rips images.

I am co-owner of HabbleFM.com, an Official UK Fansite. They ripped our entire original layout, designed by Tranceball aka Oli not too long ago. We contacted them and they took it down after much trouble. I looked their website up on the way back when machine but was unable to get the proof because their website is too new. I'll do my best to get an image.

I recently signed up on their forum to find that they have stolen many of our images from our forum. mattPARTY signed up on our forum and has no posts on it. Coincidence? Maybe. But I think it's more than likely that he was stealing our images.



Our very own Tranceball (he's known on this forum as Oli - and he's an amazing designer!) designed us emoticons just for our forum. He worked really hard on these icons.

I worked really hard to create new "reply/closed/create new thread/etc" post buttons. It took me ages to do all of them, especially to make the rounded edges transparent.

Watch out for these guys. They steal.

Pathetic when people steal your work, and badly put it back together again, and then lie about it :/

At least you have some proof. There's a site that shows screenshots of a site but I'll try and find it for you.

Contact his host? The site won't go anywhere anyway.

They also ripped Habbos.net's old habbo skin from when the old habbo style was out.

habbos.org and ihabbos.org both rip and fake users LOOOOL

Epic fail, I've seen how hard that you've worked on HabbleFM and that you'd not rip anything.. with this stupid noobs they feel the need to rip everything, I think host's suspend websites if they've ripped Habbo layouts or Habbo graphics and are not removing them, but that's as far as you'll get.

On Topic: That just goes to show that people rip because they can't make their own graphics.

I think you should contact their host. They'll get suspended if the hosts listen to you

Good luck!

Well they were on "maintenance" for a while and I was assured that our images would be removed. I went back on their site today to find that they removed the buttons that I created, but not Oli's emoticons. I have posted a response asking them once again to take them down, and if they do not I'll be shooting a message to their webhost.
