Fansite Copying Rooms for Fansite Week?

iBlueBox · 04-04-2013, 07:15 PM

I noticed for Thishabbo's fansite week next week with them going for a Hogwarts theme! I thought great! I love Hogwarts been apart of many Hogwarts RPs and I went into the group entrances room of the fansite Hogwarts room and it looked practically the same with shape and layout of the room to FiendFyres popular Hogwarts on habbo! He even tagged him in the room!

Then I noticed the owner of the fansite was part of a Hogwarts group that I used to apart of that currently only has the rooms open for group members. I stalked the owner as he was selling his 'official' fansite badge as a trophy with the new badge cases only to be let into his potion room. To find that the potion room is exactly the same as Vellos Hogwarts one!

Here's a few screen shots!

I would of thought that a fansite being fansite of the week would be more original!

However judging from the evidence so far, It just looks like the fansite is copying various different Hogwarts Rooms and calming them as their own.

I did notice the similarities in the room but I just assumed it wasn't official and I assumed the owner of the original knew about it. It does seem a little weird, but whatever floats their boat I guess. They'll have a hella people accusing them. That main entrance is terrible and irDez does seem to have the ability to ruin a good room.

Yeah that's what I was thinking many people will probably recognise and accuse him of copying. I don't think anyone actually knows from that Hogwarts.

I don't mind if fansites do it as long as they credit original designer, which clearly they haven''t done, shame on them

If they try pull it off as one of their own designs, then shame on them. But like Warren said, if they credit the original creators then it's not too bad. But I'd like to see new ideas/designs.
