LOL, caught a theme rip-off

Exactly, how does it feel to be “ripped-off” of ideas? More so, to be “ripped-off” of your “physical” designs? Ugh. Take a look a this. Open a new browser tab, navigate to this page and make sure you are able to compare the two. Notice the difference?

  • The layout?
    Notice the difference?
    No.
  • The typography?
    Typography
    No.
  • The stylesheets
    mine
    and
    rip-off
    HELL! No.

The only difference I could see are the James Bond-related background images. If ThemeViewer has employed more moderators to “keep down” the volume of theme rip-offs, perhaps this one was cunning enough like James Bond to get past their scrutiny.

Honestly, I wouldn’t fret this much if the creator of this rip-off theme had the courtesy to modify the CSS of the original theme. Dude, it’s not easy to code these things.

UPDATE: Got this email from the maintainer of ThemeViewer, TheUndersigned:

Thanks for the notice, the theme has been deleted. :)

Sincerely,
Thomas Silkjær

Now all I can say is we need to be vigilant if we don’t want anybody desecrating our creations. :P Thanks for the quick action.
