Firstly, I believe Site when he says he didn't get the idea from you.

Secondly, Even if he did, Theres no rule about taking an idea from someone elses board. :r

What that's ludicrous.. I never heard of such a thing.. How is he able to just copyright those words.. I thought copyrighting means you couldn't have the "same" or "exact" words. I don't think Xzibit can just copyright Pimp My.. He copyrighted "Pimp My Ride".

RFB, I didnt steal your Idea, I thought of it as well. You want me to shut it down because I might become a competator. I wont trust me I just made it up for fun. Man, you Cannot copyright a certian phrase, because it is very commen. Trust me I've tried it.

And plus your using it on a free forum, which you didn't pay for, and your services, should be used on like a site, and then complain.

Tis not the phrase,

IF Styles has always been here to "Be Different" What i am looking to get copyrighted is the actuial idea behind the name. And as deathstarr said, If someone copyed this idea from the Skin zone, their board would be under scrutiony rather quickly, i should know, seeing the amount of cases there were where someone just stole the general layout. We wish to maintain the difference and uniqueness that seperates us from other boards. Plain and simple man, tis not about the phrase, you took the actual idea for the service behind the phrase and thats whats sending me into this rant.

If justice would be done for our main compeditor, why wont it be done for IF Styles?

Well, coke and pepsi do the same thing basically. So if someone came around and made a service called Forum Makeovers, it's basically the same as what you guys do I think.
Is the idea to review someone's board and change the whole style, look?

And your guidelines look a bit strange (you say staff member will PM to ask for Admin CP access but then later you say "We will not pm you and ask you for Admin CP access"?).

Sure you can, you see it somewhere, or someone tells you about it, you claim it as your own. Tis that simple. <_<

Replying to the above post, We wont pm and ask for admin CP access on their board. I have to re-word it.

That has nothing to do with this situation, so I'm curious as to why you are bringing it up?

anyway..

I dont see why all this bickering is going on. Its just a bunch of words. Site - you could easily make up a new and creative name that doesnt involve the words Pimp up my forum. Or.. Pimp my forum. Or Pimp at all.

Does it matter what the thing is called? Not really! You will both still be doing the same thing..

Site.. Its just the principle of the situation.. If your forum created something completely new and unique, then you stumbled upon another forum with the same exact service and the same exact name.. Wouldnt you be the slightest bit upset? Dont say you wouldnt be, because I know you would..

FS has been screwed over quite a few times.. They are an up and coming forum, that does provide a great service and a great community..

Im sure your forum wants to do the same thing. Instead of fighting over this why not compromise, and work something out..

The bickering and all.. Thats just pointless, and a tad bit immature as well.. From both of you..

I was trying to find out what the idea was and the forum only had the guidelines topic and noticed that. Probably should have pm'ed raging about that instead.
