Cherry Picked Links, did you really need to copy my recip code?
 

Looks like you basically just copied my recip code and then changed a few things. |angry|

Fuck You! :(

Yup, sure looks like the way you coded them. |lightsabe

Wow, I didn't see what your point was until I clicked one of his links and the new page loaded. Yes, he did change a few things. His are RED.

I get inspiration from people's sites because you want to follow the model of the successful, but damn, some folks out their just steal the source. Amazing.

Someone should tell Cherry Picked that, in this case, imitation is not flattery, it's thievery.

Cherry Picked Links|pissleft|

New rule, Cherry Picked Links (cherrypickedlinks.com) recips are banned. You will not get listed if you have a recip to them.

Fucking thieving design code stealing low life. |angry|

Crack that Whip!

|sandm

|knockout| Cleo’s have to do list.


WTF ya doing post links to viruses |angry|

yea cleo i noticed that a while back and thought the same thing when i seen it

and myself need to make a few but would atleast ask if i was to use somebodies coding and put mine in.. plus would make it look different..

but yours was unique in design, he should have asked and made it more different

hey shags your the one who told me..

"Anyway I doubt the banner from LesbianTreats have a high CTR. The lesbian are hiding behind some annoying design, looks like a Nickelodeon banner"

and then cleo catches you for copying her recip |jester|

Shags

What's up with copying her code without asking?

I can se there is some misunderstanding here!

Cleo have to do list:
Cherry Picked Links for stealing recip.
Fanaticfuckers for stealing pictures.

You guys think is my sig

|jester|

I hate that shit!! they really suck for doing that..



|raygun|

Shags you are on my watch list |angry|

WTF |sad|

I ended up doing a whois on you and also looking to see what IP your were posting from after your earlier post. It really did look like you had Cherry Picked Links in your sig. It wasn't until I looked at what you had for a board sig and saw that you didn't have a board sig that I realized you aren't the owner of Cherry Picked Links.

Sometimes it is difficult to know what a person really meant by reading their post.

You need to be very clear in what you are posting or people are going to get the wrong idea of what it is you are trying to say.

I now, it took me some time before I realized it. Even after plateman and surfn post.
The submit page on Cherry, link back to this board. Thought you guys know him.

|hammer

OK, this is my first post on this board. Hopefully not my last.

I wrote an email to Cleo shortly after she did this post. I apologized and acknowledged that copying her code was wrong. I offered to work things out with her and change the code. I did not hear back.

I've now belatedly realized that I should go ahead and do the right thing unilaterally.

I have changed my recips to a very simple table without any mouseover effect.

I don't expect a medal for making this change. It would be nice if Cleo got rid of her rule banning my recips, but that is up to her.

Hopefully I will be forgiven by Cleo, Danger Dave (who also banned me) and everyone else in the webmaster community. Until then:

It looks like too little too late to me.

Main Entry: cherry-pick

Function: verb

Definition: to choose the best items from a selection for oneself, often in an unfair manner

Usage: derogatory

I wouldn't expext a big group hug any time soon.

No group hug, but Cleo has been kind and generous enough to un-ban me.

Well I'll be damned! I thought she was a bigger hard-ass than that. It was very good and honest of you to step up to the plate and admit that you had copied her code though. You can bet most others would have denied it to their graves and called it an odd coincidence.

I have not unbanned you and in fact have deleted and ban your other stuff as well.

Yes I also know that Nastysurfer is you too.

You are just a low life piece of shit so just go away.

must have been one hell of a html table and an one in a kind mouse over effect to get this upset about it.

He went to my page and downloaded it and then did a fast search and replace and then put up the work as his own. Doesn't matter what it was he still stole my work. He is also a multiple nick submitter and in general just seems like a piece of shit.

Cleo tell us what you really think :D

Here's a question for everyone reading to ponder, not just Cleo.

If after someone admits he was wrong, apologizes and rectifies what he did -- and people still call him a "piece of shit" and ban him -- what is the incentive to do the right thing? The only incentive would be to follow his own conscience, which is ultimately what I did here. I have no regrets. But being this harsh to someone who is willing to own up to what he did is ultimately probably a poor life strategy.

By unbanned I meant that Cleo apparently no longer has a rule that she will not list sites that have my recip on them.

As to the "multiple nick submitter" thing, I have only ever used two nicknames for submitting, each of them associated with a different domain. I have not used them at the same time; I used one first then I stopped using it and adopted another. If there is some rule you are stuck with a nick for life I'd have been more careful to adopt one I really liked.

Have you ever heard less is more |goodnight

Yes but traditionally that philosophy is not followed on adult webmaster message boards.

It's been nearly 5 months since this first kicked off.... so why didn't you just replace the code back then?

You didn't offer to rectify the problem, you just offered to "work things out"... what was there to work out?

Why didn't you just remove the offending code and then try and build bridges?

I should have. Ultimately I realized that and that's what I'm trying to do.

Come on noone is ever gonna trust you :( You admitted to using two user names to submit and for a reviewer or a Link list owner that sends up a flag and then add that to the fact that you copied Cleos stuff then leave it up now ya want to make nice but it fact all you are doing is digging a deeper hole for yourself its all about trust here and man you sure are not getting any at this point for sure :(
