I have a few things to say regarding all this... and I know that it is actually none of my business... except Stu is a collegue of mine and I totally respect her.
Copying anyone's sites, in any respect, is a very bad thing... getting ideas from others sites... well that is a different matter.
While, after several readings, I know I don't understand exactly what Kre8or is saying... I do find it strange that someone who is not a newbie (and I did assume that incorectly via icq to Bratt)... and I think 5 years in the adult industry has been mentioned (please correct me if I am wrong there) does not see that copying ANYTHING is wrong.
Did Stuvelte and Bratt work together in the past? I have no idea and do not care really... Has Stuvelte's site been compromised because it has been copied... probably... Did the copier know it was wrong... of course they did... (5 years is a long time to figure this all out)
Yes, Ingrid is my friend and a reviewer at our link lists... but she is also one of the most professional people we have ever met in this industry. She is imaginative and, yes, has some bizarre ideas... that really work for her... she is one of the unique webmasters that really do analyse their clients and gives them what they want... Is she successful... shit YEAH! A true professional and a true success.
I am always impressed that she achieves so much and English is her second language.
I remember well when Dan was setting the site up for her and she was a total newbie.
Having seen that cache in yahoo... and having heard of her discussions a few weeks back... (via icq messges being forwarded on) about the same issue... I am certainly not surprised that this thread exists, (my only surprise was she didnt post in the correct forum... but thankfully someone at GG&J moved it) It had to. No one sits back and lets their unique work be copied... do we??? No... we bitch on boards... report to hosts and sponsors... we try and rectify what is wrong... and copying (in any respect) is wrong.
Professional webmasters do not copy anything. And (sadly) if they do, they certainly do not upload them. .. they modify and make them their own. Meta tags are certainly not that difficult for a couple of webmasters who have been in the industry over 12 months. (or 5 years)
I dont know who Wasi is, or who Twiceshy is... but I would like to offer this friendly advice to them both: It is always good to back up a friend if you feel they are being attacked in an unfounded way... but it is also a good idea to have some substance to your posts. Have some strong facts to back up how you feel. I am sure people would read your posts with more compassion and understanding.
