Just in the last 24 hours we have had someone "steal" one of our pay site buttons and use it as a TGP recip, and the same person steal a page of text from one of our sites to use on their own site.
Borrowing images, names, ideas... IMO is not "borrowing"... it's stealing.
Adult Buffet - was probably - by definition - the very first TGP.
Blaze and his site HardcoreJunky are long standing and a "friend" of mine.
Dr B has a long list of thiefs that traffic in his names -

GG and Tommy are constantly battling with people that steal their names and designs. Like the thief that Opti mentioned.. and it surprises me the people that frequent this board link with these low-lifes.
..and I have the same problems with my domains, design and ideas.
There is no excuse, there is no justification, and all of us have spent time chasing these people done and fighting to maintain our own businesses..
We could all do without the hassle, cost and headache.
