'Their' site: http://www.chinadivecommunity.com/english/divesites.asp

Our site: http://shop.tokyocube.com/

They didn't even bother to remove the original links or references to our site in the code - they've just commented them out.

Dozy bastards. You got in touch with them yet?

Unlike the previous rips this one doesnt look like yours... but from the code its obviously taken from TC. But its fucked in FF (dont know if its the same in IE) all misaligned and looks like pieces of the page are missing?

I presume you found it from your site stats?

Ha!

That's almost funny (not for you though).

I was looking at that and thinking "Hold on, that look exactly like a site I was admiring the other day... what was it.."

Your site was linked on styleboost? Or was it cssremix.. I can't remember.

Anyway - I wouldn't worry about it - yours looks much better and the parts that they've actually done themselves have ruined the good work that you did. Take it as a complement.

Nice work though - it's funny that this has come up as I was honestly looking at it a couple of days ago thinking "Hmm, I could rip that site.."

Joking...

Just dropped them an email - will wait and see if they reply.

Been seeing this site pop up in our referrals for a while now (presumably while they've been copying it), but have only now been able to see it since they put it on their live server.

Only thing that looks the same is the "Editors Choice." Image. Wouldn't say it was a total rip, they took inspiration from your background and gradient on the container box - but that's nothing original anyway.

Their site looks really shit compared to yours.

Why do people keep ripping that? :S

[sub]

Because it's good. And people are lazy.

I don't know if I'd call that a rip exactly. It's quite similar in places, but not nearly as bad as the last one.

[adras]

The layout is very very similar.

You wouldn't call downloading someone's site graphics and changing the colours etc a rip? Not to mention the fact there's chunks of our code still in there (css, links, layout etc)

I guess it's no where near as blatent as the previous rip. Nonetheless, if this kind of thing isn't classed as a rip then I'm wasting a whole lot of time building stuff myself, when I could just jump on someone elses site and download the lot for free.

Doesn't Adobe golive actually allow you to do that (point at a site and nick it)
