As an aside, if I made a style that looked exactly like someone elses but used different css code to achieve it, does that violate their copyright? Is it the code that's copyrighted for the style or the appearance?

I'd assume both but I might well be wrong.
 
Do you guys like my new upcoming release? It uses Shared common usage code, and a few things I found on google.

How's the new style Slavik, it's unique but I had someone else help me.

You're in the right. Everyone can see it and agrees with you. I don't see that you're going to win anything by pushing this though, it's only going to piss you off more.

Go make a website to sell your styles on and let us buy them :-)
 
To reiterate what I said earlier: Just for the record, I think a third party Resource Manager type site for XenForo add-ons and styles is an awful idea. It doesn't help to solve anything. It's just another system where add-on developers like myself have to maintain support and updates on, another place to make releases, etc.

It provides no benefit whatsoever and in fact just serves as potentially yet another place where your hard work is going to be redistributed and plagerised without your permission.
I don't like working on any other site than my own. My other site failed so hard that I am turned off from making any other site.

I use that wasted license on Xen-SEO. That site's just been sitting there unused. I created it for MrGoodie2Shoes because he said he needed a site to release his vbSEO-like addon for Xenforo.

Well several months later it's not been released and he now has his own xenforo site. So it's like uh well, *uses xen-SEO as a live testing site for addons

That's what I use it for. If anyone wants to make it an alternative for addons I'll be okay with that but they have to moderate.

Only people who really do care about other people's rights, copyrights etc should moderate a resource type site.

I'm much too busy to but if others like the gung ho members in this thread wanted to that would be great since it's obvious the moderators here don't care.

Not mad :), just things need to changed, I'm coding a design in the background so I'm happy :)

To clarify the mods never removed any of them.

Adam removed them after being contacted by the rightful owner.

Cool, just don't get pissed off and "quit" as that'd be such a shame :-)
 
There is nothing that you can do will stop piracy.

Creating a separate site is not a solution either. Within old vBulletin days there was vbhackers and other sites that coders can release their site but none of those alternate sites worked fully.

I am not going to take any sides but if i ever create any mod for Xenforo , i will never share it on Xenforo after latest events. It is basically sad to see this community being a perfect place ( friendship , fast releases , bright future etc.. ) to turn into a catastrophic community.
 
Ya'll are so negative. A separate site is a solution just like xenfans were. I really liked that site.

You just need moderators who care and peeps that won't close the site for random life issues.

whatever ever happened to that site anyway? Thought it was going pretty good, then I left the forum world for a bit, come back and it was gone...strange1
 
Not rage quitting, just posting my resources on my own site, that's it.

I'm glad you liked that post though Slavik, least we know how you feel too.

Your right, ill tell you why.

The mature authors who have had problems contacted us directly, didn't cause any drama, didn't go making public accusations or abuse, and asked us politely to remove the offending content and provided us the evidence. The offending content was examined, and removed. Those authors still partake and maintain addons here.

You then have the other side of the coin, who do the exact opposite. Who rage quit and delete their content.

You tell me what sort of person I would rather deal with. And after your comment above linking my site, you can guess how much substance the rest of your posts now carry with me? It just shows me what sort of a person you are. I post up willing to help provided you give me the evidence, you provide me with hearsay and abuse.


However, upon reading the 8 different threads / resource releases to do with these 2 styles (as to why one isn't enough is beyond me). It seems that it may be Adam was the victim of someone using a style of a ripped style. As to why the helper of Adams work would do that, then call him out on it is equally as puzzling.

Since then Adam has removed the content himself, so there is no further action required.
