http://retro-kiss.info from dragonrust.org Mike wanted us to post this.
I was recently enlightened of some stealing of a layout.
The layout that was stolen was mine and was entered into a competition, edited (very unsubtly may I add), which tried to give money or a domain.
Here's the entered layout:
she seems to have edited her post now , but already knowing how immature and sly she will be I screenshotted it on receiving the news: Screenshotand mine:http://dragonrust.org
I PMed this person at kawaiiville, and they said:
"I bought the layout from a user here named retro-kiss i didn't know it was stolen."
whereas she told me herself she knew she had a stealing history before ("poonam found out she deleted her account i recently found out she stole content.". Stupid, or what?
I asked her for proof as I wasn't believing her.
This is her proof (read from bottom to top):
"Right i copied this from my email box and btw ur email doesnt work when i use microsoft outlook any reason?

hey i dot ur request for custom layout what are the colors u want the layout and iframes or div"
I then contacted this supposed stealer, retro-kiss and got this the first reply:
do you have any proof i did sell a layout to a girl named retrolicious on kawaiiville.

If you did, it's stealing.
I then showed her the proof and got this rather pathetic reply:
whats the bottom 4 k srry i took the layout it was awsome and i really liked it k anyway it was a dare 2 take it and i gave it 2 her 4 pts @ ezyrewards srry i no it was a bad thing 2 do k anyway im rlly truly SORRY ok.I just cant make awsome graphics like you your layouts are soo good i love them.I guess im a hopeless ittle loser.
I emailed her back asking who 'dare'd her.
So one of them's obviously a stealer (or both) - I think they are perhaps the same person since retrolicious knew the other would 'fess' up. :SMike quotes:" being that they're the same person I find it rather amusing that she herself made a thread exposing someone about stealing. LOL."
