Faisal, sorry that got through. It has been removed and the person who did it has been notified. Unfortunately, since there are thousands of skins, themes, and walls on here, it is impossible to remember them all.

Dang, and I gave the bum a real nice complement on it and on the name, even DLed the thing.
Thanks Faisal, the complement then is yours.

I forgot all I had said though.

On a positive note, this thread did bring faisal's wallpapers to my attention again. I had forgotten how many really nice wallpaper's faisal has made. I use Chaos Simplified allot when I want a nice green desktop theme

Speaking of rips I was browsing over at DA and found this freak stealing one of queezendorfs images......"Mollusk" and had emailed Josh that it was being ripped and he told DA and it has since been removed but he has another image that looks very familiar to something I remeber JamMeister did but if anyone knows for sure please tell him that his stuff is being ripped too. Here's the link http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/1446178

I agree............I'm afraid to even use an idea I see from another image because I don't want to be accused of ripping it off....but that's just me. The web has so many portals where images are shared, viewed, D/L and whatever else that it's impossible to know when one has been ripped. Everone just keep your eyes peeled and don't be afraid to speak up cuz I know those low lifes who don't care will continue doing it because it's not hard to create a new account or change your name, etc...I'm depressed now

I also think mattboy's thread about "How I know if my wall made it" or what ever it's called should be removed >

shame really, as i look at my uploads and others like a online portfolio, NOT "lets see who else's i can rip because that person is too lazy to learn art"

I just like to skin for fun and i enjoy it plus share it with others aswell as give credit to other ports of such.

JamMeister33 has alerted the Admins at DA to the rip.

Hmm. Bryce balls and rings? Not exactly an uncommon image. :/

Mind you using the name name is a bit much.
