I see some very recent skins there, including my Linear WB.

Man, they're fast!

I sent an email to the address listed, but haven't heard back. I would be a little surprised if anything comes of it.

Good on you for finding that site and letting folks here know Pictoratus... but a question begs asking...
How did you find that site, since its all in Korean language? I'm intrigued...

I was doing web searches to see if my personal website had been spidered. I saw the sites I expected (WC, DA, etc.), but didn't recognize mytheme.net
Clicked the link and there was my Core Beatnik skin. Did a little browsing around and recognized a lot of skins!

Hey everyone. They're still lurking around here. They have chris mitchell's "iglass" which was just submitted on 11/27. This thread started on 11/26 >

...Add me to the ripped list > I'm looking at the page through a translator and from what I can gather the guy who is posting most of our skins "icecreamer" is the site admin, I could be wrong though, hard to understand the translation. Ironically he has copyright notices everywhere on the site > I did get to the message board but I can't figure out how to post... yet

Ideally someone who can speak the lingo would be best suited to post appropriate complaint/s.....I can provide the wording....and I'm sure the NRA can provide the muscle....

I loaded the page in altavista's translator and it worked pretty well, but I still can't figure out how to post a message or who is in charge. Like I said, it looks like the guy who is stealing our stuff, icecreamer, is the guy who is in charge of the site, and the site is copyrighted. That's all I can gather without being able to speak korean.

I went on to email both 'Icecreamer' and 'REDsun'
Both in english and korean (with the help of a translator) I have not gotten any response yet. >
I've notice they have not only stolen skins/designs from this site but also from DA

That's farther than I got, I'm still trying to figure out how to post on their message board though, I think that might do more good, maybe if their users see what kind of scum they are we'll get some results

Hiya Knatzz. Im pretty good but a little ticked off about this rip issue.
The email addies are;

Icecreamer: cho_kyu_hwan @ hotmail.com
REDsun: sthan70 @ msn.com

teriyam @ msn.com << This last one seems to be the webmaster.

Thankya very much Sir! I'm pretty mad myself. I haven't figured out how to post on their messageboard yet and that's frustrating. I'll write to each of those addresses in english and korean though.

Last time I tried a translator [to Russian] the results were so 'entertaining' I doubt anyone would have taken notice....

'Your hovercrafts is full of jellied eels....'....

Hehe, translators are funny. If you use babelfish with the site you get some good stuff...Like "If Background Painting" or "List it sees, The next page."

Oh, also I tried registering a user on the site just to see if that helped me somehow, but you need a registration number of some sort (or so I gathered with the use of a translator), so I have no idea, without knowing korean.

Yup, babelfish is what I've been using and it's damn near impossible to figure out. We need to find someone who speaks english and korean. I'm pretty sure they're going to try the "no comprende' english" crap like our old comrad volter did anyways. If they remove all the work they stole they won't even have a site.

knatzz...I got around our friend Volter and his 'non-comprende' by going direct to Opera and requesting they remove 'his' work....which they did...[clearly my non-Norwegian is better than my non-Russian]...

@Jafo ...What really makes me mad is that if they asked permission to put my "hovercraft of jellied eels" on their "list it sees" I would have probably let them. With volter you were able to go over his head to get "his work" removed... I don't think this one is gonna be as easy. The site admins appear to be the thiefs and if they take down what they stole they wouldn't have a site anymore. They have to understand the law though because their site is copyrighted (says so in english) Oh well, I guess we just have to keep emailing them (OFTEN)

I emailed ice creamer a couple of days ago, (on behalf of everyone here) and told him that (at least I) did not give permission to have my skins posted on that site and demanded that my skins be removed. I never heard from the guy, but all my skins have been removed. At least all my skins with his name attached to them. I didnt notice another one at first, "xp nurse" that has red suns' name attached to it. That one still remains. I think I'll email him next. Maybe if everyone emails these two people, we might have some success. The nerve of these people!
