| ive just recieved a message in my inbox about fbc.
i was a member there years ago, but it died.
anyway i checked it out, and the forum is a rip off of this place....now i know the forums are set templates, but the scolling logos everything. its a rip off.
i dont know who is responsible for this, but they should feel ashamed.
anyone else seen/heard/know who is responsible?
or does anyone even agree with me? or am i being harsh? or even out of the loop? i noticed there are alot of memebers there. |

| Its the exact same theme with the exact same colours (which you can choose yourself in most cases).
Even the font is the same, except that the admin on FBC capitalizes the first letter.
I think it's pathetic.
EDIT: Our logos scroll smoother. |

| i glad someone agress with me.
im no expert of making forums, but i gather someone has just copied kerry's work here then 'pasted' it on a new forum.
cheap shot/laziness/blatant disrespect.....unless Kerry made it? which i dont think he did. |

| As much as I like FBC, yeah I think it's silly. The old layouts were totally different, this ones just a rip off. |

| the other day this was only slightly similar.. now? fuuuuck it's a total rip off.
not cool to come here, try and get people to go there, suggest that I merge FBHQ into FBC, and then have the audacity to rip off here design wise?
pretty fucking lame. |

| His name is Sunday FB on here Ross!
Also, Ben, if you're reading this:
I don't know how the fuck you have the guts to do what you're doing, first off you open up your bullshit distribution, then attempt to revive FBC yet again? I can see through your plan, get FBC running again to get more sales. And why would FBHQ ever want to merge with FBC? There's nothing to merge with! Sounds more like 'Ben wants admin rights on FBHQ, because we achieved what he never could'. And no matter how much of a crappy defense you put up, you're excuses are bullshit. You didn't work hard on the theme, you blatantly copied it. This theme wasn't just designed by Kerry, it was designed by the whole forum, oh, I guess yours was too, with you being the only member. How fucking dare you take the weeks of effort that we put in, Kerry especially, who put it all together, and just completely rip it off? Seriously, don't come back. We don't need people like you in our community, do what you like in your own half-assed community, but don't come here and diminish our years of hard work to get this place where it is now. |

| I haven't ripped anything from FBHQ, I've designed it myself and spent quite a while on it actually. The scrolling bar that we have are companies that have been friends with us for a long time. FBC has been around since 2008 and I understand that everyone is attached to FBHQ on here. I've actually been planning on bringing back FBC for quite a while, just haven't had much time. If you consider that a rip off than I suppose FBHQ ripped FBC's forum software back in 2009. Both communities that we have are great and I encourage everyone to share the great experience on both sites. |
