Case #8: Prefill

Case #8

Suspect: Prefill

Reason: Stealing Fragrance's codes and using it for her own layouts.

This is the comparison between Fragrance and Prefill's codes.

As you can see, both layout codes are pretty much similar.
She even kept the #FFffff there by accident, and also the padding and margin at the bottom. Dumb much?
I'm pretty sure you can tell those codes are stolen.

When confronted about the code theft, this is what she said:

It is quite sad that she is getting so butthurt.
She can get reported for using insults and foul language. (:

So after confronting her, she locked up her homepage shop and even set her page to private.
LOL. If everybody uses that code, why'd you set your page to private and lock your shop? ==

So everyone, please be aware of this user if you have ever purchased her layouts. Take your page down immediately if you have one of her layouts.

 

CASE #7: Nycky

OMG, this person is seriously pissing so many people off, YET HER LAYOUTS STILL GET SOLD.

Suspect: Nycky

Reason: Stealing Fragrance's codes and using it for her own layouts

Visit Nycky's shop HERE.

All layouts original and fully coded? YAH DON'T THINK SO.

How is this not called code theft? Wtf.

One dumb person after another.

Here is more proof:

A code that Fragrance uses:

textarea,#input{color:#7C6A5;font-family:small fonts;font-size:5pt;border:1px #7C6A5 solid dashed;text-transform:uppercase;background-color:#FFffff;}

 And here is one in Nycky's codes:

textarea,#input{color:#7C6A5;font-family:small fonts;font-size:5pt;border:1px #7C6A5 solid dashed;text-transform:uppercase;background-color:#FFffff;}

 Oh yeah, it wasn't even necessary to go back and grab Nycky's stolen codes, because afterall, it's the same as Fragrance's.

Here is what she said after we confronted her.

" you have never bought my layouts. then as you know I'm using the codes Fragrance?
How can you accuse anyone without proof, because I did not used any code and fragrance. instead of wasting time slandering people, better learn to codes."

 Proof was given to her, and she remained speechless, closed her shop and made a new one! Wtfbiotch.

A few people had posted in her new shop warning others not to buy from her, but she then requested a mod to delete those posts, and continued with her shop, where a customer bought a layout from her for 90k.

She also mentioned that she had learned those codes off a website. Yeah right, links to the  pages you learned off were sent to me and nothing, NOTHING in your codes were on that website. 

Her layout designs are also obviously copied off Fragrance's, and selling them for 75k - 90k? Seriously?

It's not even worth it if the codes are stolen.

How sad can you be?

 

CASE #6: Seriously

Suspect: Seriously

Reason: Copied/edited Uihara's current HP layout and put it up for sale.

Uihara's current HP layout:

 

The thief's premade layout:

You can see that the layout was copied and then re-edited to its own colors, which looks pretty damn bad.

Uihara has had her layout up for a pretty long while, so it is obvious that Seriously was the one who stole her layout.

If you want to visit Seriously's shop, click here. It is shown as PREMADE #1.

Seriously's response on the 21st of March 2011:

Here is the text version of the message:

I'm not sure which one of you to contact as there are many people who use the HBAD forums.

This, Click, is unacceptable.

I did not steal/edit over/copy that layout. I didn't even make that layout. Chihiro came to me and asked me to code it for her and add her name in text at the top right box. After the whole issue with Hime being my collab partner in the shop and finding out she was an art thief, I closed down that shop. It was never up for sale as a premade, it was up as an example of layouts I've worked with/coded.

Why is it that my case was the only one posted without contacting me and asking me to explain myself or for proof even?
Knowing that Chihiro stole that layout now, I'm pretty sure if I asked her about it she'd deny the whole thing making it look worse on my part. If she still even exists as this was in August of '10 that my blog was created.

Thanks for ruining my legit and honest name over something that you guys didn't even know about.

Update: Seriously later went on to deny she made that layout in an exchange with another member from IMVU:

CASE #5: Allureex

Suspect: Allureex

Reason: Copying and frauding vanessa674x's homepage layout.

vanessa674x's homepage layout:

Allureex's homepage layout:

You can see the obvious similarities. The thief had replaced the navigation bar with her own links and just plain failed at cropping/re-editing back in the designs on each side of the navigation bar.

vanessa674x says:

[ Allureex has in the past asked me to make her layouts but has then decided she does not want them,
Then a few days back she invited me to 3d client but I was not there at that moment,
so the next day I re-invited her and asked her "Did you want to ask me anything?"

And she replied, "I was going to ask you for a layout but I know how to make iFrames now." 

And I replied by saying: "Oh, okay thats fine. Just tell me if you need anything."
Then two days later she turns around and does this D:< .]

How horrible. 

Never trust these types of people ._.

They can't get their own originality and just steal people's works.
