I was browsing the Kirupa forums and l stumbled upon [http://www.fadedpixel.com/](http://www.fadedpixel.com/) from someone’s sig. Thus, I decided to browse the site and got to [http://www.jasonmayo.net/](http://www.jasonmayo.net/) somehow. Then, it hit me! I’ve seen that same background on some random site I have visited long ago when I was searching for domain names. I tried to remember what it was and BAM! it came to me: [http://deepblue.com/](http://deepblue.com/) . I checked Jason Mayo’s work and [deepblue.com](http://deepblue.com) was nowhere to be found… so the question is: \*who ripped off who? \*
