Dan is just angry on the forum. He is pretty mellow in real life (from what I have heard) I am mellow on the forum, but I am a very angry person in real life…

Here is a screenshot for those who haven’t seen it: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/copy.jpg](http://www.kirupaforum.com/copy.jpg)

I was e-mailed by someone called “J” about this site. It wasn’t something I was actively searching for hehe. Also, the individuals of the business are not the same people who created the web site. I received an e-mail shortly from customer support telling me that they have taken the site down to further investigate this matter.

Cheers!

Wow, that truely is an exact rip colors and all. The funny thing is that anything they did change is actually way uglier and less professional than your stuff. I wonder if hosting unlimited can sue the people who “designed” their site to get their money back (You could sue, but no loss came to you of this, hosting unlimited probably paid money for this layout). I am sure they didn’t intentionally pay for an exact copy/rip-off of a site.
