OMG ! I just woke up and this was the first thread I browsed. **This gets me soooo pissed !!!** We should hack the site and put a big “Stole from [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com)” right in the middle of it on font 63. _FEELS ANGRY_ I hate people who take credit off someone else’s work ! Oh man, I am seriously considering taking down that site somehow 😱 _Gathers Jubba and Dan_ ---

looks like techhelping is run by the same girl… not likely to get much help there but the hosting company will probably have something to say about it 🙂 ---

GG’s guestbook has been “updated.” it looks like all of our comments got pushed to the back of the list. Somebody made about two pages of “Oh GG this is a great site!!” comments. (Suspicious if you ask me) ---
