[http://www.wgohosting.com/](http://www.wgohosting.com/) I’ve been told by people that the guy who owns this site stole the banner art and did not give any credit. Can anyone recognize the banner art and conferm? ---

Hi all, I own WGO Hosting - just to let you know, concerning the site you are referrencing above - I bought it in January. It originally was in German or some other language that I am not quite fluent in (like most of them). My partner is the web designer and he is the one who changed the language and added in the extra flash and the pics and the spinning see thru world, etc… I also own several others if you would like to go see them - just to note - most of them are free templates that have been altered but a few are pretty nice. [www.wgo-radio.com , [url=“http://www.nameyodomain.com”]www.nameyodomain.com , [url=“http://www.ngl-dc.com”]www.ngl-dc.com and others such as [url=“http://www.7threg.com”]www.7threg.com , [url=“http://www.sugasuga.us”]www.sugasuga.us (in final stages with a bit more to add) and coming soon [url=“http://www.lanuniverse.com”]www.lanuniverse.com](http://www.wgo-radio.com). There are others but you get the point. Glad to know we are talked about, I just hope that it can be in a good way - I try hard to give the best service and deals out there and not rape the gaming community on prices like some of the others. Take care all and I’ll check back to see your responses. [WGO]WiLeYcoYoTe ---

I am one of the other owners and the web developer. Interesting to see this kind of thread… Maybe someone needs to do some research before going and accusing a company of stealing a design. Never know who is looking upon these threads. We paid for our basic template (and we have the reciept) and then I modded it, ummm that is basic web-design techniques. I’m not sure was transpired this kind of thread but I suggest locking it since its a false accusation. Thanks for the support guys and please do visit our site [www.wgohosting.com](http://www.wgohosting.com) as we can give you a great deal on hosting or gameservers. ---

this is a old thread and nothing much was made of it. If you look at the 3rd post (by me). I stated it was a template. I knew it was the moment I saw it. So there was no rip off there. And I dont think the dude ever came back. So this thread just kinda died. I am not going to lock it however, just let it slip back into obscurity among the countless rip off threads… If you want some adive tho. Not enough was done to separate the design from the countless others who share this template. I recommend a rebuild to prevent this in the future. But it still looks better than some of the do it yourself sites. good luck ---
