Creating Cool Footers - by Ben Watson aka B3Nkobe | 22 November 2005 on Kirupa
and
Cool Footer- Posted On: **03-12-2006 **at 01:52 AM on Bratz-design
Judging by the date, I would say that the last one is a ripoff.
or b3nkobe himself:)
what does the thread he links say? It may (but prolly not judging by the respsones) give credit to the actual designer. Seems pretty shady to me.
Hmm, I guess its not really rip just him reposting the tut
Ps, B3n gave Darkmotion fadedpixel.com
Yea, that we know… but even so… you should still give credit to where credit is deserved. He didn’t make the tutorial so he shouldn’t lay claim to it. If I make you a pumkin pie and you share it with someone else, it doesn’t mean you made it.
I am sorry I didnt think he whould claim he made a tut his friend wrote.
Maybe they talked and he said he didn’t need credit, I dunno, if he aint pissed we shouldn’t be.
BTW: I hate forums like that where they dont have footer restrictions and everybody has at least 4 with text in between, drives me MADDDDD!
Um- fadedpixel.com was the originator of this footer tutorial- and It was posted on there before it was even posted on kirupa.com
Since B3n left- He put the site under my control- So I put up his tutorial
and usagi… If you read the tutorial @ http://fadedpixel.com/?p=16 you will notice that I said “By the founder of fadedpixel- Ben Watson- aka- B3nkobe”
My footer does not look like that- it is missing the scanlines- so obviously this “darkmotion” has 100% ripped our tutorial. Ben custom made my footer for me- and now this person has posted their own crappy version of it.
What’s sad is that person has the same username as me- and is ripping off the work that our team produces…
I am stumped as to why someone would even bother to rip the tute- It’s even credited to b3n on the kirupa tutorial!
edit
Further backing up my evidence look ing at that forum thread
http://www.bratz-designs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20675&page=2
HE claims to have permission to use the tutorial
ben is a loser he al screwd us he’s the one who left
At Fadedpixel and BTW admin fadedpixel whahaha
Ben is not a member of that community anymore he stopped
he’s a loser
And again btw i had permission so good luck fool hahaha
^ this guy DID NOT GET PERMISSION from us from ben and even after ben left.
Seb, me and Fasterthanlight are the only three who give permission for things to be reproduced!
WOW I am stoaked that this dude would go to this level!
edit again I have just found out it was the dude who is ripping my work- check out some of the comments on fadedpixel.com asking me to show him how to do his work. Apperentely he owns www.darkmotion.nl
And I posted this in a thread a week or two ago telling how my style was even beign ripped
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1806039&postcount=25
IF anyone is a part of that forum could you please ask the dude why the hell he ripped it? It’s bad enough that he copied it and wrote “do not copy” over it, but having the SAME username? I’m really not happy!
posted on the site:)
i’m one of the unregistered guys
great
Hi I saw this post and searched for the site ‘darkmotion.nl’, but the url is still free. It’s not registered.
So it’s probably some attention deprived teenager…
Dutchy
^tried it too it leads me to a dead link
:lol:
OO Eilsoe- I remember u were ripped a while ago- how did ya get the ripper?
*edit more searching found this - I actually made this and sent it to him on msn - not knowing he was the ripper a few weeks ago…
http://www.bratz-designs.com/forums/showthread.php?p=95959#post95959
That was done by me as a test… and now he stole it-
http://www.bratz-designs.com/forums/showthread.php?p=92611#post92611
Again- now ripping my glowy tenatcles around building with shiny dripping text - this time from my flash intro [URL=“http://www.fadedpixel.com/darkmotion/”]http://www.fadedpixel.com/darkmotion/
Yep and some more cheap - poorly executed versions of footers- with MY logo on it ( the pink text was the early beginnings of my logo)
http://www.bratz-designs.com/forums/showthread.php?p=91030#post91030 and a ripoff of my current footer…
Geez this is scary everytime I go back I am finding my work/ A rip of my work under his posts…
just look how badly he copied my forum footer… 
correct me if I’m wrong (Can’t access the forum anymore), but didn’t he rip off your name as well? It seems like he thinks he’s you!
need to be a registered user to view the site?
Nope just post 
got a message from him…

together. And About your wallpaper i thought you made it for me sorry for
that i’m sorry for that but i just wanted Bratzer to make it in a little banner
Don’t Be mad dude i have never taken credit for the tutorial or your Wallpaper
So i will hope this makes everything clear.
I would love to make the tutorial Again new look and Than give Cred to fadedpixel

And about the Moon Footer i have made that myself when i was still active on
Fadedpixel never used a tutorial for that footer. And your text the pink thing
i just love i made it myself never used a tutorial for that i just had a look at your
wallpaper and i knew how to make it so please don’t call me a ripper.
