Well 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. ---

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. ---

> [@idoik](#): > > Hmm, I guess its not really rip just him reposting the tut > > Ps, B3n gave Darkmotion [fadedpixel.com](http://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. ---

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](http://fadedpixel.com) was the originator of this footer tutorial- and It was posted on there **before** it was even posted on [kirupa.com](http://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](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](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](http://fadedpixel.com) asking me to show him how to do his work. Apperentely he owns [www.darkmotion.nl](http://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](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!😑 ---
