(PSA) Jacking Swag

[nude]

Jacking other people's code/ideas isn't cool, bro. Seriously, it doesn't feel great when you see things flagrantly stolen from you with no semblance of credit whatsoever. Not even an, "Oh! Guys, I saw this done in (link)'s layout, so I want to try and figure it out for myself and take complete credit for it!" and not even so much as a "LOL look what I stole from (link)".

I won't call you out directly, even though I want to. You know who you are and shame on you.

thank you! whenever I think about it I still get irked but what can you do? i really should post things right when I finish/think of them from now on.

you're right.

and thats a good idea.

but maybe when you do put a wip up? like post some kinda WIP thing on it idk honestly codes and me SUCK together

What got jacked wasn't actually a full layout (even though I have had that happen before.) it was actually more of a style hack? idk exactly what you'd call it. I'd do WIP posts, but normally I don't stop until I finish something, a layout doesn't ever take me more than a few hours to get looking okay, so it would just be as easy to post the finished thing. But yeah, I do need to get on things right when I do them so I have some claim to it. (The most frustrating one was when I knocked out two of the sections in plurk layouts and somebody I had added saw it, did the same, and then said NOTHING as to where they got the idea, and took all the praise for the "awesome idea!!")

woah that is not cool :/
your layouts are awesome and it sucks that people can steal them so easily.
