chloroform Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 In case no one has noticed (which I won't flatter myself by thinking), this place (which is great) looks a LOT like TechZoneZ (www.techzonez.com). I'm stating that reference for those who'll compare it with MSFN's homepage. However, my investigation leads me to believe you guys were here first . Just thought I'd get that off my chest. I feel so much better now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babis Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Just to let you aware of something, always check the Affiliates area of websites. You'll notice MSFN & TZ are on each other's list.Also, since most websites use same type of content management system, forum system, etc. most of them tend to have the same look & feel. Especially since most themes are avaiable for free online. It gets worse when you start looking at hosting services, most of them use several already made templates. So they end up looking all the same. (Having already said that, I too use a CMS, but it is a lot easier than actually taking the time to start something from scratch)Hope that helps. (oh ya msfn was here before tz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Is it just me, or was someone ripped? , Police investigates a case of plagiarismaa hello there are things called templates i'm sure u heard of. and as long as no one copyrighted their design there will be no type of investigation!

newdles Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Another thing you may notice is that, if your speculations were true, then they are backwards. Look at the bottom of each of the home pages.

Unfortunately, today is the first day I've been able to join the forum as I just found out about it this morning. Good find I may add. I've been a member of http://www.pcpitstop.com and its forums for a good while now. Always nice to know of the many forums out there that are nice and knowledgeable. newdleshttp://www.webzila.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloroform Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Sorry about that. The "Police investigation" thing was just something I wrote in there for a laugh (if anyone here reads the news headlines on theinquirer.net you'll know what I'm talking about). As far as the template thing, I knew about them. I just found it weird that the two sites I've regged at this week look awfully similar. No hard feelings against anyone. I was just making a statement.Sorry if I offended anyone. It wasn't my goal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Cheers B0rk As for MSFN, it has been around since XP beta. Virtua news was added later on. At one time the site was down for weeks, and some of our more informed members built TZ during that time. they are a good bunch of guys who know their stuff... i think their site content is a bit different to ours, same topic though... just gone about in a different way.Anyways, hope that clears that up!
