In this view, thank alot, Stuart Wilson, pretty webdesigner, for having designed THIS site for your wife. I especially appreciate: the sad imitation of the main logo, the (icon):arial10) style for llinkcubes (exactly THE SAME CUBES!). But the real gem is your sign under words like "Website Designed by...". If your wife shows happines for that design, I'm happy too. But be much more original and a bit less lamer next time... Friendly... Posted By Lavina on 2004-03-25 05:04:58  Re: Thanks alot Stu... ehehe.... seen that one before..... Actually, when I first started to build the GOTU homepage, it resembled very much Mike's old Minus4 homepage. But it was a different story. It was in 1995 and I did not even know what is internet that time. I was amazed by Mike's site and ASKED PERMISSION from him to use images and background, I did not even know I could have just download and use them, Mike was so generous to send them to me in email. So even today the main characteristics of the GOTU homepage build on these things... I just wanted to preserve it like this.... But asking permission is the first thing to do, I think ,especially if you have such a nice original design like the Fire homepage... So, I understand You Luca. Posted By Stuart Wilson on 2004-03-25 06:16:23  Re: Thanks alot Stu... Fair enough!! I don't deny at all everything that you said. My wife wanted a personal site and liked that design idea and asked if I could do something similar for her. Whats the crime in that. I had no idea any of the site was copyrighted otherwise yes, I surely would have asked for permission. It was just a personal site - and hardly had any visitors. Anyway, as this has caused some problems, I am more than happy to take the site down and redesign the whole thing. My apologies for any inconvenience. As for me being a lamer..... I don't think so. Its funny though, I always thought this message board was full of friendly people..... I guess I was wrong Stuart Wilson Posted By Luca on 2004-03-25 07:12:48  Re: Thanks alot Stu... Mmmm...dunno... I'd checked the former message written by me, and I hadn't found tons of unfriendly words... I'd found: a beer, some ironic talkings, some ciaotuttimafiapizzaamore lifeslices (Lavina: Italians in Malta! ). But maybe I'm wrong... Posted By Luca on 2004-03-25 07:17:53  Re: Thanks alot Stu... BTW, I sincerely like that site, it seems a sort of....citation. If being you, I'll leave it alive... Posted By Stuart Wilson on 2004-03-25 07:24:07  Re: Thanks alot Stu... Sorry Luca, I didnt mean to sound harsh. Anyway, you were right. All I can say is, I'm sorry! I hold my head down in shame. Anyway, I hope I'm still welcome here in these message boards Stuart Posted By Lavina on 2004-03-25 08:23:42  Re: Thanks alot Stu... Of course you are wellcome. Of course here you will find 99% friendly people and I tend to count Luca and myself not in the remaining 1 %. The plus4 scene was always like a big family, no problems here about copyrights or anything else.... I also got some bad words from some guys because of the upper mentioned similarity to Mike's site, but whaddaheck, I just did not care about it... Those who don't like, do not watch... So, You did not commit any big crimes, maybe you could put a link to Luca's site with thanks for the design, or something like that, I don't know... This way You could also contribute to the scene by advertising a plus4 site... Posted By Lavina on 2004-03-25 09:10:16  Re: Thanks alot Stu...
