i was searching for images on Google when i found this site:

this is bull****!!!
they totally stole our rank system!! even the sage idea!!! how did we.... wait....
this site made their system back in '04. about 1.5 years before WiiLoaded was created and 2 years (if i'm correct) before our current ranking system went up. what's going on here?
We got it from Nintendo Power forums I believe. Except we modified it a little bit.
well that's not right. it even says to not steal stuff on the post
Haha, they aren't exactly the same ranks or anything, nor did we claim to be completely original in our ranking idea. Several members here (that where also members somewhere else) immediately recognized the ranking system. I can't believe you didn't spot the forum we actually took our ranking system from.
It was taken from the Nintendo Power forums to encourage a sense of "familiarity". When it comes to forums, there are very, very few original ideas. I hope that our upcoming updates will showcase a few
Theres are a crappier than ours, Ours are much better, but half of ours they have D:
i'm supposed to recognize it? i've been in 1 other forum and it had NOTHING to do with video games. i just expected that since we were looking into copyrights for OUR ideas, that we wouldn't be jacking them from others
do we need to lock/remove this thread before the word gets out?
Also, notice that post was made in 2004.
Technically it isn't stealing since we (D4rk) made our own images.
legally, yes, but is it ethically?
If they made their own pictures, its fine with me.
Expecially when they're not as good
Precisely.
Ours > Theirs.
Whatever ours are cooler. Although I like there Reviewer of the Month thing...heh heh...I'll stop now.
