We work very hard to maintain this community, and we work hard on every aspect of this forum, and so, we try to be as original as possible. I have been informed that there are a few people on this forum who have taken it upon themselves to use ideas from this forum, for their own.

Like it or not, this is a form of ripping, and if you are caught doing it, you will be reported. I understand that you like the system we have set up, and would like to emulate that.

Fine, that is not a problem. The problem is when you copy things that we have here, and use them for your own, without crediting us, or even asking us for our permission. Don't you want a great forum that is a result of your hardwork, and no one else's? Don't you want the satisfaction of knowing that you did not have to steal or copy anything? or do you want to have to constantly worry that the people you ripped may retaliate, or get you shut down?

Imagine working hard on something, and doing your best to make it original, only to have someone come along and copy you? How would you feel? All we are saying is that you should be original.. If you find yourself copying something that we have here, or even asking permission to do so, then that all the more proves that you don't have what it takes to run a forum, and do not have what it takes to be original.. and so you may as well give up, because without orginality, your forum will fail even before it has started.

This is your first, and final warning. The very next time i am notified that someone has ripped any part of this forum, whether it is images, rules, ideas, or content, there will be consequences.

I hope I am making myself clear.
