Since When Did We Claim Originality– Oh, That’s Right: We Didn’t

A few hours ago I was greeted by a lovely comment in my mailbox to moderate on my previous post which admittedly made me LOL.

A new comment on the post “Veracity.nu” is waiting for your approval http://thequeenb.net/2011/01/03/veracitynu/

Comment:
I find it extremely sad that you felt the need to copy ideas from a lot of great forums. People work really hard on their forums and then you guys just come and take everyone’s ideas and claim them as your own. And apparently you have done this before because there is a lot of talk about history repeating itself. You should definitely learn to be original.

First off, I find it extremely sad that Emilee1, didn’t have the BALLS to leave her contact information after posting that comment2 so that I could respond to her ridiculous allegations.

We never claimed to be original and honestly why would we? Nothing on the internet is original. When you actually take a moment to ponder it all, it boils down to the fact that every idea online3 is some derivative of another idea that someone else come up with– usually made better.

Myspace vs Facebook, anyone?

In any event, if it makes you feel better sweetie, I’ll go ahead and say what you want to hear, “Yes, we stole your ideas, made them better and used them on Veracity.” Did that make you feel better? I hope so and next time, if you’re going to say something, have the balls to NOT hide behind anonymity because honestly, in the long run, it only makes people realize that you don’t actually think you have the right to be bitching and moaning about something, cause if you did you wouldn’t have to hide4,5.

/end rant

Oh and in the future Miss Emilee, if the lack of credit6 really bothers you that much:

Credit
Read before you bitch.

  1. IP addresses are wondrous things
  2. Probably because she knew we’d chew her up and spit her out without a moment’s hesitation.
  3. Especially where forums are concerned.
  4. Oh and here’s the part where she cops out and says she didn’t want to start drama which we all know is BULLSHIT.
  5. And you see what I did there? We had nothing to hide so I had no problems approving your comment and responding to it; that says a lot more for us then it does for you.
  6. Even if you don’t actually deserve credit because you really can’t claim that the idea was yours to begin with.

Oh come on! Can’t we all just share? :[ Besides, she should be glad her "original" ideas are now being seen by a wider audience! 70+ versus the 17 (give or take) that see them on Flaunty. NOW TAKE A BOW! :) Angie´s last [type] ..2011- I’m liking you so far!

LOL. Is she bitching about the “houses” thing?

I wonder if Flaunty has been around as long as my my friend Gwennie’s forum Billopan (started in 2000)… ‘Cause we have houses there too… ZOMG FLAUNTY STOLE FROM US TOO!

-rolls eyes- gimme a break. EVERYTHING on the Internet nowdays is borrowed from somewhere else pretty much..

What’s next, they’re going to start freaking out because OMG YOU’RE USING XMB AND THEY”RE USING XMB AND OMG YOU TOTALLY COPIED THEM!

OMG…ROFL.

Forums, especially those powered by XMB have been around for ages. So everyone and their momma has had at least 10 of the hacks installed on it. So…yeah.

DOUBLE EWE TEE EFF? That’s ridiculous. OKAY.. the fact that there is GROUP HACKS suggests it’s probably been done before a million times. That’s like the ‘member of the month’ thing.. if the hack has been made, someone is already using it. If the hack is public, that means ZOMG ANYONE CAN USE IT!!! I bet there’s a gazillion teenybopper sites with similar groups. But like you said, we made it different (and better, teehee) so wtf ever. Way to over react. :O

LOL I don’t understand why everyone gets their panties in a wad over something on a forum. Who really cares if something was inspired by someone else? It’s not really a huge deal, especially with something like Houses if that’s what it is… I’m sure it’s been done somewhere else before her forum, you know?

People are lame.

Wowww, that’s all I have. Well, we have haters… who doesn’t? xD

Oh geez. She really thinks she and other forum owners are the first on the scene with their ideas? As you said yourself, pretty much all sites on the internet are some type of derivative of others!

HATTERS GONNA HATE!!!!!!

People can bitch all they want about you “stealing it” but it’s not going anywhere.

I’m sure she’s just jealous that Veracity took off with such momentum and actually has staying power.
