Bubbly RO copied my website

[Drix]

Hi,

So I am aware that my website is not any good, refer here: www.phantasm-ro.net/main

Knowing that fact, someone still copied my poor website. :< refer here: http://bubblyragnarokonline.p.ht

There's alot of better websites that they can actually copy, why mine. D:<

Isn't that a predetermined format?
I'm looking at the code. I don't see how it's the same, or am I missing something? 

[Triper]

I saw the codes of both websites and I already draw my own conclusions but before posting them, I would like to hear first - why do you say this? There isn't really any direct evidence about this in Bubbly's website.

Side-Note: Any screenshot will help on this.

And I must say that I'm a bit on the same boat as SukiChii since I've seen servers with this format before. Maybe the designer is selling it to someone else? I don't know, I'm just throwing possibilities.

Yes I'd say ask Brightix if he sold anything to BubblyRO. I mean they don't exactly look the same they have different images for the panel, etc. Look at Brightix's website for the designs or whatever he has where you can look at what is for sale, etc.

The designer of the website uses very similar images, format, and style for several of his site designs (and they are coded by the same coder as well, for the most part, by the EADev team). However, he is a good designer in the sense that he will not make his images disproportional or stretched/compressed. His designs are mostly clean. So, Brightix probably did not sell this design.

Judging based on the two website layouts, they are quite similar to each other, so there is a possibility that the format was taken and the images were edited (especially with the footer design, font style of the words, and plain background colour, etc). The position of the side boxes in relatively the same places as with the navigation bar (and same navigation bar button words in the same order) and central introduction box. The server status box also has the same format in terms of its looks. Furthermore, if you go to the other pages such as the information page, you can see the whole format is similar. Same with the staff page, etc. Lastly (there's probably more, but I won't say more), even the side button colours and words are the same, though I have no idea why they would make it so conspicuous that they copied another server's website design...

Done my analysis for now XD.

It could also be possible they snagged the code from another server, made by the same team.

I'm pretty sure that Brightix did not sell BubblyRO anything, you can notice that as the designer took credit for his/her work
*Designed by Bubblegum*.

In all honesty, I am dumb regarding codes so I really won't know the inside of it. But judging from the outside, everything just looks completely the same just as Yukino stated.

Yeah he probably then just took some of your images from the design. But yeah the layout and everything is quite similar try to contact BubblyRO's Admin.

Me and Drix had talked about this already. I was able to talk to the one who made the layout and she told me "if I copied everything, then I would had copied all and just edit the text instead, so it won't be hard for me", I'm not a GM here anymore, so I will not deal with this any longer.

No, she didn't bought the website design from Brightix.

Anyways, here's the forum account of the web designer: http://forum.ratemyserver.net/index.php?action=profile;u=36036

And the admin said in the Facebook Group for the GMs of the server, that Drix is even trying to steal the players because he even brought his server link in the Fanpage of BubblyRO, lol.
