pfffft banned!

[Steve]

checkin' out the sig community today and came across a pretty clean design that i had seen before. the site i was on was http://www.gfx-arena.com/main.html

looks good, can't deny that.

i was browsing their forum and saw a thread about their new design (v.6) and the creator said that he'd worked hard on it. but the design is straight off a tutorial.

ok so i decided to right a reply saying that the didn't work that hard because it was just a tutorial he had followed to create it, and he could of at least changed the colours, but that the site did look good.

anyway an hour or so later i was banned from their forum

i managed to get back into the forum (using my uber leet skillz), only to find my post was deleted also. i got no explination or email.

it's a pity because they have some talent over there and some great grapical pieces of work.


i would like to hear anyones opinion on this.

was i out of order?
is he trying to hide the fact that 'his' l33t design wasn't actually his?


and i didnt even mention that the i frames dont fit properly


this is gfx arena's page:



this is from the tutorial which you can see here http://marengo.neopages.net/tutorials/tutpixel/pix1.htm :
