I can get something way nicer for less than the price of McDonald's meal. |

Hi
That email above is from me and it was a typo.
It was meant to say For Sale for £5000 not £500,000. (stuck keys)
Thanx for giving my site a review and its not ripped from any warez sites..
Thanx |

lol! Yeah right. DId you see the pictures? Stuck keys? Amazing how you also hit the comma in the middle of that _by accident_ |

So the warez site ripped his design. Hmmm. With his placement of the logo and banner on top I would have to

Maybe he just used a free template. |

> Maybe he just used a free template.
After some diggingI came accross the template at solucija.com.
Demo: http://www.solucija.com/templates/demo/Internet_Sharing/ All templates including this one's download link: http://www.solucija.com/home/css-templates/
The demo & warez site seem to work a lot better in FF then Googietube though.

(I hope you don't mind I edited the two suggestions that this was copied from a warez sites, with thanks to Martin's further research. Waine asked me in an email to remove the whole thread due to business slander but I think the rest can stay for now, right... I am awaiting Waine's statements in regards to his view of the case...) |

I don't mind at all that the comment was edited. I tried to list different scenario's rather than flat out saying one person copied another's work. |
Waine | 16 years ago # |
I have copied no-ones work... I got this "site" from Hotscripts FREE PHP scripts and i was totally unaware of its original form..
The site has now been changed to comply with the Original designers terms and conditions. |
Colin Colehour | 16 years ago # |
The site has indeed been overhauled.

Hmm, went from a Google Video/YouTube thing to a social dating website. Certainly is one of the most odd change of directions for a website. |
Haochi | 16 years ago # |
No offense but the site's keywords (view source) crack me up... <<nigeria online dating>> |
Waine | 16 years ago # |
Keywords can be funny sometimes – i used IBP software that gave me keywords like that.
The site will soon have a "youtube" type video sharing feature, but getting that is expensive..
Anyway thanx for the posts on this site. |
Philipp Lenssen | 16 years ago # |
Waine, you might wanna consider uninstalling your tools... if GoogieTube wouldn't already have a PageRank 0, keyword stuffing could cause it. |
Waine | 16 years ago # |
Im new to all this – any tips on how to do that would be great..
I dunno what "pagerank" is or how to improve it..
thanx |
James Xuan | 16 years ago # |
Wiane we would all be glad to help if you made a reputable site. |
Waine | 16 years ago # |
Im open to ALL help that is offered to me...
What is your idea of a "reputable" site plz help..
What kind of site will go with site name? |
James Xuan | 16 years ago # |
Reputable sites are ones that are not solely made for selling, that have content peple want and are not spammy or advertizement-y |
Philipp Lenssen | 16 years ago # |
Yeah, and you don't usually start with a site name to then figure out what should be on it... because that behavior is commonly referred to as domain squatting. |
Waine | 16 years ago # |
WOW – i have a lot to learn about websites....
Does anyone have any ideas on what kind of site would be good??
I was only going to sell the name "originally" as a friend told me there was money in selling domain names, then i decided to put a site on it...
Any help would be great.. |
