You should probably PM a mod or member of staff with the link so they can check it out.

If you mean DragonLand, yes, we'd like it if the site used a little more imagination...

Yeah... one of my friends told me that he had the same layout as CS before, but he changed it. Still, I'd get pretty annoyed if anyone copied my site word for word.

I can only hope the people who do that kinda thing are just too young/inexperienced to realise what they're doing is wrong, and never going to get them very far if they want to make their own site...

it does annoy me a lot to see sites ripping off my content, but they're mostly sites which aren't run very effectively and just disappear under the radar so it's not like it's much to be concerned about :/ still, I spent a lot of time making this site, it upsets me to see people just stealing stuff so effortlessly. If I'm going to inspire anyone, I'd like to inspire their creativity to make their own site, not just carbon-copy the site they enjoy.

I think the most common rip is everyone steals my adoption-rules - I must have seen them on at least 30 adoptable sites by now o_o is it so hard to make your own rules? I really don't get that...

Yeah, The Somethings has had a few word-for-word copiers... Where the heck is their imagination?

Whats worse is they didnt just steal ideas from Tess, but also some of the dragons from Dragoncave, but its okay cause someone reported them for it.

Some people just don't have that much imagination....I dont get why they would even try either, because most people would just come to Chickens Smoothie then a copy of it.

He asked for the topic to be deleted after complaining about his hosting service because they dropped him for abuse.
I can't imagine what sort of abuse he really ended up getting his hosting revoked for.. ;)

Anywho, when/if you guys and girls see people, literally, completely and utterly copying off another site, you can always let the hosting company know about it and they will remove it because that is against about every hosting sites rules.
