Neocities

there's a lot of code thieves going around lately and it's a really shameless thing to do. i'm sorry to anyone who's been affected by something like this I just wish people had more respect for others' coding. it seems like others think that they can just steal and copy paste from others without repercussions

i have a theory that is the same person. this is the fourth site in like three days, and every time they get caught they delete the site. i cant tell if theyre a determined idiot or a determined troll.....

also I wish I could pin comments onto my profile but a reminder: all of the coding on my site is my own unless specified somewhere that it isn't. If you see someone out there with a page that looks very similar to mine then it's likely stolen code.

idk it just makes me so angry that people are just straight up stealing others pages and passing it off as their own. i get drawing inspiration and looking thru code to see how things are done but STEALING CODE is just downright awful

and honestly if you like how someone coded their page then yeah being inspired by it is fine or like. asking them how they coded their page or did what they did but dont go stealing code without permission. people put time and effort into them and unless stated theyre not free to use templates. there are plenty of sites out there with templates for you to use if you really want to just dont steal ppls code

yes it's really infuriating to see :( and especially since there was no form of credit at all as to where this person got their "template". and even then giving credit doesn't excuse stealing code from someone.

I’m sorry this happened to you (and more than once!) 💔 I often see people on twitter boast about how they just copy-paste the HTML from carrd/other neocities, it makes me so angry… At least most of these people are here for the trend, not for the love; I don’t think their sites will last much

In a server I'm in there was a problem with someone flat out stealing someones personal assets onto their site and not to mention this sort of strange disrespect I've been seeing among users who migrated from tiktok and how they treat websites and art.. :[ I really wish this wasn't such a problem esp with all the HTML resources we have now

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you. You have Roxelle's button on your page, and I highly doubt you want to be associate with a self-proclaimed pedophile. I'm going around warning people for their own safety. I have the full proof on my site.
