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.
also that's awful lullabye :( apparently people just don't learn their lesson???
ive seen one person straight up copy paste my about page. like everything on it. down to the style of how i wrote my little intro paragraphs and everything. girl if youre gonna copy paste my shit at least change it up a little goddamn
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
Sorry that is happening to you >_> it's always a bummer people don't respect others' work like that.
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
yeah it seems like there's no respect for others' coding and some people think they can just take as they please
thank you! fortunately the person messaged me and apologized for stealing my code and said that they'd work on making their own about page, so I really hope that they've learned from their mistakes and learn to not steal code from others :")
ahh that’s great to hear!!!! I’m glad, I hope so as well!
good ending
