I was just wandering around SEN and found a link to a site called Vile Gaming. Then I saw a link labeled Maplantis

I kind of just raised an eye brow.

The Link

A while back, that Spartan guy paid a visit here. Maybe he wanted to steal ideas in the process?

I'll notify Yoshi.

According to that sweet marine picture it's saying Maplantis died because the wait for Sc2 was too long? =O

Yeah I remember vilegaming. They tried to buy maplantis but I said no. I'm not entirely sure what they're trying to do. Maplantis isn't maplantis because of the name, maplantis is maplantis because of the community, the rich features, my administration, the support of the community, etc.

I'm not entirely sure what he's trying to accomplish by taking the name. I mean, unless he rips off direct content and graphics from my website, he's technically not doing anything illegal there until then. But the only reason he'd use the same name is if he was attempting to trick the same visitors into thinking they are one in the same, which maplantis was a very close community and isn't stupid, would instantly know the site isn't run by me.

I still own the domain as well. I guess it's a good reminder to point it back to SEN. I'll point it to static maplantis actually, might as well.

This is what trademarks are for.

Too bad you have to pay for those, though.

Yeah but I don't even care about the name. I mean, it's not going to do him any good, people aren't stupid. He's simply wasting his time. He interested in the more underhanded ways of bringing more traffic to his ghost town of a website, but it's going to get him nowhere.

Thing is people don't go to SEN or Maplantis because of the name, they go there because me, IP, moose are innovators. We do cool, original things. Original content. Etc.

Really, I don't even see why anyone should actually care. It's beneath our radar. You give him attention, that's what he wants.

I was just bringing up the subject, I find it hard to believe someone could simply come up with the same name. Then even more so after posting about it here, especially when everyone here says that the creator has been seen around a few times.

Just wanted to see if anybody knew what the hell was up with the copypasta.

Glad to see that Father Yoshi still has the higher maturity here.

Hey it's all good, thanks for posting all the same

Where? What is this content you speak up?

The admin for VG is a fuck tard who steals content.
Now he is just that much more of a jerk.
I simply can't wrap my head around his bs.

Lynch Tiem?

Mostly in the form of the constantly improving features, is what I was trying to get across. "Content" is probably the wrong word because the content is all user submitted.

Anyone who cannot see all that the three pillars of our community have done for us are truly blind to the workings of this place they inhabit and take for granted.

Where are your pillars now Ex!? WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY!?

Well that was certainly random and unwarranted. Have you been waiting a year and a half to get back at Excalibur? BRAVO.

Nah, was searching through my history and saw this topic. Chance for a necro taken.

Just saying though, all of our dudes left us here. Just like how Joe Dirt got left behind.

Never seen this thread

"pillars" wow..
that's elitism for ya.

The thing is, people of a community do not need to be "told" who they like..
if you've done a good job, they'll know. And if you have NOT done a good job, they'll know as well.

Except that Moose logs in daily and still posts in the Staff Forum.

I guess he doesn't want to mingle among us common folk, it's quite dirty and smelly in Null.
