BlazeBoard/MyCool - Cheating Little <people>?

[Nicholas Brown]

Well, its a disgrace.

News Just In:

Dear beta\'s,

we are only running like for 22 hours now and already made every headline because of our layout
wich is smilar to vB\'s and uses some of their old graphics.
Well, someone came who attempted different hack attempts before on blazeboard server came up
with the idea to tell everybody that we actually stole the vB code.
Obviously this isn\'t true, OpenBB uses his own opensource codebase wich is not-at-all based
on vBulletin.
We are currently changing some templates in order to de-look like vB1.x/2.xbeta. If there is
someone here with great design skills who would like to help out, [email protected]
Thank you,
Iansoft

mmz, bondman & webfreak, are you guys serious about this or is it just for XMB?
cause you said you hate blaze (its for the same persons right?) more then one time ...

[cliffe2]

the design looks the same but does that mean they ripped the code?

I mean, if i would rip vbulletin i would be so smart to atleast change the graphics etc

Jonathan (the origional creator of BlazeBoard) and MyCool are not at all involved with OpenBB.

There's some screen shots. Nuff said.

hehe... if you look at the screenshots (forums are now offline... funnily enought)

Anyways.. all the buttons/images are the old blue vb ones

I was about to reply to a thread about this before - but the thread disapeared - anyone know why ?

The layout looks familiar for the openbb.net index page - but for the forums - is there anyone who hasn't copied the basic layout of UBB ?

Well, after seeing that MR Johnathon is redeveloping BlazeBoard to a hosted solution called MyCool, I popped over to bbhacks.com

The administrator was giving out the address of this site: http://openbb.net which is gonna be the new name, openBB.

Is it just me or does that site look VERY familiar?
