I really don't know where to post this, but LOL.

(Rip off of my Alexis Bledel layout; http://www.createblog.com/layouts/preview.php?id=7988. &They also stole the menu that I have for my site right now. O.O).)

The funny thing is that the links they didn't use they still linked them to my site; yet they took off my credit.
Someday they will learn internet. laugh.gif
I wish I could contact them, :(.
talcumpowder
You should totally write a e-mail to them just laughing. XD zipped.gif That's kinda mean... But it really is funny how everything links to your site tho. I'm easily amused. And it looks really shitty in Mozilla. Oh well.
tininja
Oh gosh, that is a ugly banner they have there. rolleyes.gif Jockers are hilarious sometimes.
Ambuletz
I think jockers are just so adorable. Their ignorance amuses me. ^^
guilinger123
The layout looks sooooo bad it's funny!
If jockers are going to jock, why do they always make it shitty?
StanleyThePanda
^ Because they dont know what they are doing, thats why they jocked it in the first place. hahahaha

Did you try emailing them?
Zatanna
Hahaha, that's too funny! laugh.gif
digital.fragrance
Looks like they spliced your code to get an A on a school project - HAHAHA not only did they jock, but they cheated! rofl1.gif
ranniel

_unsure.gif , How would I find it out?
TwistMe
Man, the color scheme is horrible. $40 for tickets to some "Laying Down Area", what a rip off.

It sucks that they have no contact information at all. Maybe they'll update it soon. *shrug*

John A. Rowland High School students? California? http://rhs.rowland.k12.ca.us/

Made by their business seminar students.. http://rhs.rowland.k12.ca.us/Departments/B...ex.html#Seminar

That's definitely the high school. So basically, contact the high school, preferrably someone in the business department. Those kids would get in a lot of trouble.
warriors1035
haha. wow

Sweet.
I emailed the principal.
Relentless
Wow. That is just sad & pity. I find this quite funny & amusing. Emailed the principle wow, I wonder what's going to happen to them. I agree with everyone up there, the banner looks so crappy looking. Hah.
digital.fragrance
Yes - way to go - you have to tell us what the school says to you in reply! rofl1.gif At last, justice is served to both jockers and cheaters.
Libertie
It's crazy that they did this for a SENIOR PROJECT. Probably a big part of their grade, right? But yes, let us know if you get a response. Looks like the site is still up. Next step could be contacting geocities.
Stephire
Well the principal replied with 'I need to know the students who did this. Please don't randomly accuse without facts.'

I don't think he knows intarweb, :(. I replied back with 'senior business seminar students'. O.O
digital.fragrance

You know what’s really sad, is this comment. I know of a few jocker sites that get around 47-48 million hits a day. They also code programs where all they do is let it go, and go to sleep and it goes and replaces any links back, which I think is hilarious. I will have to get into my favorites and find the big one I use sometimes, its amazing how much they put into it. They even PAY there admins and "jockers" they get so much from ad sales...

I also like how you emailed there principal, which really I am sure did not do anything. Using a premade template is not cheating, its using resources available too you. I also LOVE how it would not stand anyway, you don’t even hold the right copyright information. And to all that use that Creative Commons license junk, its nothing but a big joke. Google for stories on it. Unless you hold a FULL COPYRIGHT, its out there for change, and to be used how they please.

I can guarantee you, the principal most likely looked over it, and ignored your email, but told you he/she would do something about it.

No he replied to me about three times, he didn't understand what I was trying to tell him.
I like how digital.fragrance put it, really he was.

So if someone 'took' something from you that you made one the internet, you wouldn't in the slight bit be upset?
Ofcourse I have no actual legal copyright, but according to this site( http://www.rightsforartists.com ) I can make all the huff about it I want.

Well if I make something, I copyright it too Black Hawk Data Services, so it would be, and is legally copyrighted and trademarked.

With sites like http://www.rightsforartists.com and stuff like that, its best to read the disclaimers, and what makes me laugh is that there first definition is "Bandwidth Theft", there is nothing illegal about hot linking. If you threaten to take legal action on someone for “Bandwidth Theft” I can guarantee you a lawyer would laugh in your face.

“At no time should the information be construed as legal advice; for all legal matters, we encourage our readers to seek the assistance of an attorney.”

You can huff, and puff, and try to take there site down. But if you send them threatening emails, that is harassment. If you try to “dos” there server that is considered vandalism.
Stephire
I'm sure you made vaild points, but I only have a limited time on the computer these days; therefore I'm not reading your post.
