whenever someone "jocks" or takes something from someone's xanga they are like spammed a bajillion times with the same repetitve comments: "you should die you jocking mofo" etc.
usually people have to get new xangas out of "fear". i think that this is wrong. as a designer, i know how many hours it takes to make a skin and how hard it takes, i just finished my current one/ when people steal my stuff and put it on their xanga, i am cool with it, even flattered. if they claimed it as their own, i am okay with that too because my name is always in the image, so its obvious they didnt do it. if they did go around other xanga communities online and shopping my skins around (ex. jordan_inc, imposter @ blogring), i would be upset, but i wouldnt try to destroy them online or whatever. i have had my xanga for 2+ years now and if i had to shut it down because i stole/used parts of the html (it never happened), i would be pretty mad. i mean its all in fun (making skins and making xangas look good). right? |

That's why when you find out someone has jocked your things you handle it maturely by asking them to please take it off. Who cares if they get flamed a bit for doing it? Teaches them a lesson to not do it again. Sure it may be flattering, but it's all up to a point; you have to draw the line somewhere. I'm sorry, but when I work for 3+ hours on a layout and coding I don't want it to be taken and I don't want someone to credit it as their own. I made it, so why shouldn't I get the credit that is due to me? It would be more flattering if they followed my rules and used the layout. Like others said, it doesn't seem like you're that great of a designer by looks of your recent layout. Sorry.
