jocker clusterf**k, damn. Options

[*tripvertigo*]

remember back in the day when we'd get a jocker once in a while, and everyone on cb would go to that person's xanga and just bash the shit out of them until they peed themselves and finally took the layout they jocked down? Or if they didnt take it down, we'd find a way to hack their account?

yeah those were the good days.

really made me feel loved. but i guess back then i was contributing a lot more to cb than I am now.


anyway, some of my best bashing insults came from those situations.


i remember this only really happened to really well known users on cb/xanga. i.e. me or roxanne, or rivendell...

the reason i bring this up now is because i google myself every couple of months to see what shows up, and this is what i found:

so f**king full of win.

There are consequences. The person will get bashed and flamed if they don't comply. Ta da!

And it also ruins your reputation in the design community. Like say a well-known subdomain hoster, or "family", wants to host someone. It's a chance to get your name out there so when individual people see it, they can hire you. Not as a full-time job -- just $50, one layout, go. Some other person has jocked from numerous people and thus has a pretty impressive spectrum of design. They get hosted. But that's not fair; it wasn't theirs. That was the other person's spot, the person that really designed it.

Just because you can do something and there's no LEGAL repercussions doesn't mean you should. I could go have sex with someone else's boyfriend; there's nothing legally wrong about it, right? But should I? And people should just accept it cause if a person is living, they're there for the taking (and having sex with)? I don't think so.
