WOAH? IW Clone!

Kaltia · 04-05-2003, 04:13 PM

Seriously weird!
I found an IW clone!
It was passed on by a member who is no longer here, but...Jeez!? Apparently the webmaster is 10 years old there. It's really quite scary.
Ironworks clone

Hmmm, methinks Ziroc and Choc are not going to be real pleased with this. I hear that the Internet community frowns on piracy like that.

Um ok... And the point of this psuedo forum's creation was... ???

Kaltia · 04-05-2003, 04:17 PM

Hmmm, since the webmaster is (apparently) ten, shouldn't we just e-mail him and tell him to close it down?

slicer15 · 04-05-2003, 04:22 PM

Yeah, I think we should...isn't the name copyrighted anyway? Only Ziroc's is the best! Hah! Look at his pitiful member count! One! And a moderator named choc...?

EDIT: This is outrageous! He even copied all the text! Man, don't he have something better to do? I wonder when Ziroc will find out...

He's calling at least some of the images directly from Ziroc's server. Methinks he wont be up for long.

A disgruntled former member I would think.

Since Ironworks is a registered trade mark, this is quite illegal. Quick, someone go find Timber.

Anyone recognise naka_coco_jp@hotmail.com ? No profile on it. Part of it is one of my brothers old nicks, but he wouldnt do this. (Or at least, not without asking me for help with the coding)

An email from Ziroc to Proboards will sort this out. [img]smile.gif[/img] I think they are capable of submitting additional information should it be necessary.

Someone copies IronWorks out of spite? I don't think so, my guess is it's someone that wants to start some trouble and has a little too much free time on his hands [img]tongue.gif[/img]
