Quoting lgspence,

Kitty, I am so glad you are staying. Running away just lets the bastards win! You make good skins and good sense. You belong here with your many friends.

Thats the way I feel also.Don't let them get what they want.

Quoting JoDa,

I've been hanging around here for a long time now (see member number) so I've seen this issue before. Determining the originality of artwork is difficult sometimes but important. However public flogging IS NOT the answer. If you think there is a problem with the artwork, that's what mods and sysops etc. are there for. Notify them, they'll check it out and render a verdict. This can be done without all these hard feelings. In a creative atmosphere, this kind of bickering IS NOT helpful. All you artists/skinners are talented people who work together to make our computing experience more enjoyable. Lets not do or say anything to change that.

Exactly.

Unfortunately, it's hard to keep ego's in check.

ENOUGH!

Lets get the facts straight, and end this now.

The image in question is nearly identical to the one posted. I have no doubt in my mind that she can draw it herself pixel-by-pixel, but a good rule of thumb is to keep your .PSD's. Especially now with the lurking going on.

I pulled the skin to investigate, it was not to appease or punish anyone.

Djirate was not the one who initially reported it.

Note to others - Competition is not a bad thing.

Told ya!

It's not a publicity stunt -- it's a natural reaction to insult and assault; at the first blow, a person pulls back, feels the pain, clutches their injury....then they come up swinging for the counter-attack.

I hope you understand just what kind of a giant tool this makes you look like, Joe. How does your accusation of Kitty's graphics personally benefit you? This is the issue I have with narcs. If something isn't personally threatening YOU, why get involved? Why shatter somebody else's joy?...unless you are jealous of the joy?...because you personally can't experience the joy....but I know you DO experience joy, Joe....so, other than to make brownie points to John, I see no benefit for you to have done any of this.

If this is not the case, please explain it to me...because you ARE my friend, and I'm trying really hard to wrap my head around this.

No offense to any of the posters here but it is time we all moved on from this.

Some things do indeed need to be discussed openly and fairly and without fear of 'flaming'. All discussion are no more than a learning process and should be taken that way.

It would also appear that this particular 'problem' will/is/has been handle behind the scene between the parties involve and admin. Put it to rest folks.

Hey, Valentine's Day is a month away.

All you've proven is MY point...that perception is everything. People will see and believe what they want to see and believe. And I believe Po's "threat"? -- what's going to come around is that some day, some where, somebody is going to accuse you to the authorities of something and then you're going to remember all this and feel what it's like to be on the receiving end of it. Hopefully you'll learn what 1st grade teachers in every elementary school have been saying since the beginning of public education..."keep your eyes on your own work, people!"

its just sour grapes now........i drew it, ive already proven I did, get over it and move on, troll elsewhere.xx

its not my fault im such a talented artist...........MOVING ON.

i dont expect an apology from you diji cause I know i wont get one. like the time you screamed copy right on one of z71's skins.

you should be more careful before you start screaming accusations.

Successfully updated karma reason!

ok then lets all use other people stuff and get payed for it, is this what WC is now?

The MODs should be saying wow.. ur right... it wont happen again, thanks for helping to protect the integrity of the site. We are not a site that lets this happen, and we do not cater to illegal use of images, but whatever...this is what the WC has turned into...alot has changed in 5 years i tell ya...im not tattling either, just pointing out OBVIOUS discrepencies in a MASTERS work. and ill do it again if i see it again in ANYONES WORK

Successfully updated karma reason!

yeah you got ur way kitty all is well now....the WC is a ripping community based on who you are and what you do...you have no talent obviously that you cant use your own images...YUO DID NOT DRAW THAT CAR...im so sorry but looking at your skins can say enuff that you dont have the skills to draw that car....i'd eat the corn out your shit if you could show me you drawing that car live in PS and then ill shut my mouth and tell everyone here what an idiot i am and i will say im sorry but until then go on doing your thang kitty

Successfully updated karma reason!

gosh the evidence is in your face and you still lie....lmfao

Successfully updated karma reason!

doing an inaccurate side view of it and creating a 100% accurate 3d representation of the original image are two totally different things... the one you DREW isn't the one used in the screeny and the XP animation

so you havent proved a damn thing but that your a liar and lack at PS skills, like most of us have known for years anyways

Successfully updated karma reason!

Enough is enough. Djirate, you have made your point over and over and over. Time to let it go.

Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Look people, this vitrios dialogue has gone on too long and gone too far. We're at the stage where "Nobodys right and everybodys wrong". This should be the last post here. Time to move on.

By the way, I checked out your galleries. You're both quite talented. Keep up the good work
