Most bootskins are stolen

December 20, 2003 3:51 AM from

A lot of the bootskins on this page are stolen from www.themexp.org.
If they do it with permissions of the original creators it would be ok, but there are no permissions to do this. The copyright signs in the edges of the original graphics are overpainted and then the graphics are uploaded to this side

It would be best and most helpful if you could email a mod here with specific info regarding the ones you've identified here and the corresponding boot screens at themexp.org. You can find the mods' email addresses if you click on the link to the "About" page which appears on the left hand side of the WC page.

I looked at the website, and there are matching skins with different author names. But, be careful, it could be the other way around. Indeed an admin needs to look into this.

Most of the bootskins on themexp are much older than the bootskins on this side. So the skinner on themexp can't stolen the skins
