Since the copycat’s blog is no longer there and he’s banned from our site (I hope), Anachronous is staying put. My next layout is going to be far more complex, though. Form it with minimal HTML and use mostly more advanced techniques and more external files, like CSS and maybe even a few includes, so maybe I can deter anyone else from just copying my HTML… or at least make their copy look horrible. I have a new Tagboard, that looks pretty good so far =) I wish I could remove the timestamp for each post on it, but it’s far better than the free script. It’s up and online, but I’ll won’t be making it public until my new layout is ready.

And speaking of new layouts, Larva is being a wee bit stubborn. I just can’t edit the pictures the way I want; as usual, I’m ending up with wallpaper instead of a layout. =) I’ll probably finish off my attempts and post them for your downloading pleasure. I’m trying to resist the urge to simply make another CT layout. I’ve adored CT since it originally came out here in the states; so it’s only natural to be able to make a layout with the characters. However, I think sprites make the layout a bit too cute…. Blogs are way too popular and those new to the whole concept of blogging don’t understand how much time people who make their own layouts put into these things. They want an attractive blog, but don’t know how to go about it. So when they find something they like, they just gotta have it. So instead of being nice and polite about it, they steal. I’m not even sure they realize they’re stealing.

I suppose I just need to surf the web and find images that inspire me, like Venus & Braves inspired Sally. I have a feeling Vivid is going to be her Avatar of choice for a long time. I had a layout for War of Genesis, using the same character I used out on the main Lunaescence.com pages, but I didn’t really like it. I really need some new music to daydream to; find my muses - where ever they’re hiding.

Hey, guess what I discovered. Some little brat has copied my blog in it’s entirety, from the images, my HTML, my blog links, my entires, my tagboard, even my pets. They changed the page title and the personal information to theirs and called it good.

Look here!

What’s more, is that I can’t reach his provider. So now I have people from his blog showing up on my tagboard and visiting my entries, thinking it’s him. How quaint. And I mean that with all the sarcasm I can muster. Can anyone else reach them so I can report this and get his rear taken care of?

(EDIT: Cleaned up my language since this got posted to several message boards… rofl)

Since I have a new layout in the works and I needed to update my GreyMatter files anyway, I’m just going to move Anachronous altogether. I’ll be deleting the Tagboard and getting a new one. I’ll also be changing the e-mail on my Imood so it no longer appears properly anywhere else. This will also keep whoever this joker is from sending people to my entries thinking I’m him.

Additionally, Anachronous will probably become password protected. Don’t worry, it’ll be simple and I’ll give the password out to all my friends. I have no idea what I did to precipatate this, but this is very immature and childish.

My next layout is going to be Larva from Vampire Princess Miyu. It’ll be a few days until it’s ready.

Update @ 3:42 PM EST
A nice gentleman from Dr2.net’s support forums replied to Sally’s request for advice and it turns out he’s from Belgium. He sent in a note to Blog.pl for us regarding the theft and they removed the offending blog for us. We now have the person’s e-mail address and Sally will probably write him later this evening about it. We’ve also removed all the IP denies, except for his. I’ll probably decide later tonight about whether to follow through with moving Anachronous. I’ve found a TagBoard Script that I’ve been playing with; so it’ll be replaced no matter what. I rarely remember to update my Imood, so I might do away with that unless I decide I can’t do without it. Thanks everyone for your support! =)
