[Sinecure]

As many of u know, or may not know, I am currently working on version 3 of my website. This newest version is going to be huge, with all new design, temlate modifications and a whole new level of intergration with vbulletin
I am currently payin Chen to do some custom php coding for the forum, yay!

Anyway, after I release v3, I am going to release our current board design as a free style available for download. Just thought people might be interested in knowing that

Theres a little anticipation for everyone

kool, can't wait!

[c-prompt]

Um Sinecure...you think thats a good idea after Saith??????

[Sinecure]

I'm releasing it for sites that are XP related to use.
Maybe its a good idea, maybe its not.

[c-prompt]

Um...k. Perhaps you should warn anyone that wants to use it beforehand what can happen if they use it and are not Win XP related.

[Xelation]

what can happen?

[Sinecure]

Microsoft an come after u if they wanted to, if ur site is not XP related.

[Mystic Stylez]

would that same rule apply to the apple style that was made?

Trust me they care. I had to redo a site that had purchased a xp theme from Sin (Not his fault, they wanted it). Microsoft had contacted them giving them 3 days to remove it before legal action was going to be taken. They had to close their business down until they could redo it all. This is why I posted what I did above. After all that I would hate to see this become a widespread problem with MS. If your site is not XP related, or fall under the free use act it is copyright infringement.

Microsoft is known for being very aggressive with the technical community. Apple is much more relaxed and open.....


... afterall, what harm can a XP buttons in a forum do to Microsoft? Nothing, of course, but when you are one of the world's richest companies and a team of lawyers, you can bully any and everyone......

Yeah! *NIX 4 LIFE!

I would like to see it released Sinecure, users could always use it as a secondary style. I am sure Microsoft if not going to register just to look at your styles to make sure you don't have an XP style (of course, stranger things have happened ).

hmm....I wouldn't want to take a chance like that, but how many sites are using XP-styled buttons so far? There's got to be more than what Microsoft can find.
