Man, you'd think if you were going to blatantly steal our work (http://www.757forums.com/) you'd at least remove our URL from the CSS files you mirrored (see attachment). I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but according to the source that showed me this page, the creator (http://www.myspace.com/757forums) is selling the "design and images and memberlist code" to other clients around the internet for cash. AP.net's basic design is nothing new (or that special) - but our images are most certainly original creations (not amazing, but functional I suppose) and attempting to illegally copyright things we spent time developing is sort of a low-blow. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the images on AP.net are not for use or re-creation without my consent (and my templates/code are not free game either). I'll license them out to you if you really want them ... but they're not worth the money, trust me (use the default images, they're free). Our copyright policy (http://www.absolutepunk.net/faq.php?faq=policies#faq_copyright) is still up for those interested. I got a laugh out of the whole thing at least. Thanks to the anonymous user for sending this our way.

I am a Christian foremost, saved and bought at a price with the BLOOD of CHRIST. God is an important part of my life. And just because I’m a Christian doesn’t mean I’m so pansy push over either. I have my mind set on my goals and my future. And the possibilities are endless.

Like I said earlier, I’m a Christian, and that’s an important part of my life. I try to represent my faith in my life, but values are only as good as those who keep them. And I do have my own struggles. If you want to talk, feel free to ask me, I’m probably unlike any Christian you have met."

Spamming the guy will give him more posts then he's seen since he was created! I'd rather he just simply change the images - and stop selling them to others. I emailed him, he responds and stops - good - if he doesn't - well, it sucks, but it's not the end of the world. Thanks for the support though guys! I appreciate it.

I just wanted to say OWNED!!!!!!

Just so you guys know, this guy Mike Key, aka THE KING on that thieving site has to resort to using a fake profile of a female to promote his site.


********NOT SAFE FOR WORK WARNING*************

Heres the profile he uses:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofi le&friendid=42321065

and heres the REAL girl!
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofi le&friendID=38540363

How much of a toolbox do you need to be to create a FAKE girl ant PRETEND to be her and really be the owner of a SHITTY FAKE website!!!!


Enjoy folks!

Eh, that looks like 2 fake myspaces with the same girl to me.

Another fun fact of the day!

757forums opened in DECEMBER 2005

Yet his memberbase goes back to 2002

Coincidence? I think not!

He imported the database from his car site to boost the numbers tto make it look like there are people on the site. Prior to that, he had 600 members, and only 100 of them actually visit the site, and 20 of them post.


sad...sad...sad.

Whats up all. Just registered on here. Kick ass site compared to 757forums.com since Michael Key (christian, LMAO) STOLE everything from here. Someone PLEASE let me know what the outcome was after everything is said and done. I USED TO have some respect for this guy, but since I saw this, the post on vb.org, his source code, etc, that respect was lost. If you all need help on dealing with him, let me know, theres quite a few people I know that will be glad to help. Including myself. By the way, how much is banner advertisment on here? Do you guys do that?

from doing some investigative work myself i would have to say that the king is here all ready :welcome:

that's because you are about 14 hours too late on this news and the owner took the site down and changed a bunch of stuff. Look at this screenshot - http://www.absolutepunk.net/images/fb/pwned.gif

steals icons, names, "interactive drama", and stole images right from jason, so much so that Jason could change the image that he was leeching on his site to a pwned icon.

No... he's not talking about 757... He is talking about Acclaimed Punk... which at the same time does not look anything like AP.net.

His site is back up, and it is STILL a clone of this site. I relly hope you give this guy what he deserves. This is not the first time he has done this and needs to be taught a lesson! DO NOT show him ANY mercy!

If there is ANY information you need on him, let me know!

Seeing and reading all this has made my day. Ill inform yall in a little more info on this wonderful Christian guy that done no sin

... well exept

1. STEALING someones hard and dedicated work
2. HITTING a female
3. FRAUD
4. IDENTITY THEFT
5. HAVING a wilderbeast as a girlfriend

I as well know this kid PERSONALLY, I help run a local offtopic forum and we are ... well were his DIRECT competition. So of course we butt heads.

A few years ago he attempted to crash 2 of our local/state message forums, but failed ... after being banned from all of them had no choice but to make one of his own. Thats where my problem with him started, escaladed big time after he hit a personal friend of mine ... which happens to be female ... ah yes very christian like.

Now we have competing sites, good clean compeitiion wasnt really an issue, and im not trying to be cocky when I say this but we started ours from scratch (not importing memberbase from previous sites) and we have 5xs the members ... our board is very active and it just pissed him off. Now to find out he was a fake girl, and his entire site was a rip off just makes me smile.

It was brought to the attention of his members (the few that actually posted, but worship him) and of course problems evolved with him ripping off other sites, being a fake myspace girl ... etc etc. What I found even more hilarious hes brought his wilderbeast girlfriend to his level. He was put in jail just recently for bad checks ... and the wilderbeast posted under his name the whole week pretending to be him.

I hope, pray, rub my magic lamp, use my last wish that yall decide to take legal action, he obviously enjoyed the bars being he didnt see anything wrong with all the actions hes taken.

Yeah, very good points Broke Neck. Especially since he told me via AIM that ALL the images and whatnot on his site were created by him in photoshop. That his site was HIS custom work. Well, sure as hell doesn't look that way now since his source code and whatnot was copied from this site as well as his memberlist and almost every image from here.

I work in a nightclub, and we had a group gathering from our forum out at my work one night, we also have some photo gurus on our board.

Well we visited 757 only to see a few pictures that were taken by our members on his home page. Even took out our watermark.

Its sad, very sad ... i hope that you do decide to take legal action against him, im sure you could land a nice chunk of change.
