Ok, so I did some work for Tom Calahan, a member of these forums and owner of www.viewandplay.co.uk the thread is here and I’d like some of you to read it:

http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/ display_messages.php?threadid=29919 &forumid=206 [DELETE THE SPACES!!]


What it said in the first post was:

“All you need to do is design a logo that fits in with the rest of the place. Flash5 and anything else can be used, just TRY and keep it's size down a bit as the page will take forever to load.”



So I designed my logo, and won. Tom then said:

I think Andi's logo already feels like it's at home. Nice one dude. Like I said with Rob, whoever wins I'll give you a DVD up to £20 outta me own money.
(http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/ display_messages.php?forumid=206&threadid=29919 &offset=20¤tsort=desc) [DELETE THE SPACES!!]

Now I receive this e-mail from him:

The logo didn't meet the required specifications as after much thought, we came to the conclusion that it was 1mm too wide therefore, invalid. Please kindly take your logo and firmly lodge it up your ar*e.



So, what do you vote I do? I’m in the process of posting this on all the forums I know he uses, and I’ll e-mail a copy to SR. I’m also currently writing an e-mail to his hosts to see if they’ll do anything, for I don’t like to be messed around..


Oh and Tom, I have numerous screenshots to prove your site used my logo, so don’t get any bright ideas.

Well, it's his site, if he wants it taken offline that's his problem.

By playing up I mean being difficult, so website will remain suspended till something happens.

They say that he's still playing up for them, so viewandplay will remain down until they sort something out. Once Tom gets the DVD or cash to me I'll be happy and his website can live on :)

Intriguing...

The account must have been suspended, because I get nothing - just a box requiring authorisation to access the site.


What part of the site are you on? I don't get that.
