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

In response to this outrageous act of bullying, we should boycott View And Play. We need Edgy to moan senselessly first, and Shaneo to take up the latest fad.

Sigh...

Because I always have trouble accessing them! Right at this moment, I keep getting 'page not found' from the link on your main page.

That's useful, cos my details aren't the same for this account as they are for my supanames account and as far as I'm concerned, that is sod all he can do about it.

Well, he could track you through your domain registrar - SupaNames.co.uk - and see if that address tallies with your account at SR. I'm sure that, should it become a legal issue, both companies would be obliged to provide the necessary details.

I'm not saying who's right or wrong, just that you shouldn't think that you're anonymous should anything come of it.
