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

Desparate times require desparate measures.

I agree, morals have gone down the drain, but there isn't really much you can do. There wasn't a legal contract or anything. I can imagine how you feel, but theres nothing you can do.

I'm having no further part in this argument

true it was not an agreed prize there was no contract saying you would win that prize, but there was no need for him to send an e-mail like that back to you.

ignore my earlier reply, I have come to a better conclusion:

Do what YOU want.

Tom, have you done something to my account on viewandplay? I can't log on, yet I haven't done anything wrong, so you can't have banned me.
I've tried that e-mail thingy as well, it e-mails me a new password, I activate it, it doesn't work. I can't sign up again either as I have no other e-mail.

Have you got something against me?

Yes no morals, yes tom calahan is not only a liar and a cheat, but also has the matuarity of a 3 year old and obviously no one cares on SR anymore..

I used to love this place, I try and warn people who use his website what he's like and look what I get..
