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

The 'competition' may have been on SR, but it was nothing to do with SR, besides, it was an offer of a possible prize, rather than an agreed prize.

As you say, it's a shame that morals have gone downhill and people have to have something in return for helping out, greed is on the increase.

Anyway, I've yet to hear the other side of this arguement.

Thanks TomUK for that useful comment.. ;)

And pb, I know the mail was from him because who else would know I'd e-mailed him and want to e-mail me back saying that?? And Stryke's spoke to him on MSN anyway..

It seems to me as though morals have gone down the drain, shame really because if it happened to you you'd all be quiet p*****-off.

Right. He signed a contract to provide goods which you paid for did he? No, he offered something FOR FREE from his own money and with no given time limits.

Besides, are you sure that the mail came from him?
