Oh My God! I feel so little now!
This is like.... made by the gods!

[Jubba]

THere isnt much anyone can do or make without having people say that they ripped off of 2A. I see some similarities and that website may have been inspired by 2A but I honestly don't think that they meant it as an exact rip. They have some very interested differences and I think that they actually attempted to differentiate themselves.

[eilsoe]

just because it's big and blue, doesn't mean it's ripped off 2A...

this is just effects-effects-effects... takes forever just to get to the menu...



flash isn't about making the coolest effects...

[GARRETTDESIGN]

I don't think that's a rip off of 2a at all. I think it's very well done in fact. I agree, just b/c its blue doesnt mean its a ripoff.

[fluid_0ne]

dunno...
i have whole bunch of ripping eg's

original: websteem.pl/
rip: http://xero.webesteem.pl/008/www.downpourdesigns.org/main/

reeeeeeeeeeealy suspicious similarity...

[GARRETTDESIGN]

well................I think we can all find rips.

[Guig0]

jubby and e man: you´re kidding right?

[RenaissanceGirl]

It might share the same color scheme as 2advanced, but it's not a rip at all. Look at the intersection tweens and the button animations for example.

[Guig0]

and what about the layout organization? the sections bg image (building+sky)? the loader clip? the menu? the transitions? ...

[fluid_0ne]

thats right guig0


btw.
found REALY GOOD POLISH site:

I don't think it's a ripoff but I can see some effects that are @ 2advanced too! Ther box that covers the stage if you click on a button seems similar! And some other effects too!
But Tis being ne rip-uff!

[Jubba]

Yes, I said some of the things are similar but I don't think the whole thing is. The buttons are different, the transitions are different. The layout is different too. 2A has the large box and then smaller boxes bellow it. Almost every site out there has a large box under the navigation.

[andr.in]

wo fluid one nice site that one!
I hate bugs! The big bug appearing is scary!
Lol click on Portfolio and then when the it's loaded rollover the bunny many times!! LMAO! How do they do that?????????????

[GARRETTDESIGN]

I see a TINY bit of inspiration. But not a rip by far.

[fluid_0ne]

hehe

[Guig0]

well... ok then :-\

[GARRETTDESIGN]

Now THIS is a rip: http://www.chudian.com/

orig: www.estudio.com

[andr.in]

the chudian one doesn't werk for meh!

[eilsoe]

I've seen the chudian rip before, and that IS a rip.. a shameless rip at that too...

[Marz]

Hmm.... Interesting... That's why I don't browse around the net that much... So I know all my ideas will be fresh and new..

Well.. If I ever have ideas.. *lmao*

playamarz :beam:

[Daveman]

www.besgrove.net :pirate:

[eilsoe]

haha :P

nice =)

[kirupa]

The site mentioned at the beginning of the thread is not a total rip, but it shares a lot of similarites with other sites designed by 2A. A lot of the animation such as arrows going around the square reminds of a dj's site that 2A advanced designed a bit earlier.

The home page's layout and colors are similar though - some creativity did go into making it original though :)

Cheers!
Kirupa :pirate:

[Immulsifier]

Aye its not a rip :)

[Alex]

eh, that web site puts mine in the trash compacter. :(

[Mik3]

I dont think its ripped off, I think its the best flash site yet. 2A stinks compared to it lol.

[c!rYx]

Hm, I think it is not a rip of 2a. The Menu is kind of blurry, the loader is to full. And he pretty much has a different style as you see at the very top of his site...

[grimdeath]

OMG even his logo is a rip if you go here you can see he ripped it from here:

http://www.coolhomepages.com/newstatic/Logos/10.html

this person here either has no creativity at all or is very lazy

[Iammontoya]

Rip or not, I dont like it. If I want a psychodelic trip I just watch 12 Monkeys or something.

Functionality? Very low grade in my book... But hey, more power to them.

Rip? Well, it's okay to be inspired by the work of others. If I pick up my pencil and try to draw a ballerina, will someone think Im ripping off Degas?

We may look at an awesome site and say, Hmm.. that is appealing to me, but I like it this way better. So you change it a little; you draw from their idea to create your own. You see a flower, you draw it in flash, but instead of round petals you decide you like them square.. who are you ripping off?

Before the flood of bashing begins, I do agree that some people dont even try and they will just blatantly make a duplicate of someone else's site. Microsoft calls them templates in Frontpage hahahhaa (no offense, Kirupa!)
