gantz.forumpro.fr/index.htmWe aren't the only gantz rp site, there's another in French. Now this is the kicker, DEM MUTHA FUCKERS STOLE OUR FUCKIN SITE LAYOUT. Now in my book the is sum shit we can fight over cuz they didn't credit us or the guy that Ronnie got our site layout from. Also their main admin has the gantz ball for it's avatar like us. So yeah I'm tryin to start some international fightin cuz I always wanted the chance to verbally abuse a French man. if any of you guys happen to kno about this place and can type and understand French then get on them.

HOLY SHIT! They ripped the forums off like crazy! Now normally I'm for avoiding trouble, however this can't be forgiven. We need to find a way to deliver a six pack of whoop ass to these jokers!
EDIT: I was thinking, one way to completely and utterly crush them like insects would be to do the very thing that we took precaution against awhile back and report them to whoever it is that hosts their forum, whether its for infringement for the art or even a really cheap shot like having adult content. However that might be difficult in that all the links at the bottom of the page are in french. In order to strike our enemy at their weakest point we need someone who is fluent in the french language.

Well this site still looks way better. Why the hell did they put that sub-par youtube video on their main page. The music isn't horrible, but it really doesn't fit the feel of Gantz.

As an admin I would like to say that I feel utterly flattered that a french team would work to put up something like ours; granted, I think that possibly using the same layout is in poor taste (although the site looks very visually different), and I can't read french, so I can't know entirely how they go about things, but why try to start a stink party? Let them have fun; if they enjoy our character templates, system transfers, and whatnot, let them use it! They're not hurting anyone. Remember; there are users on that site the same as any of our users here that are just looking to have a good time RPing like the rest of us, so why would you try to ruin something like that? It's a good thing that there are others like us. We should be happy.
ON A SIDE NOTE: I definitely think they should give credit where credit is due. I saw lots of ads up on their site, and that means that they are likely creating revenue from what we do for fun. I'm not saying we should barrage our users with ads, but I am saying that we don't have any right to tell someone else how to run their forum. We should go about this diplomatically, though; why not work together? Invite them to join us as the official French side of the gantz RP?
2nd edit: Is there a japanese site?

not that I know of, but hey maybe K2110 made his own site. That aside it bothers me that they really did use the background that Ronnie had made for us, and for us only. I can only imagine how the guy who made the background feels.

well if the guy that made it or ronnie wanna take it up with them, that's for them to decide. neither you nor I have all the answers there, so it'd be silly for us to argue about it. What's the news on Ronnie? Where the hell is he? Can't he get to a computer at all?

Well I guess your right about that if neither of them have a problem with it we can't really say anything. It just bugs me when people do stuff like that without asking or giving credit where its due.

I feel you, but the only thing we can do is do things the right way and hope that they follow by example. We've talked to the guy and gotten permission; they should have talked to us (so we could have told them to talk to him) before using it, but they didn't. If I knew anyone that knew French, I would try to contact them, but alas, I have no interpreter.
Anybody know a guy that knows a guy? Or anything like that?

Kbell is right, we should do this the right way. I'll make contact with them and see if we can communicate in english. Hopefully we can make an ally out of this and strengthen our position on the web. I will also ask them to give credit where credit is due. I'm asking you guys not too take any action and pick fights (I doubt anyone would, though)

I'm giving you all a far warning; If any of you take vigilante "cracker" action against the French site, I will be forced to give you a lengthy suspension at the least. Don't even think about it.
