Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Check this out guys:-

Then Lando's:-

http://www.landoslocker.com/

We worked really hard on the design and layout of Lando's Locker and this guy has just came along and copy and pasted the HTML, copied the css, and done an imitation job on some of the images too!

They say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but to be honest, I'm feeling a little ackward about this :?

Put yourself in my shoes, would you be flattered or upset?

I'd be pissed that someone copied my site withouit asking or giving credit.

Shawn Kemple has helped me lots of times on RS with adding things to my collection, I recently visited his site and noticed the incredible similarity to yours Coco, I wanted to get in contact with you to find out if it was a template you used but your first post in this thread covers that question, Shawn is a good guy to speak to, I think you should contact him on RS or send him an email.

Only joking, definately would email him and tell him how you feel and to change his layout or give you credit!

Just sent him a PM on RS with a link to this thread, looking forward to his reply :wink:

I want to publicly apologize to Stephen. I had no intent to make him upset. I wanted a way to display my collection online and really liked his site and am not much of a web programmer. Everything pictured on my site was from my collection though. I even used my own star background, so no images were stolen just the basic design. I have now taken the site offline and will change it.

I am sure Stephen won't have any hard feelings he seems like a pretty good natured guy, good of you to do the right thing as I knew you would, hell Lando's is such a good site I might have pinched the template if I could be bothered to get a website going!

Trouble is I am too lazy to start let alone to copy!

Glad this all got settled

Good luck with the new site Shawn and don't be a stranger on here!

Following a couple of deals i completed with Stephen i know he is a good bloke. I can also understand why Shawn used the template of Lando's locker as it is a great website.

I have been thinking of setting up my own website to fully showcase my chewbacca focus collection.

With little web design skills i really do not know where to start so i guess this is what happened when Shawn used the templete.

Looks like all is resolved.

Fair play to Shawn for coming on and apologising.
I guess it was a compliment to Coco's site, and no offence was intended.

Hope you stick around Shawn.

Hello and welcome to the forum Shawn.

I appreciate your response and the fact that you have come here to apologise

Just replied to your PM on RS and I'm sure we will be able to sort this out :wink:

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I decided to switch the site over to wordpress, which also allows me to post content about my collection and new purchases. It was a quick way for me to get the site back up since I have set up a few sites with that software already. I am still tweaking a few things here and there, but I think it was a change for the better. I will have to visit these boards more it looks like a great community.

Steve, it would be great to see a website for your Chewie focus. I have enjoyed your limelight post on rebelscum and can't believe how quick it has grown.
