I feel bad and good. Good knowing that people know me, bad that he's just a theif. He doesnt deserve to be an admin if he cant even get his own sig

Just because he stole your sig doesn't mean he knows you.

He wasn't even smart enough to take your name off.

Well your name is still on it, but technically it is not stealing because it is not copyrighted in any way which means that if someone else uses it, there is nothing you can do except register an account and ask to remove it.

All that is great and all but you've still yet to tell me the name of the site

"Ideas" aren't protected by copyright laws... you'll need a patent for that, but it's unlikley that a patent office will grant you one, since ideas need to be original.

Fishwiz, do you mean 1' because 1" means an inch? Anyways, it was supposed to snow here later tonight possibly canceling school tomorrow, but the news said the storm is going to miss us which sucks.

Truestar · Post by **Truestar** » 01 Feb 2007, 23:46

Snow came too late for us, there won't be any snowdays. Then again, I don't care. This semester shouldn't be too difficult.

Yeah, I'd say he's in his mid forties. We've been doing some stuff in PhotoDraw, too, which is better than Paint, anyway.
