Lisa Sparks - CurvyBucks, Thieves, DBags!
 

hey, so we all know programs borrow ideas, designs styles etc from other people, we all know that if we see something we like, then try to design something original, with what we liked in our head, it will turn out like the product we were admiring, but this is taking it a little too far.

not only did CurvyBucks rip our members login page, the weren't even smart enough to change the customer support link, which links to our customer support from their members login page.

I know, it's just a login page, bu that's not the point, Anyways, they must be doing a few sales this Christmas season as our CS department has fielded several complaints about their members not being able to access their shitty members area.

Hey CurvyBucks, free advice, give you customers your real CS info, and your retention will go up, next time you'll get charged for the advice, and it won't be ways to increase retention.

Merry Christmas!

here is a screencap of one of our sites logins, we've been using the design for a couple years, followed by the lisasparks login.

douchebags!

at least it's not another wallet ;)

Lol no comment

That's just lazy/stupid! lol

rogue designer!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh i had to resist

I have had designers do that to me.

we have in house designs, I know that outsourced designers have been known to steal designs, but someone codes the page with links to us still in it, so this is not a "designer sent me a design like this and I just put it up" kind of thing, this is in house, lazy theft.

I'm sorry, But it looks all the same, tell your designer to do better next time:upsidedow

The least you could do is give them a reciprocal link to their customer service from your somewhat similar join page.

i love that girl from iameighteen header

Its def a rip but I fail to see what is so creative or innovative about the page. Looks just like 100 other join forms I've seen.

Wow if you steal don't be too lazy to change the links!

Hahahaha that was funny....

Merry Xmas

That didn't take long. :1orglaugh

Rogue rogues, bros will help YA

Ahh...OK, fair enough...but do you admit that you first stole it from Porn Star Global? :pimp

Nobody said it was innovative or overly creative. It was directly stolen -- They left the CS link intact for the "forget password" link. I'm surprised they were smart enough to not hotlink our images :upsidedow

What's Porn Star Global? Link? I get a white page at the .com :Oh crap

Isn't Lisa Sparks the one that was accused of stealing dude's wallet (forget his name, long hair, hosting company I believe) at a show? Name rings a bell :pimp

The great CAZtastrophe…

Ah yes! I miss you Sly!

they copy it, not steal
it's legit then

I apologize for this. I wont make any excuses. I guess imitation is the highest form of flattery. I have removed the page. Again I do apologize.

Porn Star Global is dead :2 cents:

She sucks a mean cock though! I like her big butt too yummy

Can we all get along here...eeek ;)

Well poo, I was about to complain about my entire members area getting ripped and spread around for free but a copied login page trumps that. ;-)

It is a great looking login page.

Oih! Dont fucking bring ME into this !!! :mad:


:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

I agree they shouldn't rip your design, But there is something much worse going on here. Does the Model even know your using her id pics for public use? I'm not trying to make enemies or pick a fight but that's pretty lame on your side :2 cents:

If you watch any trailer for Iameighteen.com you will notice that the whole point about the site, is the girl proving she is 100% 18 at the time of shoot. They 100% know we use their ID, all relevant information is blanked out but her date of birth. The site concept is built around this, producers fully informed the girls before shooting.

:1orglaugh Rogue designer.

thats a nice page. I might have to borrow that ;P

You thought that this would be thought about with common sense, but people here think about trying to cause trouble first, use their brain second. Its typical GFY. If you cant match up the thought process of Iam18 and a photo ID. You are retarded. You did a good job explaining and not flipping out. I dont have that kind of patience..

Lisa, feel free to gain inspiration from our login page. Nobody is saying you can't have something similar, but you should really make it your own instead of "Save as..." :upsidedow

We all get inspiration from others' work, and that's not a bad thing, however, you need to make it your own as stated above, instead of a straight-up ripoff.

Happy Holidays!

Good post :winkwink:

Not everyone realizes that there are actually adult companies out there that are on the up-and-up and do things legitimately.

iameighteen.com was shot that way with full model consent, and continues to be a big hit with our members :pimp

I totally understand about copying someones work. I completely understand where they are coming from. I had a friend help me out with the login page. I had no idea they copied everything. It was my mistake for not checking. It was also my mistake for not going over all the links to make sure they worked as well. So I fully take responsibility and all I can do is make a public apology.

Happy Holidays

That is such a classic quote. I'll never forget when pornprofit used that line!

Well that's something you almost never see around here: someone owning up, taking responsibility and apologizing for their screwup. Props, Lisa:thumbsup

Yeah... Lisa, you can give me a handy and I will give you mad props for being top notch!

You're alright in my books :thumbsup

If you want some help with your login page, let me know :pimp

Add in a little butthole play and I'll vouch too. :thumbsup

As long as the girl knows then cool and I apoligize for questioning it in public like this.



Nothing retarded about it. It has happened to a girl I know. her ID was used without her knowledge or consent.

Ooops sorry bout my drunk post up there. No disrespect ;)

My surfer days got me thinking about a scene or two...
