It's funny how you get blammed for something you didn't do.

Im not going to use any names becuase it may cuase a ruckus...

Anyway, about 6 months ago, this dude showed me an Icon he made...

I tought it looked cool so I put it as my display picture on msn...

One of my friends who I show my art work and icons to seen my display and said "Nice Icon you made."

I told him I didn't make it, some 1 else did...

Well apprently, the dude who made the icon I had as my display. Was showing it off I guess, and my friend happend to be there...

My freind told that dude that I made it (which I didn't). And I sat right there infront of them both in a msn convo and said I didn't make it.

Then the dude said my story was BS...

Funny how your rep gets destroyed and you get judge by what a friend says... Shows how great the byond community is.. (no offense)

Just tought I would share this, becuase I showed some 1 a flash movie I was working on and he said "It was hard for him to believe I made it becuase, I had a history of ripping.."... come on..WTF...

Yea im really pissed about this situation..

Well cya..

Refer him to this thread if necessary. I've been in design for many years and on BYOND since 2001 (with many channel-published games). An icon is not a big deal. It's not like entire source code. -sigh-

Crispy	It's weird how stealing a single icon is somehow considered worse than stealing the entire source code for a game.

Flame Sage	Well Crispy, in normal terms, when a source code is stolen, it also implies that the icons were also stolen. :)

Crispy	That's exactly what I mean. Crime #1: Stealing one (1) icon. Crime #2: Stealing all the source code and all of the icons for a game. Clearly crime #2 is worse; and yet some people react more strongly against #1 than they do against #2.

DarkView	That's because a lot of people don't understand programming at all but know that it's very hard to draw a picture. They look at programming the way a lot of newbies do, 'battle code', 'chat code', 'Pokemon code' and thus don't recognise source code as being unique.
