Hello, anonymous guy who doesn't dare to put any name or email address on his website (should I really say "his"?).
That must be the shame of stealing everything from my site without asking for permission and without giving any credit or link back to my site.

Where did you learn that creating a web site was a simple "browse the web, copy good pages and paste them into your own site" operation? Don't you mind stealing other people's work and claiming its yours?
I have no words to tell what I think of you.

If you read this, and you must if you hope to keep your (should I say mine instead?) site updated, I simply ask you to DELETE everything on your site that you stole from my site (that must be around 95% of your content).

Wow! That site really sucks! In addition to being a complete rip-off of Christophe's page, it has six add-on dungeons from this page that you can get by "buying the game" whatever that means. One dungeon is even named ZYX when it is obviously the Conflux. I tried to download DM from the site just for fun and this was the process.
Clicked on download DM
went to page that said "if you want to download DM click here."
again, went to page that said "if you want to download DM click here."
I held in my laughter and decided not to continue because of the fact that there was a very possible chance that it would take over an hour to download with fifty plus pages of "If you would like to download, click here." If you like DM rip-off pages with continual pop-ups, well, I still don't recommend it.
Sorry Christophe. I imagine you were hoping that this reply would be from the person that made that web page, however, I think others should know that the page does indeed suck, and they shouldn't bother going there.

I'm fairly sure that this person is the same guy who has been 'selling' a Dungeon Master zip file on ebay for the last year.

It comes up there regularly, and every time I see it I report it to eBay. They've closed the auctions on some occasions, but on others they have run their course. It makes me sick that they haven't yet banned this guy for indulging in the worst and most ovious kind of software piracy. It's one thing to offer it for download, but quite another to charge for it.

If it is the same guy, I'm gonna find out where he lives and send the Pain Rats round...

The fact he is trying to sweeten the sail with six DMuted dungeons that people have produced is also sickneing

Can't you mail google, etc to get the page removed from search engines?

No search engine links no business

[sucinum]

this guy SELLS my dungeon???
if there is anyone allowed to charge for it, then thats my person only, but i will not do this.
did i forget any referer in the added textfile to prevent this?
if yes, i will overwork my dungeons and also add this copyright passage.

[sucinum]

i just downloaded the zip file, but opening it crashed my pc. any1 can confirm this? i suggest any1 using a firewall and a virusscanner.

[beowuuf]

...just incase that stops registering more hits!

Nah, the file has no viruses, jsut a .bat that sticks the site into your favourites

I'm guessing that the 'buy' mechanics will be added soon?
Bit sick really - the only reason tobuy the package would be to get the 6 new dungeons
surprised didn't bundle it with DMute too!


Now DMJava, that's where the real money would be...

lol beowulf

The site's just.....well I'm here really aren't I. At the real one. The Yahoo profile simply states male, last edited/created May 12 2002. So pathetic.....and as for buying....erm.....Christophe, fancy working a buying procedure into this site so he can steal it and use it on his?

Where damn are the 5 'new' percents ?
As a Internet entousiasm, this approach of 'building a website' leaves me wordless ...

His screenshots? Or atleast the way he's mangled them almost beyond recognition

If this chickenshit would have had the decency to even put any kind of contact info on the site, he would get sulphur reeking email from me... He not only has bundled my dungeon on that zip file of his, he also has mangled it! Stripped down to the dungeon.dat and a copy&paste of my story into his 'instructions.txt' file! He even stripped my contact info away from the dungeon, no credits or contact info left, NOTHING! Like they were his dungeons! (Not to mention the congratulations of purchase text on top of said instructions file...)

Makes me MAD... VERY VERY MAD...


Dear webmaster of http://uk.geocities.com/dm_ftl/
Since you have not left any contact information so I could contact you directly, I have reported this to Yahoo and requested them to remove the unauthorized material from your site however they see fit.

[Sundeep Nandra]

Do Yahoo ever do anything??

b******s won't let me add my website to their search engine........I assume because an older version of my website I cannot even access to delete anymore (not my fault) is on their search engine. Grrrrrrrr!
