Wall Of Shame

As a theme-maker who puts a lot of effort, time and love into her design work, I am appalled by other people taking credit for things that they did not create. Here is a place to call people out on their plagiarism. Maintained and designed by pouretrebelle.

took my background which took hours to make (without even reuploading it) and my elphinstone permalinks for his Velit theme. Also I don't think it's coincidental that all the google fonts he uses are ones that I use, like how his Tristes theme looks remarkably like my homepage and I was using that gothic font on velit when I was using that background last summer.

"All themes and theme ideas were developed by me and all proper credit should be kept on all themes"... er no they're all my ideas

took the permalink and reblog icons from my Ciceron and Ambrosius themes

Edit: I confronted him and he didn't deny it, was apologetic and changed them

Stole my entire streamline theme, added a section for links at the top, claimed that she did “major edits” and proposed to sell it for some obscure price (I believe like $15.25)

Took all the code from my old theme page to make his own. Only rude responses to my asking him to take it down or make his own. Continues to use all my jquery and design concepts on his new theme page. It is so disgraceful that a well-known theme maker has done this.

Edit 2012: So this guy is famous now... let me just direct you HERE

Submitted and almost exact replica of my Florean theme to the garden without any permalinks and with a changed 'theme by' tag.

Stole my Callidora theme, edited some of the cool elements to look cheap and tacky and submitted it to the theme garden, after a lot of rude back and forth I emailed Peter Vidani to have it taken down.
