I can show you probably hundreds of forums across the internet that will all look similar to the EG site. Many of them will be older, so by your comments the EG ripped them off did it?
PHPBB is a program that makes creation and running of forums easier. It stands to reason that people will like certain settings that are the same. If you have 10 themes and 100,000 sites, its likely that there will be a lot of repeating.
I respectfully ask you to learna little about the software before you go ranting over copying.
First, where am I 'ranting'? I'm simply putting forward an alternative view. I suggest therefore that you are dismissing anything other than your own view as 'ranting'. Dismiss and berate, a time honoured tactic.
The EG has a face-lift (still not sure I particularly like it, mind!) then the MCN forum, which is supposed to be different, which claims to be an alternative to this site in many ways, then goes and has the same face-lift. There was nothing cosmetically wrong with the old site. If the proprietors of the other site REALLY wanted to make an impact with their change of facia, then they should really have done it BEFORE the EG. After all, they all claimed to know that it was coming!
