So I was hanging out in IRC like usual when one of the denizens posts a link to the following article on FCG @ Londes.

http://londes.com/article.php?id=342

So I get to reading it and everything seems a bit similar to me. I get to the stacks and I realize their mine from my primer. The order and basic formatting were the exact same. I get to match-up's and see he has the same match-up's I did, but rewrote parts of it.

Well hell just see for yourself. Wink The original is obv. here. I've already contacted the site, but who knows when they'll fix it. I find it a bit funny at how poor some of the assertions are (Look at the title) and such a blantant rewrite to a rather well known primer. Oh well, enjoy, and feel free to point out the blantant stupidity on their forums if you like.  :lol:

Your primer also got ripped off by some Japanese site, and by ripped off I mean translated.

I actually saw that JP. That I thought was actually pretty cool, since it was only translated.

BTW, someone responded to Jeek's forum post:

Man, that was the forum owner who said that.

How incredibly weak.  But Londes.com rips off articles all the time.
