Okay, I have one thing to add to this whole argument, even though it’s past. As some of you may already know, I just can’t let things die until I’ve had my say….and that makes me lol.

Here we go. The one thing, ONE THING, I have to say about this, to you Rain, is this and I quote: “And for your information all of the pictures I found on my sidebar including the one cyruz mentioned are off of google.com search engines, not from sites, as I mentioned in my posts.” Google.com is a search engine, as I’m sure we all know having spent our lives, some of us since birth, on the interwebs. The only problem I have with this statement, Rain, is that google.com links you to SITES where you can obtain PICTURES and even more so, CONTENT. It’s not something that creates things from scratch just for you. If I go to google.com right now, I could click on the Images link, type “Pangya” and be swamped with millions of pictures. All of the pictures which appear on our pages in thumbnail form I can click and they will lead me to their site of origin or where they are posted at. All you have to do is google an image, particularly one that says “Quit Rate Reduction Event” and blammo! You’ve got yourself someone else’s image! I mean, seriously, are you that naive?

Not really complaining to the whole stealing issue since that is past, but I’m very curious as to why take a picture of Lucia from my S4 beta post, and photoshop your name like it’s your own? It’s located on your photo album section.

Example: http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s1/Sweatdr0p/luciaduo.jpg

Ah well, I lol’d. I even added my watermark on the picture for the lulz too. Well, lesson is learned so let’s move on.

Ah, since you mentioned that you use pictures from actual Pangya sites, then I thank you for the complainant~ I never knew my blog is considered an official Pangya site. Makes me happy. ^^

Well to quote “Imitation is the sincerest of flattery” - Charles Caleb Colton

Just goes to show your blog is better. I don’t like watermarking for edits if it isn’t my own image from complete scratch. But it’s understandable when plagiarising is so blatant that you have to take measures to protect your content.

But anyway to the point of my comment I suggest using a Creative Commons license ( http://creativecommons.org/ ) and posting the icon and licence link on your blogs. Blogging is a creative form of expression after all.

I use this one http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

The article is corrected, but I would like to advise if you don’t want people to use your real name then not to post it up. That’s basically tossing out information that you don’t want anyone to have (like your SSN or address). You’re free to use mine, but most people will not recognize it on the internet. Also, I’d like to add that you and your fanbase are the only ones who considered it solid proof out of the people involved.

Thank you for posting, and have a good day.

I do think it is a good idea to keep this up to show what happened but I would like to ask if you please remove my whole name from this post as seening that I never used any of your full names in anything I have ever posted. I feel this is unright for everything I have done now to make up for our argument. And for your information all of the pictures I found on my sidebar including the one cyruz mentioned are off of google.com search engines, not from sites, as I mentioned in my posts. Wether someone changed them or kept the the same is not my business, nor my fault. I took off my arguments because 1. it is a waist of space and 2. because this problem is resolved. But as I stated it is fine to keep my game name, my youtube name but I would appreciate it if you delete my actual name, or I have a right to use yours too. Thank you-
Rain

p.s- If I am accused of stealing anything ever again that I have solid proof of where I got it (via- the game sites like everything else you accuse me of)… I will not argue nicely because this was a ridiculous argument and frankly a waist of time.

I would like to note there was a large discussion on Rain’s site, but she has deleted the entry so no one can read either sides. Just stating facts Rain never admitted she stole anything, and I continued to accuse her. Apparently she is going to add links from now on. This post will remain up to document what has occurred.

As always if anyone sees stolen work from any site, then please alert them. This is not a jab at Pangya Nation, but a word to all my visitors. Thanks again for your support~!

OMFG! You took one image from the GOA official kit web about Pangya and you just cut their logo! O.O

Playing Golf is totally free, but pick images from everywhere and cut the logo is totally disgusting…

Problem Solved… Please go to Pangya Nation my last argument on this is posted and sure I accomodated to you. Sorry for this whole mess I really do appologize but I do not appreciate my whole name on here or being called a theif when evertything past since you wrote me I have not stolen. Please got check im sure you will be somewhat satisfied and visit the podcast page too. Sorry to all just wanted to prove myself innocent and show you what I did for my site.

Still don’t believe me? Let’s try this little test. If you have tabs enabled on your browser, then please open this image in one tab: http://pangyanation.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/9/5/1195562/7783347.png This is straight from Pangya Nation’s side bar (unless Rain removes it by the time you read this)

Now, open this image in your tab: http://pangya.faithfuldreamer.net/updates/korea_025.png

Switch between both images and there’s an example of said proof.

The images were removed, but I took pictures of them. You can follow the same test here with the following images:
