In any case, this is very important. Several months ago, a coder DBT had hired let a friend into the shell of our mud, and that person copied our mud without permission or either owner's knowledge.
That person then attempted to use our code to make a mud(without even name changes...they actually tried to be us.) We got it shut down in short order. Then a few months later, the same clone we reopened by a friend of the theif, this time they made superficial changes such as name etc. We got that clone shut down off of their server in short order.
Now, just a few days ago, a banned member from our mud(the coder who let his friend into the shell) started the clone up again with one of the people who had attempted it before. This coder, who never ever coded anything in himself, thinks that he has claim to our codebase just because he saw the inside of our shell v.v
These people insult DBT's code(very outdated version they have) yet they are too lazy to make success for themselves by starting fresh. It's funny...
Anyway, I am asking that these theives not be allowed the honor of being considered a legit mud, or getting to advertise for a mud that was made possible through thievery.
Address: 24.50.42.68
port: 3686
Compare to our's and see the proof. Several expamples being the zones, score layout, help files, startup ascii(which they uglified a bit)
Address: dbt.teras-hosting.com
Port: 1280
Anyone against code theivery should support our posistion. This clone of our mud should not be allowed to succeed just because they are too lazy to make success of their own.
