YOU KNOW, I CAN JOKE ABOUT THIS NOW BECAUSE IT'S GOTTEN TO A POINT OF RAMPANT RIDICULOUSNESS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO IS HAVE A LAUGH.

OVER A DECADE AGO PEOPLE LAUGHED WHEN WE WANTED TO OPEN OUR OWN SPIRIT KEEPING SITE, PEOPLE SAID NO ONE WOULD CARE. THEN PEOPLE MOCKED US FOR OPENING THIS FORUM, THEY SAID IT WAS STUPID.

NOW IT'S AT A POINT WHERE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING COPIED ON IT. DON'T GET ME WRONG MOST SELLERS DO THEIR OWN THING & THEY COME UP WITH THEIR OWN IDEAS & THEY FIND THEIR OWN CREATIVE PATH. YOU SEE THEIR STUFF & SAY "HEY, THAT'S AWESOME" INSTEAD OF "HEY, WHERE DID I SEE THAT BEFORE?" 8P BECAUSE, HEY, YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT WHEN PEOPLE ARE COPYING YOU. YOU ALMOST CAN'T BLAME THEM, WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL WHEN SOMEONE HAS COME UP WITH A REALLY AWESOME WHEEL THAT'S BEEN WORKING FOR SO LONG, RIGHT? BUT, I MEAN, C'MON, AT LEAST HAVE AN ORIGINAL IDEA ONCE IN AWHILE \D

SOME OF THESE SELLERS & SITES OUT THERE COPY OUR STYLE, COPY OUR WORDING, COPY OUR PLATFORM DOWN TO A SCIENCE (SHOP, ENCY, FORUM, MARKET, ETC), WHO ACTUALLY WILL MAIL OUT OUR OWN LITERATURE WITH THEIR BINDINGS (ON CH LETTERHEAD) & TRY TO SAY IT'S THEIRS, COPY THE INFORMATION VERBATIM OR ALMOST VERBATIM FROM OUR ENCY & TRY TO PASS IT OFF AS THEIR OWN INFO (THEY GIVE NO LINK BACK).

I MEAN, HOW FAR IS IT GOING TO GO? \D FOR THE COPIERS OUT THERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I'M WEARING EACH DAY? WOULD YOU LIKE US TO JUST GO AHEAD & POST ALL OUR PLANNED EVENTS, SPECIAL OFFERS, NEW BINDINGS, ETC? THAT WAY YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAUNT OUR WEBSITE LIKE OUR OWN PERSONAL GHOSTS. %)

THERE'S NO DOUBT CH IS THE MOST COPIED SITE IN THE KNOWN WORLD, POSSIBLY THE UNIVERSE, WHO KNOWS. I'M SURE IT'S GOING ON EVEN IN OUR ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS. 9) SINCE IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR LIKE 10 YEARS NOW & WILL PROBABLY KEEP GOING ON I THINK WE SHOULD ALL HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT & A GOOD LAUGH.

*UNDER STUFF TO INCLUDE ANY PIECE OF CLOTH WORN UNDER ANYTHING I'M WEARING ON TOP OF IT. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN ANOTHER THREAD.

You should sell them clones of yourself.

Under stuff?

Well people do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so maybe this is bordering on worship or something. Nice new avatar Ash.

I am so glad i stick to the originals...aka you and Mags!

Sorry to say but when you are the best that will happen.. Saddens me tho when I think of all the time you have spent to make this the best site around and other feel the need to "creatively acquire" your info.

*takes out pen and paper* It's green....no no...blue...wait, I can see you through the window...move over into the light... (j/k)

everyone knows...Ash goes commando!

WELL IF THEY SEE THAT THEN THEY WOULD BE TOO MESMERIZED TO HAVE TIME TO COPY ANYTHING \D ALL HAIL THE KING, BABY LMAO
