My own site

Yes no one can stop you and no one can make you put it back, if the person has any decency they will put it back if asked, if not they should get knocked down by a bus for being so ignorant.

If I ever remove copyrights for a very good reason, eg. it does not all fit into the footer images, I only remove basic stuff not the main copyrights, and even then I move them either into another table near the bottom, some on the same line, or somewhere in plain sight. So if copyrights are removed for a good reason like that, people should at least put them somewhere else in sight, it's not hard and what's a little text going to do to the looks of someones site, nothing.

Anyway, the footer looks so bare and boring without them

Even worse when people put their name there.

As for me and version numbers, EVIL BURN THEM lol, they go the second I see them.

[Jacky]

I always remove version numbers and always will, firstly is screws up peoples attempts googleing for Powered by phpBB 2.0.xx to find versions with flaws, secondly it helps me forget how lazy I am seeing an old version number down there if I don't get round to upgrading for a while.

Version numbers listed publically is suicide IMO. All other copyright fine but version numbers hell no.

IM 1.4.0 now shows the version number only to members who are logged in.
But for safety sake, I removed all of them too.

You can remove the phpBB copyright link from the footer, but not from the core code. But if you remove it in the footer you cannot ask for support at phpBB.com.

The following links might be helpful:

• http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=160
• http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=8

But I also advise you not to remove it. The developers use their time to work on such a nice forum script for no profit and if we were to remove it, it might be too much.

can i remove everything from the overall footer and replace it with "Made by Helter Skelter"? Yes I can, who is going to stop me? Does it make me a lying ass? yes it does! phpBB reallizes that they have no realistic legal recourse if you do it, so they nicely ask that you dont. All they can do is deny you tech support. The reason I get angry when i see ppl do this, is that we loose good designers/coders because they do this for free, only to see some bonehead take credit for what they did. You will never see another fi.com template for just that reason. For those who dont know, templates like fisubBlack3d and fisubBlue and tons of other great templates came from the original forumimages.com (not the current one), but we will never have a new release from them because they got tired of ppl taking thier credit!

thank you for giving those links Jacky, I was not upset with you, only with the idea of ppl stealing credit for something they did not do.

Lol Never though I would be the topic of so much converstation. Just an update I changed to one of Helters themes if anyone cares

And yes the footer is intact except for the version numbers.

I dont want to be hated......snif sniff....
lol

Cheers all
Mike

[Helter]

lol...this discussion wasnt about you, you just started it

BTW Mike, there is an updated copy of zoneCopper in the dl section that is complete. The one your using is missing several images and the borders on most pages

[d6]

lol I made so many changes to that template it would suck to have to overwrite it. can I just overwrite the images folder?

[Helter]

that will give you all the buttons, but not the page borders. You can save your overall header, footer and index though

[Michaelo]

What you don't like mine...

That settles it I'm gona make a the best game theme ever.... Now how do I make CIV 2 look good ...

Joke... mind you... does anyone play civ 2 these days?

[Helter]

[Michaelo]
