PS3 Node copies T3ch H3lp's Design (again)
Brandon Davenport
Yeah, one of our admirers is at it again, copying and pasting CSS and stealing our bandwidth for our design elements. Bo Shubinsky is the head of PS3Node, and we just wanted to congratulate him on once again, taking a giant poop on our hard work. Now, most of his design elements are stolen from older T3ch H3lp revisions (he can’t keep up it seems), so we’ve decided this is the last straw.

Why we’re really mad
I ( @itsbrandond ) was asked by Bo to design his website, and I offered to do it for free, because he is a nice guy. I worked really hard on it, and he seemed to be pretty happy with it, and I felt great. Later in the coming months, I discovered that he had copied and pasted every single line of our CSS, and image files for his own, and completely ripped off the website. He had decided to make a (horrible) carbon copy of our custom design and call it his own. The funny part was, he thought he would get away with it.
One of our readers pointed out that PS3Node “looked a lot like T3ch H3lp”, and I decided to look for myself. To my horror, he had taken everything from us, and used it as his own material. It’s disrespectful to us, our readers and PS3Node’s readers. It is unacceptable.
I’ll be getting in touch with Shubinsky to settle this, and it wouldn’t hurt to talk to them on Twitter @ps3node and let them know what you think. Check out PS3Node for yourself, and look at the things they copied from us. If you’re tech savvy, compare our style sheets, and let us know if you find anything interesting.
