Secret admirer?

Check it out, the new Dynoflash web site is a carbon copy of Vishnu's.

I guess imitation is the highest form of flattery!

I was disgusted at first, but then I realized it's something to be expected. Not too surprising. Kind of sad really.

Talking It's a joke, laugh!

It's actually a much cleaner version (no Flash, less Java) with nothing beyond the look copied (if you look at the source) I think its a hilarious joke

they are both pretty cookie cutter sites. Just a clean easy setup. Prolly just a coincidence.

After Nastea's inference and looking at both sites back to back, its obviously Al's retaliation to the name "Cannonball" sounding like "Fireball", even though one is named for a race and one names for a moderator.

I don't think it is big deal. Both could have used the same template from webpage software. Who really cares? I know I don't.

Its not so much the template, as the writing that's the ripoff. Anyway, it is 100% on purpose. The navigation really looks weird for Dynoflash, though, as most of it is empty and there are not enough products to support a site with navigation like that.
