Sent removal messages to E-mails and posted on their boards.

*grumbles*

I'd normally think of something witty like "ripping off is flattery of sorts", but instead I'll say this just pisses me off to no end.

Folks, I wont support anyone who comes to me from these other sites asking for help- as a matter of fact my instruction for getting a ui to work for them starts with c:\> format c

I've been following up on this, and it appears that they have removed the copies that they had on their site. I will continue to monitor the site in case they try to do it again after the fuss has calmed down.

Any time anyone sees a site that is hosting UIs and you don't think it is "legitimate", please do come and tell the authors. The only way we can stop copyright infringement is if we all work together to stop it.

Is anyone aware that FileFront is hosting a small number of skins? (and my viewer)

Check it out here:

FileFront

Do a quick Google search and you may find some interesting places where your skins are being hosted....
