Who owns JeffBrownInc.com directory?

www.jeffbrowninc.com

Its using my free template and removed the design and sponsored by links, wondering if its run by any of the DPer.

Thanks,
Srik

Yes freewebspace is the owner.

But he is a reputable member, might be removed by mistake.
PM him.

 

PMed him lets see...

 

he just put the designed by link back, not the sponsored link
I am sure now its not a mistake?
just shows what scum these reputed members are behind the scenes

 

Have you communicated with the owner to see what happened?

 

aren't you missing something here?

first there was no designed by and sponsored by link, after this thread only designed by link is up, no sponsored by link

 

honestly whats left to explain?

 

haha
From my experience all user do that by mistake. I can't understand how it's possible? Nothing removed by mistake, only designer credit remove? It happens a lot for my templates

And I have another experience, I found a site that removed my OS Designer link. I have emailed him about that and he said that site is still under construction!

 

One thing i can not understand is if they want the links gone, why don't they Email the owner of the design and work out a price to remove the links. I did that on a previous template i used.

What a strange year it's been in the directory industry. lol

 

All the more reasons why people do not want to sponsor themes, cause most users just remove them thinking its cool and nothing legal can be done about.

Shame.

 

well said paidposting. its true i have seen lots of ppl remove sponsor link.

 

Agreed, but I got success on 90% case in my templates. May be I am lucky

 

yes most of them keep them, need threads like these to discourage wannabe remover's

 

I don't bother with people that remove links from my templates since the rest (90%) keep links.
Why ? Because I do not put 3 or 4 stupid links in the footer. I have hard time putting 2 in there and I despise templates with 3 or 4 "sponsored" links in the footer. Put those sponsored links in the sidebar with possibility for removal and people will actually leave footer alone

 

Sorry for my long absence,

I have sold jeffbrowninc.com to a DP member

and I have PM ed srik79 about this

 

I also hate how free templates have 3-4 links in the footer, sidebar, topbar
greed
i wouldnt use these templates ever and Im sure others think the same

I think the value of these links is very low now anyway
I noticed a lot of directories relying on template links have lost pr

 

using or not using is your decision but if you use, then you need to follow the license under which they are released.

 

Actually there is no such license technically , and i am sure no on can sue any either on such non-existant license. IF there is any license like that what is it called ?
