this thread was like a blowjob from ukit's mum. it's slightly better than no blowjob at first but it gets boring fast and eventually you just want your $5 back and forget the whole thing ever happened.

Glad you are enjoying the entertainment. I am interested in peoples experience of this happening to them. Particularly creatives... It seams crazy.

Well, here's the funny thing, turns out there's a well known internet scammer named Liam Young who has a history of stealing people's sites. This guy, apparently:
But sadly, it looks like the Liam Young who you need to talk to is a fairly reputable graphic designer. In fact, he's scheduled to give a talk alongside Adrian Shaughnessy, author of How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul if you believe his site.

Alright, here is the "variousartists.com.au" Liam Young:
From his Twitter page: http://twitter.com/liam_young
I suggest you get in touch and politely ask what the fucking hell's going on.
- politely?
I would go hardcore style to destabilize the enemybenfal99
- politely?

I don't know, this guy (Liam Young #2) looks pretty normal and not the sort who would steal a website. I'm still wondering if it's just a mixup or miscommunication of some sort, or if ae is in fact actually the other Liam Young.
- Just kidding on that last part, but seriously, it's weirdukit
- < kidding yeah? most serial killers are quite normal looking fellas.airey
- Not just normal but he seems like an actual graphic designer and not a scam artist I meanukit
- you never know...benfal99
- ... you never knowbenfal99
- Yeh mate - have a look through the site and the code in the homepage. They stole the site...ae

Wait wait, something doesn't add up. This Liam Young (ukit's and georges' links) seems London-based, not Australia-based.
- Yeah, but the second one is definitely the guy linked off the siteukit

OK now that things have settled down a bit, I can finally post this

the drama. the intrigue.

So, what the fuck then?
I want a final ending that will make my jaw drop on the floor.
Otherwise, that thread will be a total letdown.

what's the purpose if all of the contact info is the same?
- ok, it's 4:42, I need to sleep and hopefully this will be resolved when I awake.acescence
- that's what I was saying. Is it possible they just made a mistake with the forwarding of the site somehow...doesn't really seem possible does it?ukit
- <
Damned good question, this.Continuity - really seem possible does it?ukit
- The site goes to his email now, not mine...ae
- And it is now google which ranks his site when people search for my work... Nasty piece of work.ae

Maybe an elaborate piece of concept art...various artists an all;)
