We are backing up old systems today at work. Was going through files on the system I am on, and the person who left before I came here had this little gem sitting on their desktop:
Original:
Rip:
Anyone seen this home page somewhere else before? Can't imagine they didn't rip the home page too if they had to completely bite another site's sub-page design:

That's my concern with the "state of web design" today, everything looks like a theme. I used to think Jakob Nielsen will kill creative web design, but now I believe the "blog theme" killed creative web design.

Are you out of your mind?
- Are you plain stupid? They are clearly identical, you retard.dMullins

Weird but not very shocking. I'd just move on knowing that the designer before you had some shady leanings. Hopefully your workplace isn't a culture that encourages this type of stuff.
Looks like the image on his desktop was from here:

Yeah cmon at some point it gets a little ridiculous.
How many sites have a minimal layout with left hand nav?
- How many one page scrolling portfolios, etc...abettertomorrow
- Well, for starters, it's a right-hand nav, moron.dMullins
- I'm talking about the reuse of layouts in general geniuosabettertomorrow
- Granted, there's some similarity in the examples you posted, but so what?abettertomorrow
- Obviously you cared enough to fucking analyze it. Don't you have some boring music to post in FMT?dMullins
- lol...where's the anger coming from? Just stating an opinion.abettertomorrow
- When you jump in calling people retard and moron expect some blowback.abettertomorrow
- Maybe I misunderstood the intent of your post, but you tend to come off insulting yourself....dMullins
- I thought abettertomorrow was just kidding. I was grossly incorrect.Jaline
- I'm dead serious Jalineabettertomorrow

both are ripping the uninspired.
fuckin web design is so homogenized now, thanks to wordpress and drupal and the like. fuck man. calling a rip on this bullshit says more about you than the sites you mention.

Looks like a Joomla spawned template.

It's definitely a rip!
Let's fuck 'em up!

nothing particularly original in either. Give me an hour and I am sure I can find a dozen more look-alikes.
Take a text-based html site, add some stock photos, keep to a standard grid and viola! Have you not seen the onslaught of WordPress templates?
Nothing inspiring, nothing horrible, nothing to talk about.
(personally I am not a fan of calling someone out as a "rip" on a public forum unless my mother could tell it was stolen. Just bad form to point fingers and call names, imho.)
- Hey guess what, I didn't call anyone out, because you have no idea who I am talking about.dMullins
- Also, it's a blatant copy of their sub-page design, copy and structure. I contacted Quantum, and their site was custom made.dMullins
- You posted someone's website on a public forum. So many on here post "rips", very few really are.formed
