Recently there has been some posts in Digg linking that Pligg steals Digg v4 style etc.

One more attempt at http://digg.com/tech_news/Forget_Sup...gg_clone_rocks

Unfortunately these comments are made by you know who - Ahem.. inboxnews (a former developer of Pligg and the author of a competing digg clone superGu - which has been just a millions words and screenshots so far and for past 8 months it has not made a single progress)

I did not understand why an OSS author would feel jealous of another OSS project and create such stories. Very bad of him and we should try stop him.

Recently he created stories of his project getting sued by Digg but since it was proved wrong - I think he gets agitated and indulge in such activity.

You haven't even seen the best part yet. Hopefully more to come soon.

Why would someone behave that way - mentally retarded or personality problems, we all should take action to call that user a spammer at Digg (but that too will not help - he will again register with a different name probably as 3Dkiller itself and continue his work)

I think I will get a notable blogger like Arrington or a popular OSS specialist to write abt this - only that will teach him a lesson.

I someone could not write a code - they should just sit mum and not try to disturb others.

I dunno what exactly is his plan or is he too jealous of the $1000 drive and his project not making even a single penny (he claims he pays many in $ for getting the project to next stages)

Now I knew what are the future plans of him as he mentioned in his site.

I think I'm officially just confused now...

seems to be the cool thing to do, leave a project and then try to ruin it when it does better than you... referring to issues with phpizabi, great software.

Hope this doesn't go anywhere..

I'm just confused by the posts, he did complete his project it seems.
You can't do all projects for Free..

Now I am confused over "referring to issues with phpizabi" - who did refer?

And phpizabi - is a great software - i agree, it has all features of a social networking software except what we have - rating content. And good that it is a popular OSS software too.

"Why would someone behave that way - mentally retarded or personality problems"

LMAO... like KB said... you have NO idea how right you are! You'll be amazed.

This is in the off-topic forum, but still keep it clean. No flaming or trash talking of anyone, whether they're a part of Pligg or not.

thanks
