This is an argument about this new club, Ground Zero, in which the owner copied several elements of the MCLADA site, and even used atleast 2 pages of text EXACTLY except for changing the name. Here is how it went down.

OK WHOA.
"This page will contain a listing of all Ground Zero events. These include anything from city cruises, car shows, website car competitions, to drift show off events, drift tourneys, and other events.
Website-based car competitions will be held, using the game's photo mode (gamer takes a pic of his super-fly ride, which is uploaded to R* Social Club, where it can be downloaded and hosted at a site such as http://www.photobucket.com.) A voting poll will be set up with each entry, and the winner gets a prize(s) such as money or an exotic car."
Hmm, sound familiar?? Maybe b/c that is verbatium off of the MCLADA site!?!?! Except from the name of the club, everything else is exact.
Several other pages have been copied and "tweaked" directly from my site. Major fail in my book. If you wanted to use aspects of my site, that's fine, but ask first. Then i would have said sure. But since youve stolen directly from my community's site, GZ has lost all of my respect. Maybe another time.

Busted how? I've typed out every page and until now i havent even checked out your site, lol you just copied that off your own page, because first off my page doesnt even mention anything about drift offs because were not a drift car club, ok we are now but thats a branch, and ive never said drift tournaments either because until today a branch of it was just added, and evne then nothing is mentioned about drifting except under the drift section. and copy and tweaked? I've sat up all night thinking of what to write and type, too me the only that even resembles your page is the way the photos are put into the page, But forget all the talking, I'll just wait till the game is out to show you
Kubmir
actually, i checked... and the words on the photo page were exactly the same. Not a word was different.
But all the rest seemed different.
Its gonna be hard to convince someone you didn't copy it when it's the exact words.

Thats the thing, I'm not really trying to convince anybody of anything, Its the internet and I honestly don't care if someone thinks otherwise. So from this post on, If its anything negative don't even post in here
MODNAR11
It doesn't matter if you don't care, that is plaguerism so obvioulsly MCLADA will care.

New Page, Anything else that needs to be said (between me and pat rat?) should be said thru messaging, leave all the other **** that isnt talking about the game, how to join, or similar out of the thread

Since people cant seem to stop talking about even when asked to stay on topic in this thread, im closing it.
Lol, 0wnd. Kept lying to himself, claming he had typed it all by himself (with the help of the Copy and Paste feature!!) lol
Just thought id share this for a few laughs, and then we can move on.
