the neocities user katipan stole my entire website layout and diary page. i unfortunately made a lot of the graphics myself too... a lot of the graphics took hours and was a lot of work. is there anything i can do about this? how has anyone else dealt with this before? there is no way to contact them and their profile leads to their site automatically.

hey there!, i remember my code being stolen once and blew up in an emmbarsing way. I dont think the situation was approached well here is katipan being called out openly and put on the spot but then again i do not think you can reach out to them in private?... i would say that the account will be abandonded soon most likely as people who simply steal code give up with the site. I think you could try to
see if you can get a hold of them and tell them how you feel and if that does not work then i am super sorry that your site has been stolen :( it really sucks and it does become frustrating.
i was going to suggest reporting but i dont think that would work? best of luck though :(
not sure! its so frustrating :( theyre using my old about layout for their own. i just hope theyll unlock their cbox one day
yeah there’s no way to approach them since they made their neocities profile redirect to their website url and the cbox is closed. even if aspects or elements of code were being stolen i would be less upset. my diary graphic being stolen sucks though bc i made it myself and even purchased elements of the graphic to make it.
i’ve seen elements of my site on other sites and usually it doesn’t phase me. i know a lot of people on neocities share graphics and offer resources and inspiration. in that way neocities is a community. BUT i do believe in this scenario it’s art theft of an art project that i poured my heart into. just wish i could do something about it but i guess there isn’t
ruralrose and poemdoll i searched their website (definitley a she) she was trying to see how layouts work, not stealing them
