I really hate thieves...i really do...I hope that girl is forever shunned...you know i can forgive someone if they didn't know, or if they correct the problem...but she was just rude and claimed the pet as hers...she will NEVER be forgiven...not by me at least...I hope that by us shunning her, she will learn her lesson!

Alright, only two days after she did all this **** to me, I recieved an apology... saying she's sorry and she took the flynx down (but it's still uploaded to her little "site" because I checked) and she was jealous and blah blah blah...
I'm not really sure what to think of it. I mean, this is the person who said a lot of mean stuff about me when she didn't know I was listening, and then lied to my face about it when I made myself known...
I think I'll have to sleep on it... >-\/-<

Whatever, both her and the flamers can live with the guilt of torture. I know I couldn't, I commend you.

If your petz are special to you, you won't make Petz Player files for them and put them on your site for others to play with. I discovered last night the hard way that it's possible to copy the pet's info from the .ply file right off your site, because "SOPHIE" stole my dog, Whisper and put her for download, so now everyone's probably got a copy of her. What a mean, rotten thing to do! You are not alone, Cheetah. Way, _way_ back in Petz 3 days, when Silver's site with its forum and adoption centre was doing big business and there were sites which had their own favourite pets available as .ply files, we discovered that the pet files sometimes appeared in the player's Downloads directory along with any required .clz and .bmp files. The biggest hoo-hah happened with one of the famous sites of the day, Sara's site I believe, with her own very special Sniffy which she had as a player file online. I might have remembered the name wrong, but anyway, Sara nearly had a fit when she discovered that one of her arch enemies (if I recall aright -- I was always hazy about gossip) was parading Sniffy around the place. As Minibyte says, it was a bug that P.F.Magic knew about right from the start but didn't fix, and they should have included a warning with the player-file maker. That was a bug which P.F.Magic never sorted out when petz 4 came along, and I imagine that StudioMythos didn't bother with it either, although I don't use the P5 player. The way it worked seemed to be that if the pet had some particular kind of clothing on, I can't recall what exactly but I think it might have been hats, the player would correctly grab the .clz etc but also _incorrectly_ grab the pet. The solution, as I recall, is to not use clothing on your pet when you make a player file for others to play with. Having said that, as Minibyte says there is actually another way of stealing player pets, but I do not intend to explain that one because, personally, I love to play with player-pets at sites and there are too few as it is. I'm sorry I never was able to play with your Whisper. And I'm sad that you fell prey to the same kind of attack as Sara, and one or two others ( I think one was the owner of EPCPS for instance ) suffered way back then. The earliest mention I found of this problem was a message dated March 1999. Not all ply petz were showing up on other computers. The theory was that only petz wearing clothes/accessories were copied to the visitor's computer. Another post, from Abby of the The Petz Warehouse indicated that this problem was discovered during Beta testing of Petz 3 and PFM warned people not to make ply files with petz wearing accessories. That's right. The problem did emerge right back at the beta stage for Petz 3, so we're actually talking 1998 here; it was very bad of P.F.Magic not to either work on fixing the bug or make sure that there was a warning for everyone not to use pets that are personally important to them. Without player pets, though, sites wouldn't have been as much fun and we'd never have had the glorious phenomenon that was Wilbur the P3 pig I'm not really sure what to think of it. I mean, this is the person who said a lot of mean stuff about me when she didn't know I was listening, and then lied to my face about it when I made myself known... Cheetah, if I were you I'd simply not trust her again. I'd be friends with her and all that, because after all it's good to forgive -- but I wouldn't be able to trust her until she had proved herself worthy of my trust. Just my tuppence worth Carolyn

Mmm I think that people often go a bit OTT on stealers. as arkie said, its not like they murdered.
Before someone nicked all my breeds and hotlinked them. This caused my site to be shut down by the host as they had a strict non-hotlinking policy. I wasnt too happy so Emailed the person and asked them to take the breeds down. they did and apologised. theyd also taken graphics from a few other sites and people went WAY overboard with all the flaming instead of just asking to have it taken down. i told people the more they acted the more determined this person would be to keep it all up. they turned against me [sigh]. then it all blew over and 6 months later i mentioned a slight thing to do with stealing and she presumed i was talking about her and flamed me. arrr.
I then got hold of the password to her site, but thats another story ; )
Oh, and also. Like Carolyn said ,just never trust them again. If i know someones lied/stolen i always check thier stuff VERY carefully. wait, I do that to everyone anyway. haha. Liz = Paranoid

I agree with Carolyn. You should be her friend just not trust her...But I don't blame her for being jealous... Whisper is a gorgous dog...but that ,taking the dog from under your nose, was not the best way to deal with it...

Well she was rather stupid. Not that I'd steal in the first place, but say I was her, I'd take the pet, over and done with, but putting it up for DOWNLOAD? Stu-pid.

Means, if you've never done anything wrong in your entire life, sure! kill her for all we care, but otherwise, shut up unless you have something to confess?

Personally, after what Sophies done, I think she deserves to be cyber savaged. Let a rain of newbies fall down upon her! Yessum, alright. Shay up about all this **** now, all this 'She doesn't deserve it!' and 'Be nice to her!' because to tell you the truth, I think Cheetah has the right to hate anyone who steals from her. ; Do you know how many times she's been totally ripped off, stolen from, and hot linked? It actually got out-of hand. The ammount of times, I've heard someones stolen her breeds. And when it happens that many times, and she can still hold her fangs. Jebus, you might not take it as offensively, but I know Cheetah prides her Fynxies. (Darn it, I do, they're so sexay.) And so she should do. They're unique, and her own work. It looks nothing like other breeds I've seen. Let this Sophie bitch be hunted down and spat upon, 'cause I'm surprised Cheetah hasn't pulled out all of her fur. Thieves deserve to pay! You don't need to quack around, with putting copyright signs at the bottom of every page, you should damnwell know. It's common quacking sense, and apart from being illegal, it's also arrogant and disrespectful. Cheetah has had that about a million times, and she still puts up with it, she still forgives. I don't give a s*** that you lot think she should be forgiven, or that some people are being too serious, because it isn't fair for Cheetah - just as it isn't for us to slag off 'Sophie'. But at least she deserves it. Cheetah don't. And I wouldn't say, that Cheetah (or anyone else here who thinks Sophie should be cyber savaged) is being unfair, hell no. Sophie stole, she was extremely arrogant and disrespectful - jealous above all. Everyone wants to forgive her, when she was in the wrong. Some people think she should be eaten by Flobberworms, but when they voice up thats wrong. And before half of you go on insane lectures, of "I didn't say that!" or "That's not what I meant!" I don't want to hear it, 'cause that aint my problem. I would except an apology, but I wouldn't forgive her otherwise. I'd be completely behind Cheetah, if she wanted to send her 60 odd viruses. -flicks tail- Edit: Damned typos. x3
