The Qhimm parody site is at http://www.qhimm.cjb.net/ . Go check it out. And Qhimm, please don't yell at me. Lol. I just love your site so much, I needed to parody it.

Another weird parody is at http://www.yankovic.org/ . It is a parody of Yahoo! :)

I don't mind parody, as long as you keep a very clear distinction of what is parody and what is real. That site has mixed material and even links back to my own site on several places. We wouldn't want visitors to associate your site as Qhimm's own, would we?

Which brings me to the next topic. You seem to have reversed the names at the bottom, you cannot claim general copyright since you based it off my original site without explicit permission from me. A more extensive copyright notice is in order, as it looks now you are the creator and I just made a little parody page.

I'm not terribly bothered by it, but it's best done right.

But Yankovic.org looks almost exactly like yahoo. Yourmom.com looks like yahoo but smaller and kinda butchered. I like to keep the layout pretty much the same when making a parody.

My bad. I had the wrong address. Click on the link again.

Itanium: Please don't be angry, but I don't see any sense in that site ... I mean, the outfit is 'stolen' - you have just added a blinking 'PARODY' symbol and edited some text - am I wrong or is that all? If you would have changed the source code, so there were some funny apps ...
But what you have done is a simple 'up-dated' Qhimm-Site. So if the links and the Source are the same, we also could visit Qhimm's site for what we can get on your site ...

Just think 'bout that...

It may be pointless at the moment but I have just added more savegame editors like FF7ce and FF8che as well as the compiled garden. I am going to add more later. So, uhh, yeah.

Mmmm.   :-?  :z  -_-  :isee:   :-?

I have to be honest, I did not see any parody on the site.  It is just the same as qhimm's site.  You should add funny stuff to it.

Sigh... not exactly what I meant with "a more extensive copyright notice". And there's far too much confusion as to who made the site, what it's based on, is this the real Qhimm or what?

From the direction this site is taking, I feel I have to object to a few things. First of all, it's not a parody site. There's nothing remotely funny about it. Visitors are more likely to think "whoa, I've somehow entered a parallell universe". They can easily go through the entire site thinking that it's real. And now you've added other programs to the main list, which is intolerable. People would think I made them!

If you just want to make a useful site, please make your own instead of "experimenting" with my design.

Okay, so I have to:

#1. List the creator of each program.

#2. Make it clear that it is a parody site and not the original.

Just keep posting and telling me what you want changed until you are satisfied. I don't mean to be any harm Qhimm.

hehe i was gonna say.... thats not funny.....

my advice is similar to qhimms.

make your own layout, trash the 'parody' concept, or make it funny.

What is something funny that I should add? I don't know enough about Joey to make something funny about him.  :wink:

Well, at least it lookss proper in the eyes of the Copyright God. Now I'm beginning to question what the site is, though ^_^

Final note: have you tested the features of FF World Editor, or are you just quoting what's on his site? You might want to.

hmm.... its still not much of a parody....  

btw: what would you guys think of me releasing my site on my server, even if it is on a 56k. do you think it will be too slow?

darkness if you give me the files i can run it off a server i detup at school. hehe since they never turn the cpus off i'l just do a "little" regediting and make it so the cpu can be turned off except physicly. then it'll be on a cabel server with little or no downtime
