Playing devil's advocate for the less technically challenged out there. I think you might be flattered that he liked your stuff enough to want to emulate it. He's not stealing your design works, just using the code to achieve a similar web effect. I for one can't code for a damn so I use templates and sampled code to make things work on the web. I don't think its that big of a deal.

i heard google is also doing the same

I have seen about 5+ sites that use that same nav.

Its the danger of using a framework...
Because it is open source anyone can use it... but because they don't always know how to, they'll take it from someone else who has implemented it and equate that because it is open source, its partly a free ride.

nesting MooFx accordion navs isn't terribly ground-breaking. I'd be surprized if this is the last time you see a 'rip' of your idea, as it's a rather obvious evolution.

I don't want to make light of the situation or seem like a cock but 'gix' is Irish slang for poo, so Im reading your name in my head as 'eye-poo'...
Anywho, lovely work chief and don't sweat the ripper, its annoying as hell but take it as a compliment and keep up the good standard of work!
And apologies for the 'eye-poo' thing, I know it probably sounds bizarre!

your stuff is much better, really nice in fact. who cares if your site is being copied by some other guy with less talent?

Well. Hmm. Ive seen that type of nav before. BUT that looks like a very specific ripoff. Down to wording. He ripped you off.
The people that are like "yeah right i seen this 100 times" - you should link what you are talking about, that would make it constructive criticism rather than being kind of like.. superior.

i like the one that pisses you off much better than eyegix, the colours are so much easier than bright white on the eyes.

Wait do you guys really not think he is ripping it off? Or is this a weird joke?
It has the same exact everything?
AM I THE ODD MAN OUT?
I agree white hurts my eyeballs, BUT I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU.

oh its your site that is ripped in code or is this something you just noticed and stuff??
if your site is the eyegix, the white is tough on the eyes, perhaps try going for a warmer colour pallette.
i do love the functionality..moofx i liek that...

Get over yourself.
Take it as a complement.
Move on.

its more than just "borrowing" your code, they even used similar navigation
id be a bit pissed too, tbh

it's completely different, i mean ones on his server the other is on their server , balck white blah blah blah, did you actually write the ani code or are you just rippin someone elses work for the delivery of your images. seems fair that he do the same thing
- mimeartist0
at least you're being esoteric about it

Get over yourself! HAHA!
What a community! He just said email him if you feel like it. Big whoop!
However, your work is CONSIDERABLY better than his, he doesnt have a chance at scoring the same clients.
