<div class="IPBDescription">Am i allowed to do this?</div> I am going to open up my NS clan and the design of the forums here fit really great my page theme, so i ripped fully the design and changed the upper logo.

Please don't call me thief or annything becouse i am going to display a message before you acces the forums and credit www.natural-selection.org and/or www.unknownworlds.com for creating this great theme.

You can take a look <a href='http://jumpingjoda.funpic.de/board/upload/index.php' target='_blank'>here</a> (it's german <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> ).

Maybe some admins can tell me something about those copyrights which can be a problem.

    Bad move

    the proper proces to get the use of copyrighted items is to contact the individuals owning it (or representing them) FIRST! (aka PM Nem0)

    for now, I would sugest taking it down and contacting Nem0 for permision.

    On the Downloads page of the main Natural Selection site, at the very bottom is a (probably horribly out of date) downloadable Media Pack for creating fan sites. The text that follows it states:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->This media pack can be freely used and modified for one purpose: promoting and supporting NS and the NS community. Use of these images doesn't require a disclaimer, but can only be used in association with NS. Other use of these images in any way is prohibited.

    Under no circumstances can the images in the media pack, or any content in NS or on the NS website, be used in any other project or be presented as being created by anyone else.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I don't think borrowing our forum design should be a problem, but I'll ask if you're concerned.

    Everything is all right.
    I got the permission to use the NS.org forums theme, i just need to credit Comprox for the design.

    Thanx!

    There ya go. Always thought the NS team was pretty understanding on these issues. Though I bet the fact that it was going on an NS related site didn't hurt.

    You don't want to know the hoops I had to jump through to legally be able to put the PSU logo on a poster advertising a PSU event. (It took 1.2 years)

    Wizard, by PSU would you happen to mean Penn State University? I just so happen to be staying there for the summer.

    Yes it is Penn State.

    Are you there for the Governor's School? If so are you there for the IT part of it?

    Because I gave a tour of our satellite bay at Lockheed to the Penn State Governor's school students.

    Nah this is actually one of the nicer IPB skins out there. Most of them have huge intrusive images for everything, this one's nicer IMO. More minimalistic. The only problem is the white jaggies around the top icons, that and the fact that there's no alien skin <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I was on that gov school tour last year... pretty good. I especially liked the door leading to nothing up at the top. (to get on the crane thing?)
