ECF Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I only see one red x on the index page next to the twitter logo. Looks like it should be a STEAM logo. Nice looking site though. I see you went with your own custom panel. We hate to lose a client but I like the look of it. We hope you do well with the new changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickPuppy Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 game-servers.com, that name sounds familiar for some reason. Oh that's right it is a knock off of the largest GSP in the industry. Sad dude really sad. Why not just copy their web design and complete the rip off altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthservers Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 How is it a rip off? Look at the image in your signature, what does it say on it? "Game Servers" And that goes for everyone in the industry. They are creating a brand around the name of a service. What if a web hosting company named themselves "web host"? In an industry were there is almost no brand loyalty what so ever, why not shoot for a high traffic domain name instead, sure makes sense to me, but I guess time will tell. Do you all remember gameservers.net, they ran for multiple years in competition to gameservers.com. I do not understand why more companies would not try to directly compete with gameservers.com, they have the most customers and probably some of the worst performance. Anyways not trying to get into a debate here, I have seen the immaturity spiral out of control too many times on these forums and I have no desire to be part of it. Let's just keep the negative comments to ourselves please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad dude really sad. Why not just copy their web design and complete the rip off altogether If I recall correctly, clanservers.com (originally what gameservers.com was marketed/started as) purchased gameservers.com somewhere around 2000-20001, and rebranded and began selling gameservers counter gameservers.net which was already in the business and branded as gameservers.net since 1997 or before. So you kinda put yourself in a peculiar spot, as you'd have to point that same finger at gameservers.com themselves to push your point. He is just doing the same thing all the gameservers.* domains have done, the term isn't trademarked so all is good and fair. If it truly is a 'ripoff' the customers will note that quickly anyhow...they always do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpgservers Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Brad, ignore the resident self-purported business genius and I think it's a damn fine idea. Hell, look at the name I ran with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickPuppy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think I will change my domain name to Velocity-Servers.com or I might try Primary-Target.com, what about XFactor-Servers.com, wait if I am going to rip someone off I might as well go with gameservers.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever heard this old saying; “Sometimes it is better to remain quiet and let others think you are ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” More like a minor gramatical error and thanks for pointing that out. It wouldn't be proclaimed because you haven't stated it, merely acting it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Who cares" now that's the attitude to have. If more people cared then disreputable behavior like this would not be tolerated. I can understand being indifferent but to give someone praise for their unethical actions. I have more contempt for those that don’t care than I do for StealthServers.

What is the number one excuse used by unethical people that want to justify their despicable behavior, "Everyone is doing it." I have read so many posts in this forum about website content being pirated. Some of the same people posting praise for the actions of StealthServers were outraged when web content was used without permission. Like I said, why not just go to the Gameservers.com website and steal their design. If you can’t understand why this is wrong then I will never be able to explain it to you.
