    You might remember when PureCallum posted the first beta of his Flash tool, Foundry Designer, onto FH a bit ago. Now it's evolved to be a fully integrated part of FH, and as a result got us front-paged on Bungie.net.

    I was exploring a few other Halo community sites (in particular, HaloSocial.net) when I found a topic called "Flash Foundry Designer!". However, the link was not to FH's page, as I would have guessed, but to another site, called K4F, or the Kill 4 Fun clan. (http://halo3k4f.clangrid.com/)

    Now, you have to be a member to see this, but their version of Foundry Designer (The Kill 4 Fun Halo 3 Clan Site) is exactly the same as PureCallum's, with one major exception. It removed all references to PureCallum. In the description, in the app itself. Quoting from their page:
    Whereas on FH's page:
    I got some reference pictures below. You can see that on the FH page, the Flash tool says:
    Code:
    http://www.freewebs.com/foundrydesigner/
    
    Foundry Designer v1.1.0
    
    Background Image from bungie.net
    
    Coding and design by PureCallum
    The K4F Flash tool has instead a blank space.

    Also a little off topic, but do we own HaloWiki.net? I was on the topic on HaloSocial, and one of the guys was said "The Forge Hub now own Halo wiki and as a result have removed the social and K4F from their friend of the site page. Please do not post any links to their site.". Confusing and muddling.

    Aha. That is most certainly a steal. Nice find.

    As for Halowiki, I have no idea.

    Looks like they're using an older version. Might have to do with it.

    Yeah, what do you expect? You know how many people stole line rider before it was finally taken up with nintendo?

    Great things get stolen. Charlie the Unicorn, line rider, internet things just get stolen. Nothing you can do I guess, but shrug it off. Chances are that that site isn't very popular, so they aren't gaining much by stealing it.

    Unless ForgeHub owns that program, and if they have permission from the creator, they can put it up there. I wouldn't say stealing if that was the case. Just following the same tactics.

    Doesn't look like they ever bothered giving PureCallum any credit.

    We own Halo wiki? That's epic. Can we turn it into a fascist dictatorship with strict censorship laws? PLZ PLZ PLZ?

    We may or may not own halowiki, that's completely up to the conspiracy theorists to decide.

    No Forge Hub does not own Halo Wiki, my guess would be Halo.Bungie.org owns it.

    That they stole the foundry designer?

    Honestly it wouldn't be that big a deal if they gave the guy credit for it would it?

    Maybe somebody should ask the person that stole it about it if it matters.

    They have stolen it. The bastards. He should have copyrighted it, though.

    That's true. That's the same thing as not giving the inventor of a toy product any credit though.

    I am the owner, designer and founder of K4F Kill 4 Fun. So you brainless children are accusing me of stealing right? Grow up you forum nerds, I stole nothing and I edited nothing. I followed a link from inside bungie.net to an ImageShack page so if you want to start calling me a thief without any proof then you know what you can suck on. Now I would have given credit had a name been there to add but there wasn't and now after you punks have talked your crap about me I will not give credit unless the maker contacts me and asks me to.

    You insulted me, my site and community so don't expect anything from me. I didn't edit anything I just uploaded it to my site as I found it.

    It is easy to tell what fools you children are as you assumed and claimed that I stole. If the author had any sense he would have copywrited his work as I do with all of mine.

    I don't expect any of you to be men and apoligize for your unfounded and unproved accusations and this just serves to show what small minded people you are. Has the author stated I stole it? Has the author contacted me or my site? No, so it is about time for you to admit how wrong you are.

    Now I know I am using the old version I shall be on the hunt for the new uncopywrited version so thank you for your help.
