Ya this is infringing on our copyright as you did not give any credit. Forking our repository is an easy way to do that.

Bruh, I made a video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9vSeRMM4CV8

[cobaltt7]

I know you made a video. I know that's a rickroll. You still need to give credit to us as you stole most of our website without copyright.

[OftenUser]

Alright, just please give me the repository link incase I haven't already.

[OftenUser]

At least I have differences like adding gradients or not as much stuff because I didn't have much to say.

[OftenUser]

I'm sorry ;(

@RedGuy12

Sorry if my work looks the same as yours. I really loved your layout and may have used the same one. I'll be sure to give credit on mine.

Maybe a collab in the future? No hard feelings :)

What do you mean "accidentally" you had to have gone to the repo, selected all the code, copied, pasted, changed some css variables and links, and done. That's not an "accident". You can't just do that and call it an accident. You can fork the repo, if you want, you could ask the creators of scratchaddons.com if you can use their code and negotiate that, but you can't just say you "accidentally" copied scratchaddons.com verbatim.

In addition to that, you tricked the 13 people who starred this repo, thinking that you wrote this code. That unfairly gives you the credit for writing this code, and it takes away from the proper credit being given to people like @RedGuy12 and others for creating the original website.

[OftenUser]

Oops! My bad. I'll tell you what really happened. I went to your website, opened Dev Tools and clicked Sources... just because, it's a real thing. Besides it doesn't look "exactly" 100% like the code for ScratchAddons' repository called website-v2, or if that's even the right repository for the current Scratch Addons website. Sorry if I've written some of the apology wrong as if I never know what I'm talking about, I took that out now. Sorry for casuing something so controversial.

At least I changed some of the code for the very bottom of the footer, so it now says:

© 2022 MWB | Layout inspired by scratchaddons.com

I hope that's better.

[OftenUser]

Yet another difference: You said website-v2 was made using Hugo, well… mine wasn't, so that's why I even decided to use Sources from Dev Tools. 😐

[OftenUser]

I literally never like… thought this kind of day would ever come to me. 😲 😓 😨

[Explosion-Scratch]

The layout was not inspired, it was copied, as were the styles, even the phrasing and text for most of the website.

it's not mine it's @Hans5958's

Besides it doesn't look "exactly" 100% like the code for ScratchAddons' repository called website-v2,

Because website-v2 is made with Hugo, then compiled down to a full raw static HTML page.

or if that's even the right repository for the current Scratch Addons website.

It is.

You can't copyright our code. And it's not inspired by,

Hugo just generates the raw HTML from various HTML and Markdown files we provide to it.
