What's with the svbtle ripoff?

• RobotCaleb 14y ago
  What's with the only comments where I hear someone complain about a website looking like another website only ever asking about svbtle? What's so special about that site? Or in sites looking similar in the first place?

    I wasn't aware it was a proprietary design. I found the posterous theme on GitHub - https://github.com/lipka/svbtle-for-posterous https://github.com/lipka/svbtle-for-posterous

    I guess it's because a couple months ago svbtle debuted as an invite-only blogging thing, and a bunch of people got really angry and created an exact copy just to spite what the Org. guy was doing which was basically saying: if you see this design you know you're gonna be reading quality stuff.

    Dustin Curtis posts here. He made an unfortunate post announcing svbtle, which annoyed a few people. One of them made a svbtle rip off.
