A short while ago, gargargar25 posted a message about another site stealing credit for our programs. The site's address is http://www.nprogz.tk or http://www.freewebs....progz/home.html (thanks tli'm)

The site takes credit for ALL of the programs that they have hosted (which we made). Here is a direct quote from the site:

every program on this site has actually been programmed, and fully created by ME, or friends of mine, which are trusted.

The program downloads that they offer are:

Here are all the programs, free to download an use! Thanks for coming to NProgz!

Buzzer Game Autoplayer - Plays the peskily hard Buzzer Game for you!
Snow Wars Autoplayer - Plays Snow Wars for you!
Lottery Auto Buyer - This buys Lottery Tickets for you!
Punchbag Bob Killer - This kills Punchbag Bob for you!
Scarab 21 Player - This plays Scarab 21 for you!
Ow3nd Refresher - This will find "Something Has Happends" for you!
User Buyer r3a - This buys stuff cheap from users shops!

The site does not offer any contact information so I went directly to the freewebs site and complained about them. Here is the email that I wrote to Freewebs:

Hello, This is Faraaz Sareshwala A.K.A. Hydrogen on Neocodex (http://www.neocodex.us). I am one of the administrators at Neocodex. The reason why I am issuing a formal complaint today is to bring to your attention a website that you are currently hosting on your servers. The websites name is Nprogz (http://www.freewebs....haelheysnprogz/ or Nprogz.tk). The genre of both of our websites is to create functional programs for neopets which automate things on neopets. Nprogz has clai'med to have made many of the programs that they have on their site themselves. However, through further investigation I have found that these programs were actually made by programmers at Neocodex. No credit to the original programmer has been given in any part of the webpage put up by Nprogz. In fact, Nprogz has taken ALL of the credit. Here is a quote from the webpage itself:

every program on this site has actually been programmed, and fully created by ME, or friends of mine, which are trusted.

Neocodex has not authorized this redistribution of its programs nor has it any affiliation with Nprogz. To be even more blatantly obvious, the program links themselves link to our forums where the programs can be found. You can find a program download page here: http://www.freewebs....rogz/progz.html

If you need access to our forums, we have set up a temporary account for you. Its user details are as follows:

Username: Freewebs
Password: Restricted

I believe that is all the information that is required to prove that we made these programs and Nprogz is si'mply taking the credit for them. However, if I have not provided enough information, please do not hesitate to contact me through email or on the forums themselves through Personal Messenger. Once again, my username on the forums is Hydrogen.

Thank you for your ti'me and all of your help. I humbly awaait your response.
Faraaz Sareshwala A.K.A. Hydrogen


I should get a response from them soon. Ill post the response I get when I do get it :lol: . Thanks to everyone that helped get this message sent out so quickly :p , you know who you are...

well I would just like to reinterate my idea of not allowing sites to post our progs at all, and have only private mems allowed access, or atleast regualr members have partial access.  This kinda crap is annoying.

if we want to take our programs off other sites, we would have to contact them...
  • they might not cooperate which means that we would have to shut them down unecissarily
  • we dont know all of the sites that host our programs as we just found out with nprogs
