Why do people copy FP?

[Deleted member 5665]

I noticed alot of the new promotion forums do.. I hate people who try to even copy FP at all.. Because I hate people that copys peoples hard work. Why do people do this I know some people who does this on the forum already and doing it now I just want to know why.

Because some people like failing.

They want to be like Forum Promotion, you know, 550,000 posts is attractive. :lol:

 

[Justin]

They have no better ideas AND OR a hobby.

Same here. There was this one person on my sports forum that had his own forum, and he copied everything I did. :rofl:

I'm working on my own version of promotion... much different than the normal copiers... so i do think people will try and copy me, but i don't care... i enjoy forums. I'll just go on their site and post my forum, and they will fail badly.. Mwahahaha

 

[Ascent]

So you guys would go as far as stabbing someone simply bcause they made their own forum look like a copy of another internet forum? Hmm.

Same can be said about breathing, people breath the same... yet, no one complains?!

It just gets on my nerves is all. I just don't like it at all.

I think people copy sites like Forum Promotion (here) because they see the success that Forum Promotion and sites like it are getting, and they think that by copying these guys they will have the same kind of success. Unfortunately, it does not work that way.

 

[Acorn]

Why do people copy something?

Because they are impressed by it, inspired by it and want to emulate its success and the qualities that impress and inspire.

You can steal the output of creative minds, but you can't steal the creativity. That's why almost all the copycats fail, and those that don't fail succeed in spite of copying, not because. They had something to add to the mix themselves and create a site that either improves on the original and/or is creative/effective in its own right.

This.

But seriously I think that people can't think up their ownideas and get mad so then they just decide to take a shorcut by copying FP. It's like cheating in school. It may seem good in short term but over time you gain nothing from it.

I would 😀

Honestly it's a promotion forum. If i make a promotion forum people will complain i am copying because i have reviews. So honestly it's not copyrighted, it's not fp's stuff, so why would it be copying if everyone has the ability to have it. As for the original stuff then well, it's fp's so why do i need to copy it?

But FP is not the definition of a promotion forum.

 

[David]

You can't define a promotion forum. FP is not the ideal look of a promotion forum. It's just one person's perspective (Fowler or Efc) of a promotion forum. People only copy FP because they assume a promotion forum will succeed because FP did.

Anyway, there are many promotion forums before FP opened. Again, this is just a perspective of a promotion forum; it's not a stereotype of a promotion forum.

 

[iGame]

I have seen many promotion forums with the exact same forums as FP what's the point?
