Update: he actually contacted archive.org to delete the evidence. Take a look at the backup links if not working.
I haven't made a thread on communities copying us as that's expected when you are at the top. But the amount of copying is so absurd, and today I found proof the owner is forging evidence to hide it. I decided to document it for the amusement of people here and to show people that we are not the ones doing the ripping off since the copying is so blatant.
We recently started a Zombie Escape server. And 2 days after we announce it, they make a nearly identical post on their forums with the same picture and basically the same words paraphrased.

Now wait a second you say, their thread shows January 14th, and ours says January 27. But I remembered it didn't say that before.
Fortunately in the forum that he uses, like most forums, the threads are numbered sequentially. So if the last thread is 3 and you make a new one, the next one is 4. So the date of thread 4 can't be less than the date of thread 3.
Since their announcement thread is numbered 122, we can look at the date of thread 121. Then we know that thread 122 couldn't have been made before 121.

What do you know? It is dated January 29th. This means that the owner, Interlude, is trying to hide his blatant copying by forging the date on his thread. The date should have been equal to or older than January 29th, but instead he forged it to January 14th.
You can also use the same trick on the post number to show that he forged the times on the first 4 posts in the thread. But I am not able to get archive.org to archive post links, so he could have corrected that mistake by the time you see this.
And if you don't believe any of this you can look at their gameme.
Now I'm not saying we have a copyright on ZE, but the fact that they decide to release a ZE server 2 days after we do when there have already been ZE servers for over a year... AND tries to cover it up by editing the dates on his forum posts.
He also claims to have "mappers" which is actually 1 slavic hacker named "leviathan00". They do not have any original maps of their own. They are just ripping our protected maps which takes them days to recreate, when they could have actually hired a real mapper or try porting maps from Counter-Strike.
And to top it off, he also copied my Steam profile.
Seriously??? He couldn't even come up with his own Steam profile description?
