Would you suggest 28 months of not communicating with customers followed by a closed beta under NDA and everyone has to deny the existence of it
@AnthonySmith It seems like you hate them too much to judge them fairly.
I call a spade a spade, perhaps it is a weakness of mine as not everyone is thick skinned enough to handle it, there is no hate though, probably a bit of frustration.
Interested #329 invoice no
I've activated your account, thanks for your interest and we appreciate feedback once you've tested VirtEngine.
VirtEngine has been pretty much ready 2-3 months ago, and we have simply been improving and adding on additional features in this time.
The project delaying us would be our Automated Launcher project which aims to allow you to install everything into a production environment in less than 10 minutes which includes installing OpenNebula, Ceph / LVM storage, configuiration of both platforms to operate together, downloading images etc.
The automated Launcher also handles licensing and bills the provider, once that project is complete launching Virtengine becomes a breeze.
@DETio , im sure you must consider the constructive critisism by @AnthonySmith positively. Infact i feel it to be a good sign for hosting industry that such nice products are being launched , plus the fact that we have LEB where we can have a fair commentry from Experts who know what to expect from a product of this class.
Take WHMCS for example, the product is fantastic. But has been nightmare in a lot of cases. Reason, it seems it was launched premature.
The people ( like me ) who are future clients for @DETio must be able to understand what they are getting and expert reviews are very important.
Neverthless, This is a great product ... something i was looking for and i feel pricing too is very nice.
I'm a designer and so for someone who's hardwork has been ripped before this is disturbing. Is there a reason why you ripped Kyups design elements down the typography, font-size and color? Didn't you guys also hijack ip space? I messaged kyup and they said they had no affiliation with you.
Kyup: https://kyup.com/one-click-images
Screen:
Ouch. Same words.
We've put this up temporarily while we are designing the rest of the website (due to lack of resources to dedicate to the website), surely not ethical. We can't do much other than offer apologies and ensure that we will be putting up our own designs shortly.
I'm afraid that lack of time is not a valid excuse for plagiarizing someone's website. The UI would not have mattered much as long as functionality is present. You put yourself I a bad spot by doing that, which does not help when you're already under a lot of heat.
really.. that's the best you can do?
So I assume you will be offering financial compensation then to Kyups before they take you to the cleaners as you have essentially admitted to theft publicly?
There's no intellectual property stolen, Just public design inspirations - for example the icons placed inside are not owned by Kyup and they are designed by other companies for public use, the rest is just a box with borders and text placed underneath.
Remove copyrighted work ASAP, do not wait for DMCA takedown request.
Wow. First you STEAL stuff and now you are actually arguing that it's just some box with a border? I tell you something: Every design is made out of some boxes and borders, it doesn't give you the right to STEAL it.
We are already working on it.
lol what a joke.
For 2 months you couldn't fix it?
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the inconvenience, it's fixed now.

How about now?
haha
Sweet Jesus.
You didn't change it because of lack of resources but you were able to put up new content in 10minutes? Hmmmm
..and you'd think he'd try to let the thread cool a little rather than announcing "OK we took down that stuff that was someone else's IP". The arrogance is right up there with adult hosting service providers.
Well, that escalated quickly.
We work quick under pressure.
We can't do much other than offer apologies and ensure that we will be putting up our own designs shortly.
Seems to be a legit reason to stay away from their product.
As you wish.
Your arrogance and schmuck responses aren’t funny. Personally I think you should be banned for this. I'm going to say this once, any company who decides to use virtengine software I will never give you a dime #grabyourwallet. They could give me $10k worth of credits and they could just shove it. I'm going to keep my personal services with people who have brains to run an operation like buyvm or ramnode and many other providers here. I'm not going to end up like those virtkick customers where my provider goes through a pandemic because of the incompetence of a software company .
As a designer who puts hours and days of passion into my art this is a ridiculous statement to make. This is a slap to the face, you think you can get away with stealing designers hardwork, take shortcuts and then make a profit out of it without any repercussions. I have worked with hosting providers who have lawyers on retainer and if you think there was no property stolen oh you are greatly mistaken. If I were siteground who has enough revenue to destroy you with litigation, what I would do is put Det.io out of business along with any subsidiaries like megasysm. Your lack of moral ethics and judgement not only puts your company at risk but also all of your clients and partners who host on your software. When you can't pay your bills and your operations gets shutdown what happens to those clients? Sitegrounds owns kyup and you literally admitted that you stole the design and now are backtracking. Thats not how it works.
And you even copied their CSS, within 5 seconds of inspecting elements even someone without HTML/CSS experience could tell. Code is absolutely PROTECTED by copyright laws.
No. This is blatant plagiarism.
@DETio Get your house in order before you post here again. We have banned people in the past for exactly this, the fact that you fixed it so quickly was your saving grace.
I also suggest you stop being so smug and arrogant, you're a real person, not just the business. Act like it and you'll get a much better response from the community.
