Quake Website 'Pirated' From Former Host


THE INTERNET - Controversy rages on regarding the recent move of Todd's Totally Kewl Quake Page, described by 11 year-old webmaster Todd Morris as being "the l33test Quake site around," from its former server l33t.com to its new host, quakerulez.com. According to sources, Trapper, site maintainer of quakerulez.com, sent Morris a tempting offer to move to his site, with promises of better bandwidth and more hosting space.

"I can't believe someone would actually stoop so low as to try and steal one of our hosted sites," said Toodleoo, webmaster of l33t.com. "Todd's page was the best site on our server, right next to The Pingbot Shrine."

"I don't see what the problem is," remarked Trapper. "So I sent him an offer for space, so what? It's not like I forced him or anything. All I said was that I'd show him how to pick up chicks on IRC if he moved to quakerulez.com."

Todd's Totally Kewl Quake Page ScreenshotTTKQP is a quality Quake website dedicated to the latest in Quake developments, sporting useful information such as console scripting, Quake C programming, and level designing, all ripped from various websites across the Internet. The site even features helpful HTML hints for webmasters (as displayed in the accompanying picture). In-depth, up-to-the-minute news reports from the Quake community are provided courtesy of a link to Blue's News. In addition, the site also hosts the TOTAL33T QUAKE SITE Awards (which, incidentally, it has also won).

"WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY????????" admitted Todd Morris. "TRAPPER'S OFFER WAS THE BEST TING TO EVER HAPPENED TO ME SINCE I POPPED THAT AOL DISK INTO MY FLOPY DIRVE!!!!!!!!"
