More publicity for our site at Spymac. Posts like this will get us shut down by mac zealots. I really wish they would stop posting the site address everywhere. :rant:

EDIT: The photo/post was deleted. Basically, it was another shot of a modified PC, with the addesses to this site and AquaXP.
do you remember who it was who posted it?
hey let em come more hits for us.
Yeah i thought publicity was a good thing.
Not at Spymac it's not. There are Mac elitists over there that email Apple about this site. How else do you think Jef's apps got stopped?
-godpunk
the spymac community hate windows and this site, isn't it?
Listen to Timan and myself when we say "Let them come".
We've been doing this longer than any of you guys, and it wasn't SpyMac that got Jef's apps removed by Apple...Apple has been watching this site long before SpyMac started sticking it's nose over here.
Within the very first few months of being open Apple indirectly attacked us through cease and desist orders to Stardock. At the time, Stardock gave in on a few issues, fought Apple on some of them. Since that original 'scuffle' Apple has known about us and watched this site.
SpyMac has gone on email campaigns before. At one point there was actually an organized email campaign to Apple to have their legal department shut us down. Apple didn't do it then, and has no reason to do it now.
We've always been pro-Apple/ pro-PC. While we push for things like getting Marklar (OSX on x86) released, and we copy the Aqua GUI, we are also responsible for more people switching to Apple hardware than probably any site other than Apple itself. Apple would do well to advertise here - they have several thousand new recruits just dying to switch. Several thousand? That's right - we have hundreds of lurkers, and our per hit count is high in unique hits for any site. that means we draw quite alot of new traffic, and that's alot of people curious about Apples interface.
Can SpyMac claim to bring over as many converts as we do? Probably not - they cater to the existing Apple user base. We are unique in trying to bring the best of both worlds together, and will continue to do so. We are free advertising for Apple and it's OS - a bunch of PC fanatics who by our participation here confirm that the Aqua GUI is superior to any other interface available today. And we haven't even asked for a referrel fee. Hows that for loyal Mac fans?
So let SpyMac come. There is no such thing as bad advertising. The more a site is talked about, the more people will come, either positive or negative.
In the words of Fat Albert, sometimes apple is just like school in summertime. This community helps Apple most likely more than the Switch ads ever could.
So... Why is the page now called Luna-soft?

Ack...
Because Aqua emulation is ghey?
Seriously, since Timan didn't expain, I will:
July 4th & 5th are huge days for people to hack and deface websites, kinda like National Script Kiddy Day. More sites are defaced and more DOS attacks are launched on these two days than the rest of the year combined.
Timan decided to beat anyone with a plan for Aqua-Soft to the punch and deface the site before they could. Thus the idea of Luna-Soft was born, and a few Admin controls later everone was looking at the Fisher Price GUI we all loathe. Good one Timan.
Now all you have to do is go into the User Control Panel for your account and change the theme back. It's just a joke. We do that sometimes. You know, joke.
DZ, you must understand that it is easier to blame Spymac than any others because of their hatred towards us.
I ask you, if THEY can't be our scapegoats, who can DZ, who can?

Yeah...I hear you. I just like SpyMac alot...they've got crazy people for members and some really funny content. As a community they're tight, and I respect that.
hmmm...who could be our new scapegoats? I see alot of hatred being thrown around over at Neowin. Maybe they would work?

I like it!
I think it's my fault it came to be 
Damn secrets and such.
Oh yeah, and those idiots at spymac are sad. I'd say more than 90% of them are blind zealots and all they can say is: Get a Mac! PC's suck! Windows Sucks! etc... Apple is too good at brainwashing their userbase 
MS may be pathetic in their business practices, but at least we still have a mind and will of our own.
