Last one, I PROMISE!
I just realized that in my last post, I was far too kind to TrustyPig. I gave the TrustyPig admin too much credit, thinking that he was simply the victim of some freelance web developer from China that stole the site design from SmartyPig.
Why did I allow myself to swallow that ridiculously lame excuse?
The site had the exact same design as SmartyPig. The site has the NAME TrustyPig. It was a complete and total, absolutely blatant rip-off, pure and simple, right from the start. No one at TrustyPig is even remotely innocent in this situation. It was an utterly intentional attempt to subvert the popularity of the brand SmartyPig created and ride the wave to stardom (or at the very least, a relatively insignificant amount of attention). Regardless of what this “Costy” fellow claims, TrustyPig is nothing more than a pathetic shadow of what SmartyPig brings us. A poser. A worthless pretender.
I was a fool to think otherwise.
Maybe this won’t be my last TrustyPig post, after all (but I am going to shut up about it, at least for a little while).
