Reminds me of a feud we had with a website called ChampionSelect.net

Back then my brother and I were huge LoL fans and we decided to build a fansite for the game.

You can see it here (it's no longer active):

We used Twitter bootstrap for our UI and that other site whined that we copied their style. When they were just using the default styles.

I used to see that site a lot, then I mained Nidalee and hit plat l0l she gives no fs about counters

Nevertheless, funny story, I realized it was just bootstrap and it looked quite decent

Hey small world. I heavily regret not working on the site more, but when Lolking came out with tons of funding from the Curse network, I figured I couldn't compete against a team of programmers and designers working on it full time. I could only work on the site for a few hours in the weekends at best.

My brother and I are currently working on a similar site for another game, this time putting into practice all the good things I've learned along the way. We won't quit this time.

... Really? Did they realize they were using default bootstrap? That's pretty dumb of them.
