I don't think you did a bad thing. People take others people ideas all the time. I like the idea, and your project looks like a decent one. Just take a look at that Sign up button, looks pretty bad in Chrome!
I recently switched themes and that background didn't match well. I also found a similar problem with the captcha on signup, which I fixed. Thanks for reporting that!
Now "Sign up" looks better. One more thought: I think that you should try to make that homepage looks better. Maybe different image, or even slider, and better order in general. It looks a little messy, like you created it in five 5mins or so.
Just because of the design DeskAnything leaves better impression on me.
Making your homepage better would definitely improve the general impression of users.
Yeah, I struggle with design. I've been working on that page, but don't have anything to push yet. Thanks for the advice, it doesn't fall on deaf ears. I've been thinking of offering a trade in hours...maybe post to craigslist.
