Firstly, I have removed the ink from 'your' thread, that was insensitive of me, I apologise. Although somebody has quoted the link in their pointing out my error!!
However, I have not set out to try to out do you, or rip you off. Simply to help people fill in a few gaps in their icon sets.
Your icon set is really nice. Nice one for sharing your work with us all. There was a long wait for the second icon pack, but everyone was patient and when it came I think everyone was pleased... but I personally was only 90% satisfied with the contents (not in quality, but is the completeness of the set - quality was top stuff). You only have to read your own thread to see that there are quite a few people who have a few icons outstanding to 'complete' their icon sets for popular programs. (Personally I think it is impossible to 'complete' a set as there will always be an icon that somebody still wants.) People still seem to post on there almost daily to request something...
You make it quite clear how you are a busy man, I can completely understand as I wouldn't have time to 'do all that you do', as a hobby (or do you make living out of this...?). I have waited and waited for the next update but you seem tied up in other things, which also look quite nice too. So I decided to complete my own set of your famous style of icon.
I wouldn't know where to start with the other things you do, or that a lot of the people on this forum get up to, it does impress me. Actually, I'm a little bit hooked on browsing this forum because of the things people are doing with their phones. I wouldn't want to criticise or negatively comment on anyone's hard work as most of it is beyond my capabilities. Likewise I don't like the way some people keep on requesting things, whether it is an icon, an app or something of the like, and sometimes they seem to do it impatiently. I had requested on your thread, but maybe you only do icons for your friends, but I will not repost and insist on you doing them for me.
No, instead I thought I'd have a go at completing your icon set myself, and as I could see that a lot of other people were missing the odd icon or few, I thought I'd try and help them complete their set too by posting a half decent template (maybe until your next set comes out when they can change them back to your icons, but their choice).
Anyway, this way people don't have to wait (if they don't want to), and the odd program that might not ever get an official icon can be created as required and still match the set.
As for you removing all of your recent projects from the forum and making me look like I am ripping you off - please, I am not doing this at all. I don't want credit for creating this template, I do not ask for donations, I don't really want to do requests either. I just wanted to help a few people to make their phones look nice and tidy.
It would be good for the forum if you could reactivate your posts. 'People like me' really can't get near people like you when it comes to knowledge of doing all of this stuff, the best I can do is crop a couple of images in Photoshop and share my effort with people. I am a taker without the knowledge/time/ability to give much back.
I think you are over reacting somewhat with your actions (I won't say that you are being childish, but some might). I am a bit surprised at how you handled this. I would encourage you to keep up the good work, it is interesting to see yours and others developments, and with all the time you have spent doing all of that it would be a bit of a waste of time.
Lastly, I apologise to everyone who this has effected, in the other posts being taken down. What can I say - I was just trying to help...
