Honestly guys, I found her avatar all over photobucket as well if you search "winx club" icon_sad.gif
I had no idea she made it herself.

I thought nashiko made it.

I didn't knew that it was on Photobucket too! icon_eek.gif

I never thought they would steal my Avvie and put it on Photobucket..
I had a site where my avvie was on. So I think they stole it from that one. But stupidly, my site is gone for a couple of months.

Even if they found the picture on photobucket, they know that it was made by someone else on photobucket so it would be stealing still. They should at least give credit to the account.

But nashiko is a famous icon maker in LJ, I highly doubt she'd steal your avatar. I think that nashiko made it.

I have no idea, so many winx avatars are all over the internet it is so hard to track down the original owner, i think that if people didn't want their avatars to be stolen they would put their names on it or site credits so if you have a name on it that at least tells people you made it and I know it can be edited out but maybe if you put your name on a couple, idk..

Wow and yeah I do see it everywhere. Did she really make it? Well to tell you the truth I believe May

I remember seeing that avatar a long time before I joined this forum...I've seen it a lot actually...

I agree Abby. Thats why I try to put my name or my site's name on the avatars I make.

Whoah! Your avatars are all over the net! Except you don't get popular to it because someone else use your graphics, Poor you...

I agree with Daphne,
That Flora avie is extremely popular, I have seen it all over the net.
I believe it has been up for about 2-3 years now? I remember in a winx guild I was in
the Flora used that avie for her council chat and that was about 3 years ago.

I remember a while back I saw that avatar on the Winx Club livejournal community...back when it was open to the public. I was pretty mesmerized by it, it's designed great and there's that animation too!
Unfortunately, some kids and strangely some adults don't understand the problem with stealing graphics like that...it's difficult when you want to show the best in your graphics but you can't because you have to be afraid of theft.

Some adults? Which adults stole graphics? That's really pathetic. Being adults, they should understand that plagiarism is wrong.

Posted by: Hirondelle Aug 20 2008, 5:48 PM

Nah, it's been awhile so I can't remember specific ones, but I've heard of some for other fandoms on like "Shame lists" that just have no regard for others. It is realllyyy wrong. They're usually pretty strange and rude people too <<; Fortunately, there hasn't been an adult to do this in the winx club community to my knowledge, but you never know. D:

that's the thing... you never know...

Posted by: humbu111 Aug 20 2008, 7:01 PM

Is it the animated one? That is honestly among the best avi's i have ever seen! It is so awesome, I couldn't stop looking at it for like 10 seconds. Its almost hypnotising. If it isnt that one, than nevermind.

Posted by: Music123 Aug 21 2008, 7:32 AM

I feel really sorry for you icon_sad.gif
