SocketStudioson What happens when you rip off a site but forget to host the JS yourself

Sorry, forgive my ignorance (I'm a designer not really a developer) but are you saying I should host all my JS myself?

As for the fall back to a working site should JS be disabled, or the scripts fail to load you're entirely right of course. There is a lot I could still do to the site, but it serves no real purpose and was largely just an experiment so isn't very high on my to-do list at the moment.

Now this guy says he has never seen my site and any similarities are coincidental.

I don’t believe him but he wasn't stupid enough to leave any JS on my server so I can't do much about it.

Thanks for that.

It was a 'concept' site largely for my own amusement (and to teach myself a little bit of js). I do have a private portfolio site that shows more of my work and has no javascript in it at all.

Right enough. Too late now though.

Can't do anything about the text. That's in the HTML which is on their server. I just have the JS file that controls the image loading.

haha, i'm not sure if that is sarcasm or not. i'm a designer that dabbles in code and that was my first attempt at JS. it works but i'm sure it is probably a disaster.

Where would the fun be in that?

A little backstory: They stole my site (socketstudios.com) which showed up on my analytics as they for got to remove it. They also left the contolling javascript file on my server. I modified it to load images of dogs that have no idea what they are doing.
