@zen thanks for dropping by. I just said was not impressed and the issue was resolved. I thought it was rip off since even the order of the themes were the same, it was a misunderstanding. I run a small site here, smashing magazine is popular website, it takes a lot of effort to write and research. Its not wrong to defend yourself.

I am closing comments.

Dude, I like your guide to the top wordpress themes but its pretty pathetic that you are laying claim that someone else is copying you. Top site reviews, top lists and these types of reviews benefit the community and if someone else provides a review with similar sites then wahts the problem. Its not like you own the right to praise certain themes over others. You have a good site so just chill and dont ruin your image by complaining like this. You’re only making smashing pages look better as they responded politely and respectfully.

@Sean sorry your post was caught by Askimet as spam. You mean trying to defend my own work and research is a shady attempt? I been working on it for more than a month. But you are welcome to your opinion. I am not the kind person of person that looks to get attention using cheap stunts thats why I wrote a short post.

@vitaly lets just say there was a misunderstanding, on my part I don’t want to turn this thing into a flame war.

@Arpit: well, we’ve been posting such “updates” previously - take a look at our fonts section, but also on our tag “wordpress”. If we find something useful we try present it immediately.
