    Yes, I completely sound like a kid that's whining. Because that's how I feel at the moment.

    I'm comparing Linux to this in the fact that it's Open, and it's free. My project is not novel in its function, it's novel in that it's Open Source where all the other implmentations are not. It's also novel in that you can clone it if you so desire.

    The site itself is not original. The fact that "Catster", "Birdster" or even "Hamster" could be running off this codebase, is.

    I know you'll probably see me as entirely wrong in these points, but I thought I'd put that out as food for thought.
