Someone has created an Imgur clone and has malicious intent. imgur.co != imgur.com

The site is here. As you can see, it uses a similar logo and tries to pass it off as imgur.com. As far as I can tell, this site has nothing to do with imgur.com.

Its whois information (part of which I pasted below) says it's registered by "Advanced Logic Labs." A two day redditor named logiclabs has posted a number of imgur.co links.

"So what?" you ask. Read this thread.

I guess people like ads, and lack of competition... who knew?

People don't mind ads (OK, some really hate them, and block them with adblock), and deception is not the same as competition. Logiclabs, if you want to make your own image hosting service, fine. Just call it something different. A knockoff isn't competition, it's fooling people into using your service.

You mean like how imgur.COM started putting ads on the site once you got a lot of users? The oldest trick in the book for any business.

You mean generating revenue to (try to) cover operating costs? Yup.

The layout of imgur.co is completely designed from scratch. Check the images/code yourself. Your site was not "ripped off"... just the design source for inspiration.

So you didn't copy and paste, but you still ripped it off. They're nearly identical.

This whole situation is seriously WTF. I don't know what's wrong with some people.

The solution to this problem? Easy, bookmark this link. Every day, go there and downvote everything. If he just gets downvoted, maybe he'll close shop and just go away. See Edit #2.

MrGrim can also take action, he's registered the imgur trademark.

Edit: Trademark link broken, removed. Search for it here.

Edit #2: Apparently Reddit may lock you out of voting, or make it appear as if you've voted, but not actually count the votes if you do this. It's also perhaps bad rediquette. If you disagree with imgur.co, maybe just downvote the links as you see them instead.
