How's this happening?

[cazzz1975]

Hey dabees, do you remember this happening about 3 years ago? The ed got the other site shut down

[cazzz1975]

but why would they copy this site?

[ChuckFickens]

Same post, same answers but allocated to different names!

[dotty.]

it was an advertising scam i think, selling adverts on a (seemingly) popular and well subscribed questions and answer site,

[dabees]

I do Dot, it's easily done. It seems like a new site that is stealing Q & A's to look busy and encourage more visits and ad revenue.

Well spotted Bobjugs. :-)

Looks like some clown is copying the site.

and they have the cheek to say at the bottom of the website that everything on their site is copyright!!!!!!

[vivandorron]

I hold the view that verooom is in breach of AB's copyright and also guilty of plagiarism.

Some thought that the chaos on here last night with the site falling over was due to these other people... on the other hand, it might have been simple server failure. Ed was on the case, what's the latest, Ed?
