I noticed this a while back.

I wouldnt mind our posts being reposted if it showed the correct user names and referenced the SCS forum.

Any ideas?

That is freaking weirdo.
SCS - are you keeping an eye on these forums or the information being reposted on other peoples sites...Kinda freaky... Time for login code access before you can view the forums.

We've seen at least half a dozen of these faux-forums under different domain names over the last couple years. It appears to be a search engine link grab, but nothing more nefarious than that.

Most of them are a static copy of these forums at some point in the past and then don't update after that.

April, the problem is that once you've posted something online it's no longer under your control. Pretty much anyone in the world can grab it and do whatever they want with it. Learn to live with it, or be much more careful about what you post.

I saw a few others as well. The extra page mirrors have been handy when websearching.

I dont consider it a problem that what we post is no longer under our control. Its a given. It would just be nice if that first link had our usernames correct:)

Eh. Apparently in a few of those other copies i'm a very attractive female. In any case, i'm certainly much better looking there than in real life. I'm ok with it. ;)
