Copied forum or something else?

Post » Sat May 12, 2012 1:20 am

I tried looking for an old thread on this forum today. I remember this thread contained some useful info and I tried looking for it through the search command of this forum. When I didn't find it, I googled it. I found the thread I was looking for but in a different forum and the people who were suppose to be having the discussion on that other forum are completely different ones. So now I'm looking at a post I know I made and it's designated under some username I have never seen before.

Does anyone know how is this possible?

Here's the link: http://www.gamesas.com/blades-fights-and-assassins-t48850.html

It's a sort of automated stalker service so that we don't need real ones.

Good to know that something is being done about this. If the creator of the website used slightly more believable usernames/avatars and spell check, it would look pretty legitimate.

Ah, so 'gamefallout' has struck again...

Now it's evil twin 'gamesas' is seeking vengence.

Funny how when it was 'gamefallout' it gave me 3 pictures of these ladies that I was "supposed" to be :rolleyes:

at least two of those "member's" pictures are Indian actresses... i suppose it is not new for people to use other people's pictures, though.

You know its not real, most people don't use their real pics on forums.

They want to say whatever the hell they want without being recognized.

Haha, Othor the troll has returned. And I'm glad Gstaff has noticed, that site is a hotbed of viruses i'm sure.

I hope Bethesda's Legal guys give them hell. I hate that that stupid site comes up in a search before this site.

Last time any threads linking to this site didn't show up.

If Othor was even more of an uber troll he'd swap all links to his site to here :o

It seems Othor just updated so he got Beth's latest title. When Fallout 4 comes out, it'll go back to gamefallout.com
