'gamesas.com' bot-copying these forums?

Post » Sat Aug 18, 2012 10:53 pm

Doing a Google search for one of my own mods, I came across this website with an exact copy of my thread from http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1397906-wip-dawnstar-expanded

Now, this is an exact copy of my own thread here on the forums, except with bot-generated users by the look of it. What exactly IS this website, and is there anything we can do about it? It is utterly bizarre, and also must be copying from these forums fairly frequently. It also seems to be somewhat human directed, as it has a nice Alduins Wall banner, and only particular gamesas game subforums (ie it doesn't copy the whole of www.gamesas.com)

Creeps me out : /

i know this sounds weird, but can you send us a link to the bot site? or at least just me in a PM, im curious to why a bot would copy-past a topic... i mean who would design that? whats the point?

p.s. i slightly dont trust you because you dont have a avatar =/

Before that, it was gamefallout.

Othor the troll is persistent, I tell you.

No-one knows exactly why the site is up, but I'd gladly see it burn. Someone mentioned sometimes in a galaxy far-far away that you can report this site to google, which would make them report it from their search-system (or something?), but I have no idea how you do that.

lol. He's been here since 2006. :P And gamesas is an annoying site indeed. Google it and you'll find it.

There have been several topics on this, the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1332320-the-bsf-clone/ and posted in less than a month ago. Use it for further discussion please.
