So, out of curiosity and sheer boredom, I decided to google Candles of the North(a small Skyrim mod I made), and alongside the downloads and a mod spotlight from the lovely Dragonporm, I noticed an odd link. "http://www.gamesas.com/skyrim-candles-the-north-morrowind-esque-wielded-t267136.html". I am not sure what would be after the wielded, so I will assume they mean candles. Now, I decide to check the page, and I noticed a couple things. One, the first(and only) 2 posts in the thread are identical to an older version of my similarly named thread, "http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1396327-relz-skyrim-candles-of-the-north-morrowind-esque-wielded-candles-for-skyrim/". The other thing I noticed was that the thread was for -Blam!-ing sure not posted by me, and Se?or Cinco sure as -Blam!- was not the person replying. Another thing I noticed was that both of these "people"(Possibly bots?) had thousands of posts each. Out of further curiosity, I googled to see if they also did this with aESA:ALMSIVI. http://www.gamesas.com/almsivi-narrative-driven-and-lore-friendly-advent-t322407.html Further research(read: Google searches) shows that I am http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2519426 who is http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/62027185 Anybody have any ideas as to what the site even is?

Ya, this has been known for a long time (even before Skyrim's release). I remember when it was gamefallout.com

Oh, and I was a Israeli woman...

Yep. http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1332320-the-bsf-clone/?hl=%20gamesas http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1446774-looking-for-that-thread-about-gamesas/?hl=%2Bgamesas#entry22322758 http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1404787-gamesascom-bot-copying-these-forums/?hl=%2Bgamesas#entry21406454 http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1287072-site-scraping-bethesda-forums-wth/?hl=+gamesas

I haven't seen who I am on there yet. If you think that's weird, try looking yourself up on ProfileEngine.

So far, I am both a heavily armored vehicle and a gymnast cat!

I see this site has quite the history!

I found my Facebook profile. This is very off putting!

I wasn't aware of this until now. Bizarre.

Pretty strange indeed. It'd be fun if someone actually registered on gamesas and thought that he/she actually was talking to real people. Sooner or later they'd start to wonder why no one is responding to them, though.

Considering how almost all of the threads that I have seen which are similar to those here have no differing posts, I am inclined to believe people seem to be smarter than that. It would be good fun, though, all in the name of phishing and botnets!

How long until you guys think this thread pops up there?

That's why we have to start making bogus posts that'll go in there, such as:

IT'S AWARE!

IT'S HAPPENING

DON'T SCREAM WHEN THE BLASTWAVE HITS

What if we're the clone and gamesas.com is the original?

I say we tell Gstaff.

Maybe you're all just very elaborate bots and I'm the only real person here...
