    Is http://www.450rhq.org/ included?

    It looks to be a mirror of the .com with the same content.

    Wow....thanks for the heads up.

    Looks like an old admin has taken a database backup and tried to recreate the site on the .org. Very frustrating. I sent them an email but assuming I won't hear back.

    As you can see the .com is much older and the original.

    It was easy to find. There is even some mention of it in a couple threads in the announcements forum. From the looks of things the person is somehow, maybe by RSS, Getting the newest topics as they are posted. It almost looks like things are posted on both sites complete with replies at the same time.

    It also looks like the .org is a spam magnet now. Give me another day to make my decision.

    Also looks like you're an admin on the other site. Maybe you should login there and shut it down.

    Yeah it looks like it's been negleted and full of spam. I've shut off all RSS feeds now.

    I tried to login and shut it down, but I don't have admin access to the admin panel. I'm assuming he has a copy of the database so doing that wouldn't help as he could just restore it.

    Either way I think I can report to his hosting as stolen content and they will give him 24 hours to take it down?

    Try this page:

    Looks like you'll have to fax it to them.

    Mailed it off, guessing it will probably take until end of next week before it's down.

    Anyways, I have it sold unless you want it? You were interested first so let me know either way. I want to get it moved today.
