What a load of crock! LOL

Imitation is the greatest form of.... I cant do anything for myself and lack originality so I'll just steal theirs. :eek:

Why would you be using the fake forum stats with these stats:

Threads: 126,547, Posts: 1,418,020, Members: 3,659

Or are they FAKE ?

you have one forum with over 1 million posts.

It wouldn't make me mad because honestly I have too much going on with my own site to worry about imitators.

TimberFloorAu 01-19-2009 09:47 PM

The issue in this case isnt copycats or imitators its plaguerism.

Or would seem to be if we saw a screen pic or 2

I think I have a screeny somewhere... This post is old.

And no, none of my big board stats are fake. :)

Its not plagiarism: Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

And to answer the original question, there probably isn't much that can be done, usernames are universal and used on forums all over the world and there is no way to say that for 100% surety they came from your site unless you've some how scoured all forums members lists, compiled the names, and your site is the only one with them :)

Which if you've done that, it probably wouldn't be worth all the effort required :D
