I posted my question here and went out on Google and came accross this. This cat is scrapping content from here in real time. Looks like they're doing it to vb com also.
Isn't that in violation of the TOS for here? Besides just plain stealing content?

not if rss feeds are on

Okay... But how is that set to nab new threads in real time? Wouldn't that be chewing up bandwidth on both ends pretty bad?

the guys copy the site, and so ?! they can't beat the real thing, so it's completely useless to panic...

Not really an RSS feed. An RSS feed would link back to this site unless for some reason vb.org has disabled that.

They seem to have "For the full text, visit vBulletin.org" (linked) in them, at least all the ones I saw did.

If you follow the link I posted then click the home tab you don't see any "more" link.

its not hard to remove that in the rss settings

Then that's plagerism. Besides the hits from the search engines that's just messed up.
@vbenhancer > It's not panicing, it's pressing the point. There's a difference.

You could block requests from that URL and IP i believe . You can also go through your AWstats logs to check for incredibly active bots and scrapers and block them accordingly.
