I found a site that is using the 'fake forum statistics' mod. Well They copied my whole 'whos online in the last 24 hours' to their whos online part of that hack..
It has all my members names in their whos online in the last 24 hours as a result.
If your got a legal copyright on the mod and they removed (the copyright information on the mod that is) or it's still there then it might be classified as it. I would have to find more information about it first.
Its like if I went to your site and copied all the members showing on your 'members in the last 24 hours' and pasted it to my own site. It will show all your users usernames as my users.
In your forum rules/agreement upon registering or some where on your site state that your site owns the usernames of each user registered on your site or their usernames fall under your copyright? If you have something similar to that then yes its illegal, otherwise its up to each user name the copied whether they care or not.
It may be the same members. I would get in contact with the members and ask them. To me it kind of sounds like a hack because if theres updates with yours then it might be running off of your site meaning your server load is weighed even more.
nope, its not mirrored and it would be quite impossible for them to have my admin as a member or several of my mods.. Seriously its like 280 of my user names. all in a row, plus others.. which they prolly stole from somewhere else.

Would this bother you, is it even legal?
