    The copyright to the posts here at DP belongs to the original contributing members. Maybe you can file a DMCA against them if they've stolen some of your posts?! As they aren't imitating DP in terms of appearance there's not much that DP can do.

    Are you sure that you did not post in more than one forum? That seems to be a weird one to copy. Of course they could have hired a paid poster who copied it and pasted it there to earn teh money for posting.

    Imitations is the best kind of compliments sometimes :) . Such imitations on the Internet is common, I really doubt DP would be surprised or alarmed.

    I feel that they must have hired forum posters. forum posters find a easy way out by copying and pasting content from other sites.

    how can you track the forum poster.

    There are several sites scraping DP using rss feeds. Cant imagine there getting much traffic though, DP has a ton more authority.

    Seems DP is often imitated but never exceeded.

    Thanks for the alert.
