    Hi,

    I'm not sure it's the "BEST section" for this post, but, surfing on Google, I found a board leeching DP's content... I don't know if this website is wanted or not by DP admins, but in dubt, I prefere opening a little thread.

    The board url is 3"w","dot","s","b","a","7","o","dot","com" (i hope no robot is able to read this url :'D)

    Here is a little exemple of copied content:
    3"w","dot","s","b","a","7","o","dot","com"/en/showthread.php?t=27975

    The original DP post:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1192008

    Now you're informed!

    Best regards,
    TT

    Notice at the last category there is one called "The Digital Point" and notice most of the posts in each category are by the same user, especially in the BST section, this could be some sort of RSS feed.

    I've seen lots of blogs which scrape posts automatically not only from dp but other forums I use, it's probably somthing like that as I said but admitedly i've never seen it done on a forum before. he'll probably sell it soon enough
