If he misses out on the finest trolling skillz the 'net has to offer, that's his problem


btw, this isn't the first time I've seen something like this. I belong to another forum that was somewhat "copied", including several of my posts, but they got caught and shutdown farily quickly....

Thought this was an old thread when i saw it first, this happened before about a year ago. Either way the link seems to be dead so they must have taken it down. . .

If you're right, they must have reacted pretty fast...
Or was it the right actions taken by us and the DevShed management?

From what I can tell their whole forum was taken down but keep an eye on it and let us know if it pops back up.

We chase down idiots like this on a weekly basis.
