Found out that they are notorious spammers based in Hong Kong. Do a quick Google or Google Groups seacrh on “metatus.com”. They have been harvesting addresses from usenet for some time, apparently.
If they are lifting posts from here, I am sure they have someone who checks this board often. They are probably scurrying around like roaches trying to delete all the stolen material.
I guess that will leave them with about 10 posts, total 
Hey! Now when the hamsters get slow we can dart over there wthout all the waiting. 
::d&r::
This all begs the question: Why do this?
Wow, their hamsters are so fast that they can even simulpost with the OP (headphone thread).
Now THAT’S fast!
Can we trade ours in for one of theirs?
Perhaps they have some kind of script running that’s just automatically grabbing and mirroring the content.
Unless their ISP or hosting is physically here, it may be difficult to take legal action against them.
Oh, I registered there just for laughs. Wanna know what’s in the “Members Only” forum?
No you don’t. It’s all explicit sex talk.
Tuba, get 'em.
Now hold your horses. This might not be a bad thing. If the SDMB suffers a heart attack again and information is lost, this site is storing it for us automatically and free. 
Hey, in their version of The Pit there is a thread that was started by Persephone. Is it ‘our’ much beloved Persephone?
Not if the stolen posts have been edited to remove any reference to the SDMB.
WTF?
That is fricken crazy! Why would anyone copy posts onto their own board? I’m scared now…
Yeah, but to remove references to the SDMB is only a very short Perl program.

Mods - would you get pissed off if I started a thread about how much Metatus sucks, just to see if it showed up over there?
Wait - I mean, another thread. Besides this one. Aw, crap. Never mind.
Recursion is a beautiful thing.
Gotta love their posting rules:
I think that’s hypocrisy I hear dripping…
I say we go over there and throw toilet paper ALL OVER THEIR YARD!
Looks like we should have gone with the tin-foil hat smiley.
Actually what would have been funny, although it’s much too late to do it, is to go there and repost this OP only minus all SDMB references. Certain hilarity.
I was just checking out the site and I saw this …
… anyone willing to own up to that ?

I wonder if it’s connected to the one before that, “truth will out”?
I think the SDMB is in deep trouble. Check out the standard of debate we’re up against.
