Are they continuing to take content from here? Damn, I basically forgot about this. I meant to keep in mind that I might end up posting to more than one message board when I post here. heh

Sorry. But it was funnier the first time someone said that.

Aww, Guinastasia, if it makes you feel any better I forgot it wasn’t the first time and smiled at the idea, too. . . 🙂 \<–see?

All they would have to do is switch stuff around a little bit (which they seem to do very well) and any real users of that message board would be quite duped into suspecting us!

Please help me keep an eye on the situation, some emails have been sent, including to what I think is the hosting company for this offending website.

According to [Netcraft](http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.cockadoodledoobbs.com), it’s [Abacus America/aplus.net](http://abac.com), or a reseller we don’t know about. They’re the registrar for the domain, too, so it’s probably Abacus America/aplus.net.
