The content pirates are back.

Yep, Metatus is back up. Haven’t seen any indications if their bot is working but maybe I’m not looking hard enough.

Is that some sort of bizzaro SDMB?

It has been discussed here in case you aren’t aware of the situation.

Do not go over there and cause trouble. Better yet, don’t go over there at all.

Thanks, Joey. I was going to link to that thread but the hamsters said they couldn’t find anything contaning “metatus”. I was also going to add a warning but I couldn’t come up with anything good.

Eh. don’t bother. They don’t have any LOTR threads.

I thought this was going to be about easy-going Pirates of the Caribbean.

BTW, did someone report this to our friendly administration?

I’ve forwarded the information to Ed Zotti and the folks at the Chicago Reader. Until we see some of our content posted over there, there’s nothing to be done.

And thanks for the alert, Jeff. 'Preciate it.

Hey UncleBeer, when you say there’s nothing to be done until some of the content is posted over there, do you mean content from Cecil’s columns, etc.? Because I think the thread linked above showed some specific threads that were copied over to there. Not that it matters much, I’m just curious!

Oh… and thanks in advance for your valuable time in responding to my query!

Realhoops, check the dates in the linked thread. The deal was, that site was stealing our thread content as of this past August. I forget what the resolution was, but IIRC it involved thugs and kneecaps and them stopping stealing our stuff. I could be wrong about some of that.

Also, I think the thread in question has all that info.

So the issue now is they’re back, but they haven’t stolen any (of our) stuff (yet). So for now we just wait and see.

Yup. That’s correct, White Lightning.

Interesting stuff…

Even more interesting now that you added this little ditty.

One can read without posting.
