    I found this site a few weeks back. Somehow their stolen data has a higher Google page rank than the actual pages on VBForums.

    Go figure. heh

    But see, in October the price would be sky-rocketting. It would make more sense to me to buy in September (which should be the lowest point in the year for Pumpkins), and sell on October 31.

    My guess is tho, it'll peak in January!

    No, the site from that thread links to us - the one that this thread refers to is actually copying our content, and not even mentioning that it came from here (trying to make it look like their own pages).

    It would be funny if it copied this thread or some other thread stating the copyright violations and how JM's lawyers are going to sue them. It would be hillarious to read that stolen thread nested in their own website's page

    Brad, Could you possibly PM me the link to the site in question please, I'd just like to check that none of the stuff on the Forum of which I am a Mod (XVBT) has been stolen either.

    Re: People are stealling vbforums!

    Based on their list of "forums", they have only taken content from here.. but I haven't checked any further than that.

    I'll PM the link to you.

    Please do not request the link anymore as we will no longer give it out. There is no point in our driving traffic to their site.

    Sorry,

    Brad!
