Check out this site:
http://www.discussstuff.com
He's got the same slogan, same forum titles and mostly the same title sequence. And his logo was stolen from a designer at another forum. Is there anything that can be done about people like this?

Sorry for the rant, btw. This stuff just infuriates me. What happened to respecting other people's creativity and hard work?

Mention it to the owner of this site, if you haven't already. If he/she doesn't want to do anything, just ignore the site.
Something like this happened at another site I used to go to. Social Tree completely ripped off You Think. The owner of YT decided not to do anything about it.
Just boycott the site. People like that aren't worthy of visitors. Let the owner do something if she wants to.:
I hate people who do this.:-5

nope.
the forum 'owner' at discussstuff posted here a day or so ago, basically saying 'come over here, we're better'. that's spam, so i tossed him and his post. they just started up the forum barely a week ago. yes, they've 'stolen' our basic format, our 'catch phrase', and general layout.
but it's a free world. they can do whatever they want - on their site. i wish them luck, but when you start out as a copycat, chances are you have no original ideas of your own. without original ideas, there's no growth. i give them a few more weeks, they'll get bored with nobody posting (and not be able to figure out why), and that will be that.
all we ask is that they don't come here and try to poach our community. show some class. the 'innernet' is pretty big, remarkably enough. like, hundreds of millions of people big.
build your own community, rather than relying on the 'grass is greener' contingent, who *never* stick around long...

Paul, the first thing I thought when I saw that forum was "No originality whatsoever."
Have fun in zombie-land, people! Looks like a great cure for insomnia...
Whoops...was that out loud??! :-5

Well if they're in the business of ripping off forums, why not rip off forum usernames as well?

No sense in stopping after they steal a logo, a slogan, etc...

Hey! I"ve been away for a couple of weeks. This thread caught my eye.
I checked out their site. Very weird. Not only is there a Tombstone, but Tombstone is also the administrator!

Oh oh are you 2 serious tombstone, and accountable in a faux FG site??

Perhaps a past disgruntled spammer, flamer, scammer, or employee hmmmmm??? This looks vaguely familiar to me.

PROOF !
Guess what I found on E Bay people.
This is proof that B Boop is the one selling off the Forum Garden !
Shes not only selling the forum shes selling off its members, can you believe it ? THE NERVE ?
Essentially shes in the slave trade to the highest bidder.
Something must be done about this. NOW ! Who knows where we end up ? Some creepy guy in Kazakhstan owning us.....is that what we want ?
I think not !
B Boop you must have your reasons but its time to come clean.
Bless your little pea pickin heart honey but you just cant go around selling FG members on E Bay ! Lets talk about it.
Lady Cop you might want to contact your Supv. at this time.
