CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site Manfred Rudolf Bihy2-Nov-11 4:06 Manfred Rudolf Bihy 2-Nov-11 4:06  This forum I found via google contains content that was posted on CP: http://forum.bsbosa.com/showthread.php?9714-Where-are-my-messages-going[^] corresponds to this message on CP's C/C++/MFC forum: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4067235/Where-are-my-messages-going.aspx[^]. I'll have another look at that site and see if I can circumstantiate my suspicion. [Update] If I goto this list of programmin forum questions[^] the five first could already be confirmed as copies from CP. There is something foul going on. [/Update] Cheers!

Re: CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site Nagy Vilmos2-Nov-11 4:18 Nagy Vilmos 2-Nov-11 4:18  I would guess that OP posted the same question on both sites, rather than one site lifting the content of t'other. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett Re: CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site Manfred Rudolf Bihy2-Nov-11 4:22 Manfred Rudolf Bihy 2-Nov-11 4:22  I thought about that too, but the account posting the questions in the other forum is, as far as I saw, always Bsbosa.com and the questions on CP are from different accounts. I sense some form fo foul play. Cheers! "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine." Ross Callon, The Twelve Networking Truths, RFC1925 Re: CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site Nagy Vilmos2-Nov-11 4:27 Nagy Vilmos 2-Nov-11 4:27  I'm Nagy Vilmos here, and WilliamNW on other sites, so it is very possible that it is one person.

All CP posts are from different CP users. So you are saying Bsbosa.com from that other forum as a huge bag of sock puppet accounts on CP? "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine." Ross Callon, The Twelve Networking Truths, RFC1925 Re: CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site Nagy Vilmos2-Nov-11 5:07 Nagy Vilmos 2-Nov-11 5:07  So there's a lot of posts thus done? Why didn't you say! QED, bsbosa.com is a witch and should thus be burned. Now has anyone perfected the petrol transfer protocol? Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk.

Re: CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site fjdiewornncalwe2-Nov-11 4:19 fjdiewornncalwe 2-Nov-11 4:19  In this case it may not be scraped data, but rather just a user who has posted the same thing in two places. The user names are substantially different, but I have used many different ones over the years on different sites as well. I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Stealing content to put on their sites... Re: CodeProject content on seemingly unrelated site Chris Maunder2-Nov-11 7:54 Chris Maunder 2-Nov-11 7:54  Thanks for letting us know.

Richard MacCutchan28-Oct-11 2:16 Richard MacCutchan 28-Oct-11 2:16  This user[^] has done nothing for over 6 years, and has suddenly started posting messages about resetting Windows passwords; a bit like the two or three that were removed the other day.
