Plagairism site?

Mike Ellison

http://the3factory.com/[^] It looks like this is another site plagiarizing CP articles without attribution. Anyone else have problems with these guys?

Yea, I can't load them now either. When I found one of my articles on their site, I submitted a note pointing out their plagiarism on their "contact us" page. Now it looks like their site is down. I'm not even sure my form submitted properly.

Now why would developers go to a site for advice when the site can't even stay up for more then 2 minutes?

It looks like they're sooo intent on copying CP, they copied the performance issues from a few months back too ... wow, that's dedication.

I'm largely language agnostic

After a while they all bug me :doh:

The site is now broken

I was thinking about DDoSing the site, but considering it's current state, I think the site owners have done that job already.

So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

It looks like a pretty new website and hence my proxy categorization catalog does not still have a matching entry for it. How about the owner (from WHOIS)?

Done a whois, in short he's a guy from China, registered the site with godaddy. Also got his full address, phone number and gmail on there. Why people don't pay the extra couple of quid for the privacy protection option I don't know.
