Chris, I think you have lawsuit material with BuzzyCode[^]. It looks like the entire site, when it works, was put together by a couple of idiots wanting to copy CP and they've populated their "articles database" by copy'n'pasting LOTS of articles directly from CP. The "people" "posting" the articles are all fake, as are the comments to them. The site says they've got some 2,700+ articles. I wonder how many of them were copied from here?? Hell, I think the entire site is a badly written copy of CP itself!

2006, 2007Pretty cool: here and here. Maybe it's a gate to a weird parallel universe? Who knows? ;-) BTW: I like the cat in the top left corner... I think I'm gonna switch to Buzzycode ;-)

Hi Chris, I signed up to that very productive site immediately (only members can download). They have 500 members and over 2000 articles now. An article download is a ZIP containing one or more ZIPs straight from CodeProject, so first advice to CP authors should be to include some comment and/or text file in our ZIPs. I do not understand why they have stolen only one of my articles (Sokoban). [ADDED] They kept the sentence "Some of the following items relate to recent topics on one of the CodeProject message boards" intact, that's nice. [/ADDED] And I did not find a way to submit articles !? Is it OK if I continue to use CodeProject? I can only hope they copy our good stuff, and attract some/all of the trolls. I trust you will speed up the launch of the new CP site to beat the competition :laugh: -- modified at 11:14 Wednesday 29th August, 2007

You may certainly continue to use CodeProject. However, what they have done is illegal and totally goes against the spirit of the community. It's appalling behaviour and I'm disgusted with them for stealing our authors' work so blatantly. My advice: please do not support that site. It only encourages others.

True. They are trying to boost the page rank. Hence I responded in another thread that let us not click any link to BuzzyCode which will boost the Referral Traffic. Let us manually copy the link and paste it in a new isolated browser window. We should not support that plagaristic felony website even indirectly. :mad:

They are unauthorized CP mirrors and blood-sucking-leaches. I hope that CP has already initiated intellectual property infringment suit against that LogicsIndia.

That is why I am trying to emphasize in my posts that we should not click links from CP to boost the referral traffic to him. Isn't it correct, Chris?
