Hello Administrators,
I didn't know who to talk to about this problem, and I know you
get a lot of comm traffic, but I came across this domain,

http://www.freeallegiance.net

Registrant:
Austin Harris

Registered through: GoDaddy.com
Domain Name: FREEALLEGIANCE.NET

This domain has exposed allegiance member profiles to search engines.
For example this members' profile;

http://www.freeallegiance.net/game/index.p...owuser=225.html
or
http://www.freeallegiance.net/game/index.p...owuser=277.html

Now, if these members had his/her e-mail on their profile page,
this would expose them to email harvest bots.

Now I know this is the internet and all but if Austin Harris wants
to archive
FREEALLEGIANCE.org in private (and use up the community's bandwidth)
I guess that's fine.*
However one of the nice features of the freeallegiance.org web board is that
search engines cannot search beyond the front page.

If my profile and posts become Google searchable,
I would find this to be a chilling effect.**

As for a practical aside, the domain similarity and the copied
but broken board functionality would be confusing to someone
looking for freeallegiance.org

If someone could speak to mr.Harass about this, I and I'm sure
other members would appreciate whatever help you could bring.

Thanks for lending me your ear,

HJ_KG

finding the elusive bug or enhancing performance to refactoring
for cleanliness or integrating applications.
C#, XAML and RegEx are my favorite languages. I enjoy a fair bit
of T-SQL and database design, and sometimes I’ll solve problems
with some javascript, xml, or xslt.

Well, if that went up when it's dated, it would explain why I suddenly started getting spam out of nowhere on ICQ in september...

Y_P again?

Again? Still. It's a known situation, HK. (But thanks for caring enough to point it out.) From what I recall the last time I looked, he scraped the open forum content (but couldn't get the closed stuff, like Cadet, squad forums, etc.) It also hasn't been updated in quite some time.

You're wrong, he scraped also all closed forums content he had access, too.

So did anyone do anything about this?

When I signed up for this forum, I gave FAO permission to publish my posts (as per the agreement on the registration form). I did not give YP permission.
If he doesn't respond to normal emails, a DMCA takedown notice should do the job.
I've seen it work with 'inofficial mirrors' of other sites before.

You're asking if anyone has done anything about something posted 9 and a half hours before your post?

The only hidden forums (like dev lounge) posted to are actually pretty boring and any sensitive information (e.g. FTP passwords) is out of date and have been changed already.

Be assured admins will take appropriate action.
