look at the post titles, mines there, so's a lot of others.

Are these guys really posting them as if they were theirs, or just swiping the posts wholesale from elsewhere as a "hey look at this" kind of thing? I think the original "now I made this part" text is from the original thread.

That is just weird.
If you increment the number in the address(/threads.asp?t=130), you get different sub-forums.
t=130 = I/C engines
131 = Traction Engines
132 = Stationary engines
133 = Clocks
134 = Trams

None of which appear in the sites main Forum index with the exception of "I/C engines" which, if you go through the main index, lists different threads to those following your link.
Also notice that none of the threads are viewable and few of them have nicks after "by"
Very odd.

I have gone to this forum in order to have a look around. There are a lot of post titles that look like they contain stolen information but I tried a lot of them and all I could ever get is

Thread

Sorry, but the thread cannot be found.

I will continue to watch and possible ask questions in order to find out what is going on. :bow:

Cheers

For many years I have built hotrods as a hobby, and I fabricate a great many parts from scratch. Seven years ago when I was building my 1931 model A roadster pickup, I did a complete tech article on building a 1932 Ford grill insert, complete with step by step pictures of how it was done. I originally posted this on the Club Hotrod forum. A year later, I was browsing through the HAMB site on the Hotrod Journal, and there was my complete tech article, pirated by someone else and posted under his name. I fully realize that when I post something on a public forum, it becomes public domain, but I was surprised, to say the least, when I seen someone else taking credit for it.----Brian

I was looking at this yesterday thinking the same thing. They might have started as a single thread with a "have you seen this?" and the next post was "that was cool!, have you seen this one?" My browser wouldn't translate the page so I can't get a fix on what's going on.

Hi guys
How do you watermark a picture ?
Hilmar

 

[doubletop]

The software is FastStone photo resizer

http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm

Here's how you retrospectively watermark your photos that are already posted on Photobucket

http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4735.msg59622#msg59622

I'd suggest that with this going on, rather than stick a watermark in the corner of the photo something across the middle would be more appropriate

Hope that helps

Ya know guys...he advertizes google on the web site....to me , he clearly is trying to cash in on the ad traffic.

Perhaps we should have a talk with Google....we can't be the only ones who are having our content pirated. If we could get google to not pay them...maybe they would stop?

I read some of this, it states that Google complies with the "Safe Harbor Laws" regarding privacy.


Maybe the wrong tree...but I'm hoping the right forest?

What say you
