They mostly have big tit content from many sites I recognize. The forum is clearly breaking their web host's Copyright or Trademark Infringement. See below.

I suggest that if you find your content on there please e-mail the web host and ask them to remove the forum from their servers. I already did that but the more the merrier.

Hello,

Please be advised that it is against gfy rules to link to other forums.

Although if you are severly badmouthing a forum that is not gfy, it may be acceptable.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You said that in my last thread too.

Question: This is a Content Theft Board on a web master's forum, right?

How is someone supposed to inform fellow web masters of stolen content in sharing forums, if it is not allowed to post a link? I mean, is your concern the appearance of a back-link? In this case it would be possible to post the link in a way so it isn't recognized as a back link by spiders.

Or is it out of fear that the link may draw more traffic to the board with the stolen content, and hence increases the exposure? In this case it could be helpful to lock this board, so only those who are known to be legitimate web masters or own legitimate sites can access it.

GFY rules do not prohibit linking to all other forums, it is linking with an "attempt to steal GFY members" which is outlawed. Since the above linked forum is a surfer forum, not a webmasters board, it is hardly an attempt to steal GFY members.

Or maybe it is OTOH, since there's so many surfers here lately.
