    Hi, I posted a question in the fashion and appearance section about Casmara facials in Cork. When I googled the topic today my post along with my user name appeared on a site called www.solazylife.com. There appeared to be other posts from boards on the site as well.

    Is this other site part of boards?

    Thanks

    Nope not part of boards; looks like they are just scraping data from the rss feeds (Just a guess)

    Not to mention copies of fora such as Food & Drink, Cooking & Recipes, Snacks & Sweets, Clearasil & Hormones, Smoking & even Mustard (amongst others). Posters names also present. Cheeky fcukers.

    That is cheeky. I don't think it's much of an issue really, but the site is hosted in China so there's probably not much we can do about it if it was.
