    I do wonder, if anyone among us brave enough to attempt to log in with their credentials on this nefarious copy of our fine community to see if the database itself has been stolen?

    They haven't yet updated your avatar

    The thread that I closed here isn't closed there

    I also can't find a copy of LET's rules there

    I don't appear to be a mod there

    I nominate @Nekki to handle this fruitful experiment.

    Looks like selective scraping to me.

    I'm going to try and block it.

    Sir, a point-in-time copy of the database would look just like that, would it not?

    They're also scraping tutorials from DO:

    Bravo, dear leader, bravo!

    I do hope you can deal with this accursed mess once and for all.

    It seems like you're right, it looks like a couple of others are too. I assume that if this is a Weasel site, he's probably got me "banned" there because he doesn't like me.

    He was banned at one point of time though. Maybe it's using a copy of earlier data from Lowendtalk.

    I thought the same thing, either a cached profile from wayback machine etc OR it's someone having a laugh and in their alternative LET I'm actually banned lol

    I tried to make an account on that site and received an activation e-mail from [email protected].
    The e-mail also leaked the server address which is 65.108.138.230 (Hetzner).

    Sir, might I suggest that this particular anthill is one you desist in attempting to upend.

    For whether the ubiquitous Mr Doherty is indeed the Tiniest of Weasels is ultimately immaterial if Mr Doherty is making continued efforts to become an upstanding member of our fine, fine community. Your constant baiting will only have one result, one I fear which will be unremittingly negative for all concerned.

    I would appeal to you that, in the absence of any sign of behaviour detrimental to the community at large from Mr Doherty, you allow potentially sleeping dogs to continue their rest uninterrupted.

    Without a "mea culpa" recognizing previous shit behaviour and agreeing it was stupid and won't happen again, I don't see that happening. Otherwise, this is just the next phase in social engineering his way into the site.
