We shall see how long this lasts. Why is this a direct clone of Mac-Forums.com? - Mac Forums Talk about Apple Mac hardware software iPod iTunes Buying Tips, Advice and Discussion

EDIT: This can't be legal. They have clones of all of iNET's forums... *eyeroll*

Hot Web Hosting Talk (Theirs)
Web Hosting Talk (iNET's)

Notice how the board descriptions are still the same.

EDIT 2: LOL nice response they gave me.

Wow, that really looks hilarious. They went to the trouble of re-making a logo and copying all the forums over... to just be full of spam?
