And at no where do you attribute the article to its original author, even IF the copyright has expired, which I highly doubt, it still stinks of plagiarism.
Add to the fact that your forums ...[text shortened]... t find from much better sites, why would anybody waste their time on your site?
Go away now.

So your purpose was to come to this site and drive traffic to YOUR site? Because these forums are already successful an have an audience and content? And your only purpose for coming to this site was to drive traffic to YOUR site?
Stinks of SPAM to me.
Anybody have a link to the original article referenced above re: copyright issues? I'd like to see about contacting the author.

At least give him credit. If someone didn't know better, they would think that great article was written by the planetchess person.

I've taken screenshots of the copyright violations (says copyright 2002 on the original page, DEFINITELY not expired)
I'm going to email the actual author now.

If somebody was willfully breaking your copyright, would you not want to be informed of this? I sure would.
Either way, it doesnt matter now, the email is sent.

I was so sure there was another planet chess website couple of years ago. Maybe it has a different adress but same name. Sounds so familiar.
