An annoying trend... - Dark Jaguar - 8th August 2011

Lately, it seems that every single site that DREAMS of being a tech support forum has taken to stealing other tech support site's threads and copying them to their little forum.

I say this because sometimes I will search for an issue I haven't heard of before, and I will find exactly the same thread, with the same responses, across 10 different web sites. It's annoying because it really slows down a search if that particular cloned thread has nothing to do with your issue.

Yea, I've noticed that also.. That pisses me off as well.
Syndicating forum posts (not blogs) as a rule is stupid idea. Syndicating blogs is a good thing though.
