WTF??? My old MDC thread is on a medical website!? - Page 2

[BeckC]

I found this site that seems to be tracking all of my MDC posts.

Also this one:

They've been doing it for a long time it seems, or stole everything at once. I found a post of mine from 2004, marked on their site from 2007.

What can be done about it?

And, boy, there are a lot of variations of my username out there!

Oooh, that one has mine, too.

I used to have a different user name on MDC (during the first month or so that I was a member), but I actually paid to change it because it was the same user name that I used everywhere else. And I didn't want random people googling that and coming up with my MDC threads. So my MDC member name is pretty much only MDC. I also try to never post my first and last name in the same thread.

[htcamommy]

I'm on www.boardtracker.com/profile/537/11920.

This is really feels like a violation

[Mom2M]

Wow, it feels creepy! And just think, this thread is probably being put somewhere too!

[candipooh]

Didn't thins happen a few years ago too with a site that got taken down?

I just went on that boardtracker website and typed in my current username (paid to change) and it pulled up posts by my old username.

I know mdc is not in a protective bubble, but I feel a little less safe now.

Thanks!

[MamaChicken]

That stinks!

I google my username and get lots of recipes for fried chicken.

[hollytheteacher]

wow a bunch of mine are listed too. There is even oen site that like makes a chart about how much you post at MDC. It says i live in the UK though, which is wrong.

[canadianhippie]

i didnt realize how often the mdc forums come up on other sites, uh oh just a matter of time before the cannabis mama's thread gets exploited

[EdnaMarie]

MDC shows up in regular Google searches. It might not be as high as something else on a given day, but if you search an unusual user name or something you posted about, it will come up.

Not saying content theft doesn't suck big time, but you're not less safe regarding cannabis just because it's here--you really, really are not!

Yeah this site has my info from here on there as well.... annoying!

[jump mama jump!]

I googled my username and the first thing that popped up was a photo blog by another punk mommy. Sweet. Then Poison Girls lyrics which is what I expected.

I thought the same thing. I'm not a frequent poster due to being so busy, but saw this thread just now. I googled my username plus the health knowledge site and it pulled up one thread. It was posted Dec 07, but I know I replied before that on MDC it only mentions my DD and we would have had DS1's tol by then (so I would have mentioned him as well).

I totally remember this happening before too. Grrrrr...

[Kidzaplenty]

I don't get why. Some of those threads (and they are whole threads) are MDC specific (like roll calls or why you chose your user name).

[earthmama369]

I came across this a few months ago when searching my username and a few key words that matched subjects I'd posted about before. At least five different sites came up with direct C&Ps from MDC. It seems pretty common. They make it look like someone posted the thread to their site, adding content and making it look like their site is really active. But it's totally plagiarized.

Freaky, really freaky.
