Rumbled.
Having a good old laugh at sites that steal our content ad verbatim.Published 10/10/2008 at 8:45 by newsbot
Ah, the internet. Yesterday, in the European PSN Update post, we added a little ‘hook’ to see if anyone was blatantly ripping us off. Well, it seems they are.
Sure, there’s the odd forum here and there which is fine, but at the time of writing 57 other websites had ripped off the list, including the hook, in its entirety..

You’ll have to start putting the list as one big .JPG image, and writing TSA as a watermark over the top…

Ah, very similar to what atlas/map designers do to be sure there is no infringement on their property.
(They add an island, city, etc. that is not real.)

God how I hate AV Forums. They once printed my personal details in a thread once for all to see. Bunch of bastards, got endless ammounts of spam, still get some occasionally. Oh, how I loath the cretins who admin/mod that godawful place.

Good for info though, especially tweaking your PS3 settings to squeeze every possible pixel out it in all it’s glory
personal details just aren’t on though
