Content Farm Update and Autoblog Scrapers
My bad. Actually, what I should have said- Skyfire did not post the actual link because Skyfire didn't feel like giving that forum thread on that site, a link to our forum.
However, someone else has decided to post the link anyways, which defeats Skyfire's intention.
Skyfire only wanted to point something out to people, but didn't want to give out the free link to the forum thread providing the entertainment or information, depending on how you want to look at the material.
Next time, I'll look before I leap.
Complete waste of time. Sorry - there are millions of these guys doing this.
This is nuts.
