Are Mageia forums being stolen? :(

The website linuxwhy.com basically lifted their entire thread:

http://linuxwhy.com/showthread.php?2746 ... -(AMD-5870)

From this Mageia forum:

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4745&hilit=5870

I know this to be the case because I am the OP for that thread.

Why would they do this? Are all their forums just stuff copied from other forums? Is that even legal? (It's certainly unethical) :/

Only the first post is an exact copy, rest is different. Still second reply seems to magically know that this is about Mageia?

Sent an inquiry to the team of linuxwhy.com.

interestingly enough, following the 'contact us' link at the footer leads to a dead link http://linuxwhy.com/team@linuxwhy.com?s ... 9abac1f798
