I was searching a BHW thread title in Google yesterday and stumbled upon this duplicate. Its a complete duplicate of a now deleted BHW thread, with all the usernames changed. For example; STE Hughes posted a reply and on Ninjafinder the name changes to marcyrose (1137 posts).

What is this? Some auto rip script? Why would they do that?
 
Yes I just was searching about that, all threads and posts that on BHW are in Ninjafinder too
 
I've run across several of these blackhat-made forums in recent years, where an old or deleted BHW thread is reproduced (or only the key post by the OP, with new responses). Sometimes the original user names are used, sometimes they are changed. Instead of populating a different board with paid postings, somebody decided to save money by putting on "re-runs" of threads from more popular forums. Just another BH way to create a BH board.
 
I agree with the above reply. It's a black hat technique that occurred sometime ago. I have also read about this but not recently. It's amazing how people can come up with so many ways on how they can cheat in the internet marketing world. I haven't heard about this for a long time now and it will be interesting to know more details about recycling old threads from forum sites.

^^^^^^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks zebrahat btw, no thanks left today lol...

also...... I find it really funny when reading some of the posts, and in the post content, it says things like
for BHW members only, or Special Thanks to BHW / BlackhatWorld etc...

btw, the true value of those clones = $0.00 ha ha ;)
 
I've seen this before and it's REALLY weird. The creepiest was when the old &Totse was replicated on another domain, which later vanished. They needed a database rip in order to do that. Thing is, it wasn't exactly very public..
 
This guy is always here, asking for help on how to do this, check his profile which i shared above!.

It is true that the value of them is $0.00, because they lack originality, but even with sites like this they are banking, and as much as you can bank nothing has a $0 value anymore... :)
 
And to think that the site has ADsense running on it for all this time. I thought site with 100% duplicate contents cannot run adsense ads on them?
