Are these threads archived on another website?

A friend of mine recently joined this site but told me when he searched for one of my threads on google my thread was posted on another site called themarijuana . Com
Is that the archive site for Rui?
It says it was posted by admin to that site but clearly says I'm the author here?

Not done by us mate
Looks like someone went through a lot of trouble on their own to do as such

I'll send it to the owner see what he wants to do

FYI tagging the admin account is useless he never logs on

When it says THE admin on that website you're being confused
It's just the owner / admin of that specific site not ours
People who own websites are admins

It's also not a list of every thread ever posted its only a few this person obviously finds specific to their needs
If it was every thread ever posted it would be close to millions

Ya it's not every single one
Like I said that would be in the millions

I would refrain from going on there it maybe unsafe who knows and just let me deal with it
Thanks for bringing it up

It wasn't us who did it we hold backups on software not web pages

Well I don't intend to join lol
But it is strange that so many posts are saved and archived.
Even a lot of the stupid argument theory conspiracy threads are there
Really weird

I've seen another website like this before this isn't my first encounter

Riu is free reign publicly

What I think/ assume it is , is a human has it set up for bots to gathers search information from ( Google bing etc )
And than sells the website to actual people (says it for sale)

So every single post on here could be sold and reposted on how ever many willing websites want to repost it?
It's not being sold by us
Like I said let me handle it we have lawyers
This is where we go into the
Thank for for showing me I can't say anymore

this stuff happens on websites all the time non marijuana related it's just all websites it happens

When I said Riu is free reign I don't mean for people to take our content I meant our website isn't private it's available online for all to read

This is web aggregation, for the purpose of gathering content to pump another website. It isn't unique and it isn't a plot- except that RIU does not give the rights to mirror and copy content on the website- and specifically forbids the sake of content.

Sunni said the lawyers gotta get involved and she can't say more, so that means cease and desist actions, etc.

Hey @sunni
Any update on this other site?
I keep expecting to see all the riu content removed from it but it's still piling up threads.

Legal matters are never quick or instant

I'm sorry I cannot discuss this issue as I have previously stated now that it has become a legal issue

Ttysticks answer was very well put
It is unlikely you will ever get an update until the issue is done and finished

Fair enough.
I don't know the ins and outs of the laws on this stuff.
But being a legal matter I understand not being able to talk about it.

Thanks
