Does it happen often that an article here got stolen for the profit of another website? (http://t.modding.ru/index.php?action=newview&new_id=1178)

Damnn. Are you pissed off? At least they linked to the original at the end? And on the plus side, lots more people have seen your mod now!
Edit: And from what I can make out. They arent taking credit. All the captions are along the lines of: "The enthusiast placed two 80mm fans."

I know, but it's a kind of a gentlemen thing to just say: hey BTW, I'm translating your thing... If you drag the site for some time you'll see a couple of articles with the mention "This pic or article was stolen from..."
As you said, my mod now have been seen in Russia ;)
Edit, And I just realized that my name is also used for dating site... Someone hate me for sure...
wow...that..umm..odd.
Not uncommon, they did link back here, but yeah, a bit strange, atleast alot more people have seen your mod, and in another language!

I hate Russian, so damn confusing! Some of the mods on there are pretty sweet!! Without having to sift through all that Russian, I presume the majority of them are 'stolen'.

Yeah, I just googled my internet name, and 90% of it was me...I was surprised...then again, the internet isn't private anyways....but the creepiest part is that there is another person with my internet name on some 'escort website'....
um.....awkward...........maybe I should change my internet name... :p

I don't see any problem with it, actually I'd be flattered. You were clearly credited as the modder and they are linking back to our site, so looks like win win situation. To me, this is free advertising, and if they link back here we could gain more members and if they click some ad-links while they're here Crimmy get's paid. Cool find!

Hmm...we force people to sign up to view Paul's mods, as they bring in members. Are you ok with them ripping it? I mean, fair enough-i don't think we have any Russians here, so moderating the forums would be hellish...but it would be nice to know that they're taking it...

That being said, i'd presume a lot of people on that side would not be speakers of English, thus not stealing a huge amount of members from these English speaking boards.

Oh, I didn't know you had to sign up to view the mods, that does change things a little.
