Regardless, I do not think you made ANY friends here by doing that. :\

Travis did contact me and I did add links to the signatures fake member names of post he originated as a courtesy.

That was nice of you !

These types of techniques are common, although unethical, it's not illegal.

Only unethical...in that case it's all right !

Okay, where do I begin.

1. Did you have Drew's permission to use several posts from this forum? Answer - No

2. The reason that Yahoo answers has a source box is because some of the answers would be considered plagiarism if the original source wasn't included. It's just like removing the author's name from a book.

3. From what I can tell, you have just deleted some of my responses. I have yet to see a single hyperlink replaced.
Would it kill you to actually insert the no follow link? If you had just used the links in the first place, you and I wouldn't even be having this conversation right now.

I work really hard at developing original content for my blog, you should do the same for yours.
Google rewards original content by the way. It also penalizes sites that have too much copied content.

I didn't scrape anything from this forum, only Yahoo! Answers. Once I get a certain amount of content, I turn it off, which I did about 2 weeks ago.

Oh the way I found this thread is on my traffic statistics. I saw the incoming traffic from the links on this thread.  :D

Some of the responses were deleted initially, but the ones that remained, I did add your links.

Well, if you didn't pull anything from this forum, that means that someone else pulled content from this forum to use in Yahoo Answers. That is precisely why you must leave the source link in place... to avoid copyright issues.
