  Thanks.

  I’m getting about 2.5 metric $#!+loads of them over at bigroom.org. I suspect they’re one of those automated “copy someone else’s blog posts and hope for ad-click revenue” scams.

  Who woulda thunk it? I’m glad you posted this, because I couldn’t figure out their site at all — it’s just as you said, they seem to be copying blog data, then reposting it, but I couldn’t figure out why until I read your post.

  See http://stolen.wordpress.com for advice on how to handle them. Also, you can search the forum for “Sploggers” or “Blog Scrapers” which is what those are.

  Honestly, at first I thought it was some kind of schizophrenic.
