I stumbled on this site just now and was surprised to see posts I'd made on MSE appearing on their forum, as if I've had the discussion there.
They seem to be taking some kind of feed from MSE.com and populating their own forum with conversations from here.

Hey folks,
We're taking a loook at this - can you post a link to where a post they have taken from here to help us out?

It looks like they are screen-scraping the content from MSE in some way and using it to populate their own discussion forum for the purpose of SEO - and earning commission on affiliate links.
My username, for example, is 'AAA Auto Loan' on their site...0 -
Cool, thanks for that.

Thanks MSE Dan
All posts seem to have been made by AAA Auto Loan. But they are clearly our conversations and they have even left in our usernames where there are quotations. I searched for Tixy in their forum search and got lots of matches.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
I seem to recall all posts by any of then belong to MSE so they are obviously breaking copyright and plagiarism0
-
But then again, MSE has RSS feeds of much of the discussions here, so not all can be copyright.
Do you want to know how I discovered this (by the way)?
I posted a question on MSE and then googled it afterwards, and my own post appeared in Google, just a few minutes after it had been published! I then opened a few of the results in new windows...and recognised my own text!0 -
There are a few sites that spider MSE but known take credit as far as I am aware0
