Why do threads mirror at Van Forum and here?

It's just weird.

We have cross posters.

Why do you care??

In my country they have a saying for this...rowing your boat on two rivers.

[Bricktop]

Running with the fox, and hunting with the hounds...

People are just interested in what both groups have to say.  No biggie.

I got that but it struck me as kind of weird anyway. Two groups discussing the same topics (often worded the same in the titles) but maintaining two separate sites.

It's for the best :)

It also doesn't help that little Eddie copies threads here and pastes them over there.  Hence the Seaweed/Bacon thread and it's opening post appearing word for word on bother sites.



In case there are those that are unaware, he also steals avatars, pictures and whatever other personal info he can glean from the members here and keeps them for future mischief.

[RW]

Whatever floats his sad little boat.  He won't be allowed to cause mischief here.

I haven't had time to read VF in a long time, but I would assume the same topics would be discussed all over internet.

I post in both very different forums for quite different reasons. When I have what I consider an especially interesting, important or provocative thread placed here, why would I not use it for both?

.......I would assume the same topics would be discussed all over internet.

Yes, of course

Jeeez ... I just noticed that Goofus has stolen  Spec's Stolen Valour thread word for word and posted it "over there"



along with other peoples threads as well



One thing for a thread to be re- posted to by the originator, another for it to be stolen word for word



Then, Goofus is Goofus, eh?
