New Dye-Sub Forum?

[JSR]

Using Google to find one of my old posts just now, I came across this forum: http://www.printingbusiness.biz/forum.php

I've never heard of it before but it has some of my posts and other familiar threads on it. It looks like it's a rip from one of the old Subli-Nation forums. Their "jigsaw logo" looks like the one the DSF had awhile back.

Does anyone know anything about it?

yep i have seen this few weeks ago! Logo look riped off from our old one. I found loads of my posts there too but funny thing is i can not log in with my old nick and password
I dont know if this is same old owners ofsubli-nation forum but it looks like they like the idea of this forum ad they trying to start again...


edit:

LOL! I just reqested new password from they site
this is what i get after log in

You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.
Date the ban will be lifted: Never


​I wonder what did??

[JSR]

Paul, did you try creating a new account?

I wonder whether the "banned" thing is because they don't have access to the email addresses (at least, I hope they don't!), so the forum owner may have set up all accounts with a non-existing email address.

I'm still not sure what the purpose of that site is. If someone wants to create their own dye-sub forum then I'm sure no one's going to try and stop them, but to nick all the posts from a forum that hasn't been posted on for about 3 years is just being silly about the whole thing.

Oh noooo. They do have access to emails as new password arrived fine. After log in i noticed this ban message.

You've been a naughty boy... I have joined and not missing much apart from a cracking post on how to last longer in bed.. for men !!

[Paul]

Oh great, so I take it we can presume that Kevin @SubliNation, or whoever ran the old forum, sold on our details then. That's nice. I supposed the Data Protection Act just applies to other people does it? :rolleyes:

How soon before we learn that any credit card details we used to buy blanks with have also been sold on?

[Paul]

this is what i was thinking... Or this may be Kevin. Then everythig is legal.

Its full of spam anyway - funnily enough I seen the same spammer's name post on this site too!

[JSR]

I don't see why that makes any difference. Whether legal or not, it certainly wouldn't be ethical.

I have an instant dislike of any organisation that has access to my details without asking first. It makes no difference if the information is sold on or inherited. Many people distrust the internet because of underhanded practices when it comes to personal data. New sites cropping up using our details without permission, whether inherited or sold on, fosters further distrust. Distrust doesn't help anyone, and that's why I dislike said practices and any organisation that cultivates such practices.
