Forum:What's with wikiii.net?

One of our users noticed that almost the content on Wookieepedia is seen at http://starwars.wikiii.net/. This seems to be a very fast moving mirror, tracking our recent changes. Is this the case? Is it expected that I can't login or create an account?

(The main domain, www.wikiii.net, sends me to a Polish version of Uncyclopedia.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * How can they have access to the new Monaco skin ? — TulipVorlax 18:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They may be one of those sites that dynamically feeds our pages through their own proxy. We've seen them before on a smaller scale. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 19:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Odd, as Culator says its on a large scale, but many pages don't yet exist(I'v been running though it), also almost all the pages (including the main) have a message at the bottom saying: "Nowosc porno youtube nalepsze, a tu encyclopedia psychology great, all about EverQues game, catalog dmoz great Maszyny Drogowe expekt O Jasiu 123 Cheap Hotel booking horoskopy buy tramadol buy ambien tekst Gry wagi" also when I click edit it simply refreshs the page, defintly "dynamically feeding our pages through their own proxy" RC-1136 20:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like a direct mirror... basically Wookieepedia wrapped in their site. We'll look into it.  Thanks for the report :) -- sannse (talk) 20:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a direct mirror which is abusing our content by adding links to the bottom which is essentially attempting to trick search engines. We're blocking it now. If you have submitted any sort of personal information through this site please change your password on your Wikia account immediately. We're currently currently checking out logs to see if any accounts have actually logged in through them. More details soon. -- JSharp (talk) 22:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Update:We're now dropping requests from this site. Please change your password if you attempted to log in to this site. -- JSharp (talk) 09:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you can block this wikiii.net thing, can you also block gportal.hu from hotlinking images.wikia.com and theempirestrikesback.net from dynamically re-serving our pages? I'm sure there are other examples, but the listings haven't been updated recently. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 23:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
