Question about a Leecher

[melegaunt]

I was curious as to if there is anything we can do about a particular site.
There is a site called ogh.cc that literally has a web bot combing our beloved MMOwned and copying every topic made in the WoW Exploits forum and putting it into its own WoW Exploits forum. Even if a post is deleted it is still on that site. I feel like that is disrespecting all of the hard work all of our contributors / admins have put into making this site so wonderful.

The owner of the site has hidden his website registration info by filling it with false information. As viewable by whois.sc and pasting in the website.

Now I know he is using a bot to crawl the site so it is most likely hosted on the same server as his website. Which would put its IP at 74.208.77.74 I believe.

What can we do to put this guy out of his misery?

I know!
I stumbled across it awhile back but didnt really put 2 and 2 together until i made a post, deleted it (as i found it was a repost) and realized my exact post was there.
Since my first post I have discovered that the address listed is just a server farm for 1 and 1 hosting. Although blocking that IP would still block the crawler I am guessing.

There are actually dozens of complaints online about people using crawlers from one and one to steal material. One for example was stealing posts of a college music professor who had made a blog for his students to communicate with him in. Not only did it steal the material but it put it into a "paid for content" style site asking for money.

Craziness!!

I did however discover that this topic is a repost of one from June of this year and I just didnt find it in my original search.
