out that another site is archiving them as well with props shouldn't

be that surprising.

I will say this: There are no "props" on a site that rewrites urls to its own domain and provides no links to the source. (The only d.o links I can find are embedded within the posts themselves.) It's scraping. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping

It may not be a problem for a community like Drupal, with open licensing etc., but it's still inappropriate internet etiquette, imho.

Also, as there has been so much pushback against balkanizing Drupal discussion in different areas, I wonder how people here feel about forked discussions on a 3d party site.

Sites like Nabble are a peeve of mine (and many other folks), but if the community here doesn't have a problem with scraped, forked discussions, so be it. Next topic.
