A quick update: the issue has been addressed by the site owner. Thanks again for the heads up.

I see that they wiped out all the LQ threads and others........

I'm curious (and confused) ... Is it *** not permitted *** for someone to copy forum threads from LQ to another site?

If not - Can someone point me to the Terms and Condition item that prevents this.



Thanks in advance!

[Note that I'm only speaking for myself, and not on behalf of LQ.org]IMHO I'd consider the key issue here to be with attribution. As a hypothetical example, it would be one thing for someone to include content on his/her own site that was originated elsewhere (as long as credit was given to the original source), but it would be another for that person to basically lift that content and paste it into their own site. To use an analogy from my student days, when it came to book report assignments, quoting someone else's work was fine as long as you referenced the original source in the footnotes, but quoting that same work without attribution would not be acceptable.
