It's come to my attention that there is a new fake Petopian forum website, it can be located at
http://www.wow-petopia.proboards.com, I found it while Google-ing.
Thank you, let's deal with this while we can.

It looks like they are copying the boards' names directly from the Petopian forums, and it is starting to look more like the real website. I suggest making an account and talking to the person, moderators who may see this. If not, I may do it myself.

He/she is now seeming to copy threads off of Petopia, including some of the forum rules, and Jessibelle's thread about the new cross-faction dungeon feature.

... and yes, it just goes to show that for some people, there is no line to which they wont cross. It's a real shame acutally, I hope there is something that can be done regarding this distasteful doppelganger.

Don't call it a scam unless there is an actual scam involved. It's curious, but not a threat. Not yet, if you will.

This must be a very disrespectful person to be copying every board, and some posts off of Petopia without even... er.. giving credit!!! I hope she doesn't delete your post or anything Spirit, but I guess that doesn't matter so much because at least she will have seen it.

I'm sure it's someone who reads these forums and is just trying to stir things up. Very poor taste.

BHAHAHAHA, "very different"? Um I don't think so.
EDIT: Excuse me that sounded a bit crazy, go lookey here and you'll understand;

I'd be careful clicking the links around/to there just in case it's a purpose fake to try and give keyloggers or something.

My man yelled at me for it soon as I showed it to him and I went "D'oh!" and figured I would pass it along here. XD

I don't think it would have any... whatnots when you click the link (bah viruses or whatever?) because I've actually used ProBoards to make a forum before, it's really easy and safe. I'm assuming some stupid person was bored and decided to play a joke. Sigh ._.
