The second site completely copied the question and answer with different usernames

Nah, I think it's all the same people asking the exact same question and answering the exact same way on 2 different sites.

Seriously though, that's weird.

There's sites out there that copy content in order to appear real (either to google, or visitors), so that their ads and such seem more legit.

I have found a few of my blog post on chinese sites before. Even after deleting them here...

holy crap...blew my mind..Yahoo might be dispatching spambots

I think there's a forum plugin that will take a Yahoo Answer question and post it on the forum. Which will help the forum gain more members.

EDIT: I did some research and this forum is certainly using a fake member generator which steals content from Yahoo Answers.

Same here, I have even found my threads on facebook.

Actually there are few sites out there that copy form GBAtemp all the time, then even leave the links and everything.

That is messed up.

Well, if you're going to copy from a comedy goldmine, Yahoo Answers is a pretty good choice.
