ForumPromotion.net

It was up and running Yesterday for me however it was slow going. The webpage takes a while to load and then it crashes. As of right now, it's down again for me :(

However, just been informed that another user from FP has made another FP site

LINK: Forum Promotion - Best Webmaster, Admin and Internet Marketing Forum It's almost copy and past but it's not copyright RIght lol I have not joined and I won't join to be on the safe side. I know to the fact that Cam will be not happy, that's if he knows already LOL
Very weird. There are a few users from FP on there already although they could be fake too.

I wonder if someone thought they could copy it because it went down and they think it won't come online again
 
They have taken some of the names from FP and copied them there, nobody from FP is on that fake site.

I'd be afraid to click anything on that fake site. :eek:
 
Lol, been awhile since I saw someone pull off a fake copy site. They don't last long in my experience.
 
Someone is paying people to post there according to the latest intro post. Think someone is recruiting people from Bizdustry since they recently stopped the paid to post feature.
 
I sure miss Forum Promotion - I hope they get back online soon.
The second user on the fake site is a David and his an Admin.

pretty sad that they feel the need to plagiarise a site then be unique.

What happened was that there were two members of FP who created a forum and people posted on it and those posts were then merged into this new fake copycat forum. My name is on that new forum and I NEVER signed up on that forum, nor would I agree to post on something that was clearly designed to copy the original.

I don't mind promotion type forums, but ones that blatantly try to pretend to be another site is unethical.
 
It has not been up for that long and already it has 33 members, Yes I can see some are created as fake but others are not fake accounts.

Then again we all know Jason from FP and from looking at the site, account created and last logged into the site on the same day as together and yet has 44 content and last posted today Xd

Taken the advantages to grow and earn money and take FP traffic away while the main site is down.

@Lämmchen I know who the person is anyway. PM if you want to discuss. It's Alex. Ash has mentioned it also and he's right most members are also from Bizdustry.

Won't last and maybe he will close it down. what a wast of Xenforo money
 
Hello,

We are not affiliated with Forum Promotion and under jurisdiction have not copied, replicated, or violated any copyright laws for the domain and contents at "forumpromotion.net" Unless "Forum Promotion" was registered as a trademark, company, or registered by any official means besides a domain name, this alone does not fall under infringement. Furthermore, we have no affiliation with the web host being down on ForumPromotion.net and accept no responsibility for the owner's actions (Cameron Taylor).

The decision to merge prophpbb.net with ForumPromotion.co was due to a lack of Ad Revenue, and this merge was lawful and in line with privacy laws. Members can read our privacy policy here. In addition, there are no "fake users" on ForumPromotion.co, and all users registered legitimately on prophpbb and agreed to how the data would be used.

Furthermore, we plan to switch from ForumPromotion.co to ForumPromotion.com soon to make our brand more official. For those who are concerned, we are planning to rebrand to a different name as that's the moral thing to do, but we have chosen ForumPromotion for SEO reasons to help get us kick-started for the next months ahead.

I really hope our fellow competitor manages to resolve his hosting issues soon.

No, it’s not a hosting issue.

The other FP site is a wannabe site, and we are aware of it.

We own the other "wannabe" site @Ozzy47. Please can you read the above information that I posted - we are planning to re-brand to a unique identity once we have kickstarted through SEO channels on ForumPromotion.

I’m well aware of who owns it, it makes no difference to me. :)
Understood, as you directly don't own the .net domain. What I'd to mention, is that we own the .com and .co version of ForumPromotion and we are planning to change the forum name once we've ranked in SEO (helping us with the initial kickstart of the community on ForumPromotion.)

What does a domain extension have to do with anything? I am not concerned who owns what.

All I want is the real Forum Promotion to come back online.
 
You guys are welcome to discuss this as long as you want.

However, please remember 1) This thread is dedicated to the original Forum Promotion. 2) We are not a site to generate backlinks, please stop spamming a million links in your post.

Ill be back when the real community returns as I’m sure many will be. But if a viable alternative was presented I think there might be a real problem for FP is the downtime continues.

It is a great shame because the community is excellent over there.

We are doing all we can to get the site back up.
