Wtf! Why do people do that?! >:(

In this case? Probably to generate content on their journal, get a high hit-count and tell advertisers "this is a really popular site! Advertise here!" Then the advertisers pay to place their ads somewhere lots of people visit. Except right now, the only people visiting are checking to see if anything of theirs has been taken and posted there. They've had to take down the works of over 50 people today, including all 97 on my posts. Hah. Serves them right!

Does anyone know a hacker who could crash their page....?

Sadly, I don't. We really could use Tosh right now. My stuff has been removed, along with the posts taken from at least 150 other journals, but the individual behind this still refuses to recognise that what they're doing is wrong, and still hasn't stopped.

I believe someone is still valiantly trawling through the posts on the website, informing the LJ users that their posts have been re-posted elsewhere without their knowledge.
