My site has been cloned..what should I do?

[kingeric]

I have a very popular game site at http://www.gamepapa.com
recently I found two sites that have cloned my site at


http://www.heshan18.com/dmirror/http....com/index.php
http://www1.dongtaiwang.com/cgi-bin/.../gamepapa.com/

1, How did they get my code?
2, Should I be concerned and what should I do?

Don't worry.

It's a script everyone uses, they didn't clone you.

Hope you didn't think you were going to be the only one with that site when you purchased it!

Yes I know the script is very popular...Its j0n script.
But my site has been cloned..If you look at the site it contains all my links and personal info...even my domain name.
I did some research an found that these sites might be a way for school kids to use my site on a banned network, because my site has been banned at some schools to keep kids from from playing games while at school.
I guess I should be happy...they sending me some traffic

You won't be happy when the duplicate pages get you removed from every search engine known to man...

Yeah, Google will likely have to remove most of their database, including their own site if that's the case.

they havent cloned your site, the links:

http://www.heshan18.com/dmirror/http....com/index.php

and

http://www1.dongtaiwang.com/cgi-bin/.../gamepapa.com/

all they are is proxy web browsers, eg dnforum:

http://www1.dongtaiwang.com/cgi-bin/...w.dnforum.com/

they are most likey using a proxy browser so that they can view your site while at school. this will not effect your search results or anything

Thanks stevey,
Someone else at another forum explained to me the same about proxy web browsers. I feel better now
