Power hungry spammers and plagiarists have also added RISING POWER to list of censored sites

Someone tell the guy over there to man up or grow up. The guy's stupidity knows no bounds!

I was thinking of adding a gifting topic for this Christmas

acdcfan$ : books Plagiarism 101 & free ad blocking software for their members,anyways acdc.com will have their site and new forum up and running by the time the tour starts and that will bury that cheap flea pit in five days. acdc facebook page only got to sneeze and they get 15,000 likes how long have fan$ has their facebook page now? looks like they are knda low on popularity

They are too obsessed with us and Rising Power to notice fine little details like that, they could always pull another publicity stunt like the setlist fiasco, oh hang on, their setlist facebook page managed to get 23 likes in two years...maybe not such a good idea then

Oh and get this... they are always bemoaning RP for name calling yet they don't see anything wrong with CHEATING and STEALING

The fact that we are on the same line as RP is probably where the similarity ends. I think the serious fan that runs that site may think there aren't enough AC/DC fans to go around. He is an unctuous sycophant and a very creepy person - and that's about all you can say.

The reason he has issues with us, and has this vendetta thing going on, is that we didn't join his anti-setlist crusade. There are many ways to express your disapproval for the setlist and running around the internet like schoolyard bullies - essentially announcing to the entire world that you don't have a life - is not one of them. He saw the situation as an opportunity to get publicity and took it. If they are 'serious fans' they would know how to contact the band's representatives ;)

I've actually seen people post links to our content in his forum which he then copies and rewrites on his site and he then switches the link to point to his copied content. As an administrator of a site, that's about as low as you can get. In fact I've seen links to other AC/DC site's removed, so it's not just our site. And here's the kicker: he monetizes our content on his site that we provide ad-free for the enjoyment of fans. We don't earn a single cent from fans landing on our pages.

The internet is a great informational tool, but it has also become the vehicle of choice for people to get carried away with a sense of their own self importance, and unfortunately that site is an example of that. All the software he uses on that site are totally free, Wordpress, Vanilla forum software and a couple of bucks for hosting each month, anyone can throw up a tin-pot site like that in less than 30 minutes without any skill whatsoever. Get some ads up there and a forum full of attention seeking kids who don't know any better, and you have acdcfans website.

I'm going to close this topic off for now as there isn't much else to add and it is distracting from the subject of the forum which is AC/DC - the greatest rock band ever.
