Not me. It's run by some guy who spammed our site to plug his Drive board and then created a news blog with our site's name and news mostly culled from our site. Not that I'm bitter or grudge-holding.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

OK, see, yeah, I totally don't get that. Maybe it's the journalism background, maybe it's the fact that I have pride, or whatnot, but, frankly, if you don't have new things to add to the discussion, what's the point in having a site that's full of content ripped off from others?
Not that I'm speaking from very bitter experience or whatnot. After finding two official sites for other actors completely ripping off old layouts, coding, and wording from NB.com. Not at all.
I will say the part where he rips off the name of your site, though, is a new show of ballsy.
ETA: Dude! And I just noticed that he edited Drive's Wikipedia page to remove the link to your old Blogspot site and redirect "Drive News Blog" to his Wordpress site. Damn.

Dude, swapping out the URL but leaving the title is just nasty and low. Especially after he already got his hand slapped on the discussion page for the Wikipedia page for TV's hit Drive.
Who is this person? Do we know, or did they just show up one day?

Someone who aptly calls himself Error. Haven't seen him around before about a week ago.
Totally changing the link back. And then I'm taking a big step back.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I deleted him/her from Drive Fans the other day, as he was posting all over the forum on random topics linking to his own site. I don't mind people using our site to link their own sites when it's relevant -- there's a few people doing this and it's been quite useful to all on the site, in fact -- but he/she keeps spamming everything with their site for no reason.
So, yeah, after deleting them? They rejoined again. And started spamming again. I've noticed because of all the spamming they are doing on the interweb, they're climbing on the Google ratings -- searching for 'Drive series' finds their site before DF or DTR now, for example.
Hooray!

Search for "Drive fan site" though and we're unbeatable. Unless you count, y'know, the other four sites listed before us.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Simplify to "Drive Fans" and you're at the top. Followed by hardware.

Search for "Fox Drive" and you get a really exciting result.
