I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

We have two odd videos from on the green screen set of 1x03 of Drive: [link]

The cars are on stilts! Wacky.

Whoa! How very strange.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Rant time: another Drive site has appeared, which has been doctoring the Drive wikipedia page, has signed up to our site yadada. Their 'news' page consists of a script which automatically finds any content to do with Drive, and puts it all on their site. Their forums are empty. Again, they've taken a name similar to our site (at least they've not called it the same this time).

It's begun. People are starting their own sites, which is actually great, but they're plastering them everywhere without anything actually on the sites. They even put it on Wikipedia before they had actually started the website.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Welcome to the internets, Kevin, where people rip off other people's content, don't attribute, hotlink, and call the complainers asshats.

Oh, I don't mind ripping off of content where it's attributed, and I'm not bothered about hotlinkin' as bandwidth is cheap as chips nowadays. Why they added their site to Wikipedia before they registered the domain I don't know.

Anyway, I suppose it's a good thing. People didn't bother with this stuff for The Inside, so I choose to believe it's a good sign.

OK. I'm confused. The only person I can find tinkering with the Wikipedia page was Error and his Another Drive News Blog. But you're saying there's another site, right?

Aye - www dot drivefanforum dot com

ETA: From the bios section: "Profiles and bios of the Suns Coaches, Players, and Cheerleaders"

It's look like a template for another site they've used but not finished adapting. Their sources are linked, also, so fair play. I'm pretty sure they tried putting it on Wikipedia, though, as I remember editing it out.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I prefer the term assclowns. I really have nothing. Just being cheeky.

Yeah, Kevin, it's fun. I've lost count of how many sites we've found that have taken text directly from Mars Investigations and used it as their own.

We did just now, however, get a request from a French site to translate our Mysteries section into French for her site, with appropriate attribution and linkage. It's nice when they ask!
