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

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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?

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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!

Ooh, I like Brian Tyler!
Just looked him up (I know him from Children of Dune), he's done mostly film, couple of TV shows. That explains the cinematic feel of his music.

Nyah nyah. I'm having lunch with Drive writers today.
After a day at the spa.
I'm so fucking Hollywood.
