does anyone know what this TBT copycat site is?

[princess.looking.for.frog]

so I found this site while trying to find the dates the spring shamrocks came out. It is a very empty looking copycat site of TBT, with the same like 5 people making threads. this feels super eerie...

the little links also send me to the real TBT site. it has the same software in use too so the navigation is the same. so does anyone know what this is?

Creepy is right... it's like a bad aggregator. I know there are bots that scrape tbt but wow.

I genuinely have never seen such a creepy site on the surface of the web in a while..

yikes. i’ve never seen that before and am usually not bothered by copycat websites, but the fact that literally every thread on there seems to have come from here is creepy as hell. i hate that.

Gosh, this is so creepy. Looking at It's not even an animal crossing forum, just a general one. My best guess is that it's a bunch of bots made to feel like there's activity on the site so people sign up, but it just feels creepy

There's something about this that makes me so uncomfortable. Almost like I stumbled upon something I shouldn't see. I don't know why this makes me uneasy, but it does.

This is seriously creepy. Don’t know why it is bothering me more than it should but it has my birthday thread copied on it

omg I just found this on there:

this has to be a bot, copying/pasting threads and posts from this forum. they made like 38 threads on one day. it's so weird lol.

Um, I just happened to see if there was a person with the username “Golly” here on TBT itself and it says their profile can’t be seen?…

Also, if this gets me into trouble, sorry about and just ignore my post here. Also, this is really weird…

Don't worry about this. It's just a bot. We've been aware of it for over a year now and we're not too concerned about it.
