Here is the website in question for reference. Didn't they completely copy pokemondb.net? Are they affiliated with us? or is it shameful copying? Can Pokemaster take legal actions in this case, to shut down the copy?

I genuinely laughed reading your comments XD
Note. I browsed for theflyingjalapeno.com on my iPad, and I found it was fueled with more ads than here. Their goal was to make money, then, by copying this website. But how in the world will they actually make money with such an obscure domain name? it does not make sense. No average person would browse for flying jalapenos.

Firstly, everyone should stop visiting that site and definitely don't try logging in on there as it could be used to steal your passwords.

I saw this a while back in my site analytics, and thought nothing more of it since I assumed Google would have flagged it as spam/duplicate content. But it's strange that it appears in search results sometimes. Looks like they're basically just copying all the HTML code with a "scraper" program and changing pokemondb.net to their domain in all the links.

But I have a cunning plan!

I've added a bit of code to this site that will redirect you back here if you're on theflyinjalapeno. Hopefully their scraper will pick this up and anyone visiting there will end up here :D

Wow, it's so hilarious to show that a simple line of code can destroy a scrapers dreams.

Don't we all?
i did a wall test to see if your plan was successful and it was
