Site copying Pokebase

Question

So, I was researching a question on the site on Google, and I came across this:
https://asks.world/en/12013/Which-pokemon-learn-tms-learn
Pretty standard run-of-the-mill Pokemon question... Until you realize that they literally copy-pasted the question and answer from this question:
https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/251638/which-pokemon-that-can-learn-tms-can-learn-the-least

Honestly I'm not sure whether this is something to be alarmed about or not but I thought I would bring it to the site's attention regardless since it's definitely out of the ordinary and concerns the site.

EDIT: Did a bit more digging and I realized that's not the only question they ripped from here; there are more. I won't post them all here, but this one straight-up references fondant, so it can't be a coincidence: https://asks.world/en/33754/Pokemon-learn-ground-type-move

I could have sworn I came up with those questions myself, but I suppose Askme could have asked them using my account and then brainwashed me.

Not really an important edit so I won't put it on the question but the more I dig into this site the crappier I realize it is.

Probably just random copy+pastes by users of the site if you can only find a couple incidents. Not much we can do about it, and not something you should concern about yourself too much :P

I doubt that's the case, as the general interface of their site is also pretty similar to ours... But crappy as it is, it seems to be doing it's own thing mostly independent from us, so I'll drop it.

It is a unanimously-accepted fact that the PokemonDB is superior to other sites in every way conceivable, so I don't think this is much of an issue. Some people who ask questions here might ask on another site for more answers, although it becomes weird when the questions *and* the answers are copied from this site. Oh well.

The reason the layout on that site looks so similar is that it uses the exact same software this site uses (Q2A), except without the custom theme PokeBase has. However I'm confident they've just copy-pasted our threads, since it would take a pretty massive vulnerability in the software if they were to able to duplicate threads automatically. Likely not something to worry about going forward, their site looks poorly moderated and very disorganised in general.

Probably not something to worry about, it looks like that site has a lot of spam and stuff. Since we had the questions first they will just be seen as "duplicate content" in search engines and the like so it's unlikely they would get any visitors from that.
