Content thieves
Yes, I am aware that there’s a website called GunCrunch stealing my content in some sort of link farm aggregation thing. They’re stealing others’ stuff too.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

If I could figure out where the aggregator was coming from, I could seed their reader with a bunch of garbage.
Sadly, they don’t hit my blog often enough for that to show up on the radar.

They have snagged the entire lineup from Caleb and Shelley from gunnuts media. Maybe a compare with their data prove fruitful?

Almost clicked the link. Decided not to.

DMCA take-down request to their ISP, perhaps?

I setup http://www.gunbloggers.com after the old gun blogger stats/feed aggregator keeled over (I forget the exact name at the moment, he used to have different ranks for the blogs based on links). I did it to provide a service to the community that had come to depend on. I started with the original list and added those I feel are unique enough to be interesting.
In my case I made sure that:
* All posts are attributed with links back to the post, the author and the blog.
* Only the first 1k or so of a post is used, and the only data it uses is RSS feed data, not screen-scraping the original blog.
* No advertisements.
* If you want to be removed, just say so.
* Minimal impact on the sources, I update the site every 15 minutes, and RSS feeds are checked every 3 hours.
It looks like the site you linked to is trying to disguise the sources, even though it links to the original post it doesn’t have any attribution.
