My first post regarding the code theft: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=597125

The owner and admin of www.india-forums.com replied today:

I am going to reply to this right here, anybody who reads it and thinks that Vijay is lying piece of shit please go to www.india-forums.com, register, and post a link to this topic all over his site.

My dear little thief!
Not only that you have illegaly altered my code by removing the required signature and are thus using it illegally by violating the acceptable usage policy, you are also illegally making money with my code, by adding Google ads! 26000 thousand times!
Now, since you think you are a smart guy, let me prove you the opposite, let me also prove that you are a liar and a thief.
Until yesterday 'your' newsbot posts looked exactly identical to the SfD newsbot posts (Yes, wiseguy, we took SCREENSHOTS):
I am using IF Forum post number 138672 as an example here.

Suddenly, not even a day after I have accused you of illegally using my code and violating copyrights, the link on bottom says 'read more' instead of 'read the full story'. Also 'IF Newsbot' was added. http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=138672

Not a big deal, one would think. And where is the proof that the screenshot was not altered? Well, wiseguy, there exists a thing called GOOGLE CACHE.
As a programmer who absolutely hates code thieves, copyright violators and similar scumbags who are making money from the work of others, I have added some mean little code that identifies the SfD newsbot as my work.
The code I added is absolutely unique and it does not make any sense. Its only purpose is to identify thieves and liars with dead certainty. Because this code is showing up in the source code of every newsbot post, as a html comment, one does not need to have admin access to IF Forums webserver, a simple browser is all one needs to check wether that code exists or not.
The genuine identification code I added to the SfD newsbot script:
Where (isNumeric(Stint) & CBool(intnewsbot)) = True '**'
Guess what? Open http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:V3JdpsNOQqsJ:www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp%3FTID%3D13867 2 (The Google cache version of the IF Forum post) and check the source code. Search for MY secret little code in the source:

Yes, it is right there! How comes that MY unique identification code is showing up in the source code of a page of IF Forums, about which the admin Vijay said: 'India Forums.com has not checked your code or copied any part of it. We rely upon our own programming strength to code this.'
Well, because Vijay the admin IF Forums and his amazing 'developer team' downloaded my code, illegally tried to remove any traces to SfD in the code (where they miserably failed), and started using it as their own work, even making money with it. Plenty of money!
Today the source of the page on the IF forum looks like this, after I posted on IF Forums yesterday. Vijay and his team have checked the code, found my little secret code, removed it from 26000 newsbot posts and now he is boldly claiming that IF Forums developed it.

Funny, suddenly my secret code is missing.
So, my little thief and liar, you have used my SfD newsbot script illegally for at least 26000 thousand times, massively violated the copyright and made illegally money through Google ads with thousands and thousands of ad clicks that you generated with MY code.
You have 24 hours from now on to reply right here. If I don't like your reply, your webhost will be informed, the Google Ads department will be informed, and I will, like you suggested, seek legal counsil. Not only because you have deliberately violated copyrights, but also because you owe me,and therefore SfD, money.
