It's not a word-for-word copy of our page, and is in fact much smaller, so I wouldn't normally bring it up, except... all it has in the way of main text is a single large quote from the FenWiki, with this note under it:

If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't this run into the same copyright issues that quoting from ATT on TVT would? I mean the licenses are incompatible in both directions, aren't they?
On the copyright thing, actually, for once, they are using CC copyright sensibly, specifically identifying the quoted material is under a certain license and thus is not reproducible for profit even when they were under a CC BY SA license.
As for our attention whoring troll friend, I'm willing to run the risk of us tossing him, burning his garbage down if need be, and him trying to spread the word we are just as bad as TVT. We have different standards than TVT, but we still have standards, and those who don't like it can fork us and do their thing or they can get used to our standards.
Here's a case in point from our True Tropes spinoff, where I exiled some idiot who kept trying to play the autism card and tried to use the religion card to butter me up:

Even Doc told the dude to grow up and quit expecting people to cater to his whims, autism or not.
