It has been suggested that this site is simply to avoid censorship in certain countries when this site has been brought up previously, however it could be a phishing site. Either way, I would highly suggest not logging in or posting from there as your login details could easily be intercepted and your account stolen if their motive is malicious.

I sort of knew that would have been the case but how could it have all the data of BCT ?
and also all accounts info too ?

They could be just scraping the source code from this site then editing the login form to somewhere that they could control it. This is of course speculation, but I wouldn't trust the site for anything more than read-only purposes.

There are many bitcoin forums on internet, but the most popular one is bitcointalk.org

yes there are many but this particular forum (in OP) is an exact duplicate ,a scam attempt probably.

forum.bitcoin.com is also good option, there are many members registered in short time
looks like this site is full of people who avoid the censorship about bitcoin XT

i doubt that more than 20% bitcoin users even know what is XT  and all that and as we come to traffic it is because of signaturing , some helpful legendaires and Satoshi.

Without any doubt https://bitcoin-forums.net/index.php is a wholesale clone copy of bitcointalk.org

Yeah this could be phishing one especially when you log in using your btctalk account username and password, you could just say goodbye to your account.

This is a real time clone copy of bitcointalk.org and it should be avoided at all cost if you care about your btctalk account.

there are quite a few websites that imports posts from this forum out there.

I saw that site come up a few times in searches.  Found it odd how it was almost if not exactly alike this one. Never used it thank goodness.

It acts as a mirror of this site, displaying all the posts here to their site. The website would then appear with Bitcointalk.org when someone searches for it. If people does click on it, they can generate ad revenue or they can just be a phishing site. It is not official so I would recommend against going to any of those sites.

If people does click on it, they can generate ad revenue or they can just be a phishing site the website cannot generate any ad revenue because it also displays btctalk ads but btctalk admin should see it as a threat because you dont know their plan.

[FaucetWorld]

Wow! It is exactly mirror of Bitcointalk! But how the hell they can be so actual?! Posts made here (Bitcointalk) in live time we can see there.. just after few seconds. For sure it is made to still Bitcointalk accounts!

do you know who you are talking about ? theymos hardly visits the forum for ad revenues .
still, i thought it could be an advice for the people to stay away from it.

They probably just mirror Bitcointalk and update their website with the exact html files of Bitcointalk.

I think the site might be phishing, since it exactly mirrors bitcointalk.

Whois the website to get more informations and made a quick search with their phone number
Apparently it is associated with RaeburnFinancial.com & wsocompagn... It has registered with the same phone number and the same city (panama) and many complaints about its scam...
