Long time readers of our site back when it was <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20041127034936\/http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/\">The FAT Website<\/a> will remember a site that went up called Bangkingz which was a total rip-off of the layout and format of our site. Which is understandable since we&#8217;re pretty groovy and who wouldn&#8217;t want a piece of the action by totally pretending to be us.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">There&#8217;s been a smattering of copycats since then, most recently some site called MarcosOwnsMe or something. I can&#8217;t remember the address. Maybe try adding a dot com on there. Well, I found another copycat today. Or should I say, a carbon copy. Someone has taken our whole site and stuck it on their server. I have no idea why. They don&#8217;t even change our names or anything. And it&#8217;s very up to date. Weird eh. <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20041127034936\/http:\/\/pack.soksok.jp\/y\/.d86f\/\">Check it out here<\/a>. I have no idea what to make of it. It&#8217;s hosted on some Japanese porno server called &#8216;Sok Sok&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">To give you an idea of the numbers we&#8217;re doing these days, we&#8217;re averaging around 600 unique visits a day which is about as good as we&#8217;ve ever done. I didn&#8217;t really want to bring this up until I felt it was safe because Polly accused me of public slander. I told her it was nonsense and that &#8216;no one read the site except for me and a couple of friends&#8217;. On Good Friday, the day things went sour, for some reason we did astronomically well and garnered nearly 900 unique visits that day. Ssssh. I think it&#8217;s okay to say this now as I assume she&#8217;s stopped reading the site.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Not very entertaining referrals. Here&#8217;s some:<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Olsen Twins, male g-spot, filthy sanchez, filthy whore.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">I&#8217;m assuming most of these are through Google. Funnily enough, they are all accurate searches. We have material on all the above searches.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Probably the most notable search was some people or more likely one person, searching for info about Polly. There were a couple of searches for &#8220;Edo Polly&#8221; and &#8220;Polly Leddar&#8221; and sure enough, if you type both in Google with the quotation marks attached, our site comes up first.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">I did a search in Google for &#8220;Edo Inoue&#8221; (with quotation marks) and hooray, I still come up first. In fact, I come up in the first few results including one where Justin calls me a genius &#8220;&#8230;like Rod&#8221;. Unfortunately, clicking on the link reveals an email I wrote to Justin when I first came to Perth where I didn&#8217;t know how to cook anything and I was complaining about having to eat noodles all the time. Not much has changed really.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Best of all, searching for myself on Google unconvered this little gem. It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20041127034936\/http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/Colosseum\/Sideline\/4839\/dose1.html\"> the history of our site as written by Dan! <\/a>. Good stuff.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Generally, I avoid doing these posts too often as talking about hits and stuff seems to jinx our writers in to months-long writer&#8217;s block. Oh well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a numbers and figures post. Now, then.
