Yes, they copy real forums to get listed in search engines, and then fill the page up with their own ads.

Yup, they're definately using bots to copy posts onto their site so that they can make money from the ads. We've run into that a few times. It's a PITA to get shut down, and last time cost me a laywer, but it was a little too much like this site and worth it. I'll send them a nastygram and see if they're willing to do the right thing.
