Tell them to stop blatant plagerism against our writers! The author stole the article and posted it as our own. Write to them and let them know (over and over) until they either source us or take it down (or call themselves utter douchbags)

Done. Let me know if was too confrontational.

Nothing is. Nothing is my friend. The problem is, we quote every source we get for our news and take pride in our own exclusives, which is what a site needs to be known as a top-notch source.\r \r It's unethical and rude to take an entire article (notice the formatting is the same and all the images were ripped and uploaded to their wordpress blog). \r \r If you want to steal something word for word, format for format, image for image, you should learn to blog in a polite manner -- that way you get link backs to you someday for being a good blogger/writer.\r \r That's how we did it, that's how everyone started, so shall the way stay.

Should we digg the article via their own site, and leave digg comments to the effect that they plagiarised NoGame22's work, or is negative press still press?

no no, negative press isn't good. My link-back to them was bad enough. But my blog page doesn't have sufficient google page rank to really help them that much. As long as we don't paste it all over the place.

I buried their article on digg and left a comment with a link to the 2o2p original.

I'm a little disappointed in the timmyishness of some of the comments left. I agree that he shouldn't be plagiarizing work from this site, but let's at least handle it like the mature gamers we're supposed to be representing.
