What is this alternate site?

So i found this site [url]https://wallhere.com[/url]

This site has a exact same user as me alongwith all of the exactly same wallpapers i have uploaded, even the ones that got deleted here for low quality are present there.

My Account on wallhaven: @mashenod The user listed on the above site: [url]https://wallhere.com/en/user/72868[/url]

No details of the user are particularly provided, nor any other info such as the source. I didn't even know that this site existed so the user is definitely not me.

Can anyone tell me if this is a sister site of wallhaven.cc or something, do they have any link?

I suspect it's a mirror site for when the site was going to be wiped at the end of the alpha, allowing people to go find old content.

Of course it looks like the wipe will only be a partial one now, but yeah...

A emergency mirror site probably wouldn't be public.. this is weird

Gandalf what do you say my lord?

It has nothing to do with wallhaven, just a clone.

It was a weird feeling seeing someone stealing both my username and almost every uploads.

Even I'm there, and all except a bunch of my latest uploads are there, so this is fairly recent.

if I already knew the site but it's not me they cloned me the profile

Yes spotted this a while back. My guess is, its a site that scrapes (steals)all the images from this site. Probably serves ads too (not sure, I use an adblocker). Stealing a load of bandwidth in the process. Pretty sad and morally wrong yes, but what can be done about it?

AntiStar Sad :[ But there are some uploaders who have their original content here , isn't it a violation then ? Maybe they can do something about it.

Obseek I know right, it feels weird in a way..

My profile has been copied too... Gryda // [url]https://wallhere.com/fr/user/1193[/url]

My insides feel violated

Im in the cloned club [url]https://wallhere.com/en/user/73[/url]

same gamenoob13

Failed to clone our profile pictures though. I wonder if its possible to login to those accounts. I don't want to try it though because I don't want to give them my main email which is what I've used here. I'm sure our account info here is still secure and that those are most likely inaccessible accounts. I don't know where I'm going with this...I feel icky.

I think my profile is cloned in this site as well. I never heard of it before

I see that I have an account there. What can the users here do about it? I am obviously changing my password for now.

I mean I dont think its a big deal really? Someones making copy pasta of this entire website, sucks but whatever, devs will deal with it if its worth it. Also they probably don't need to log into your account to 'clone' it. They only use name + uploads.
