Hardly a good basis for starting a forum.

If you're all about SEO/SEM then shouldn't you be able to start a forum from scratch rather than employing underhanded tactics in order to create a falseness for new visitors?

Also I'd hope that none of the posts you have transferred over to your new sites contains any artwork/designs etc created by any users here as you then begin treading steps on copyright infringement.
