Just checking, you do realise that it is an MIT article that MyBB is republishing (with full attribution)?

I. Electronic media

MIT News, a Web site run by the MIT News Office, offers RSS feeds for syndication purposes. All MIT News stories republished on third-party sites must include:
At the top of the story: the headline, sub-headline, author's byline, and a citation of "MIT News" that links to the original story on the MIT News site;
At the bottom of the story: the words "Reprinted with permission of MIT News" and a link to the MIT News homepage (http://news.mit.edu/);
 
nope.
https://news.mit.edu/terms-of-use

Certainly not ethical either putting it on the main site for the sole purpose of making money of their work.

I followed the link on MyBB's news site (https://mybroadband.co.za/news/gadgets/205320-a-faster-single-pixel-camera.html) and saw that MIT News is the source of the article and at the end of the content there is a link to the article on MIT's site.

I agree with both of you that MIT News' republishing conditions are only partially adhered to by MyBB, I expect this has a lot more to do with the CMS that MyBB uses and that would need to be changed to include the subheading, exact author's name, and other missing republishing details.

That does not make it right. But then what do you expect from a site that generates no original content at all. It is my experience that it is only when people discover how annoying it is when other people steal their work that they get concerned about little things like copyright protection and giving proper attribution etc.
