Yes, let's be realistic here.
The purpose of a backup (in this case) is to ensure file integrity during and after an unexpected loss or damage of data stored on a web server. If this web server were hacked, the data could be unexpectedly lost or damaged. To prevent the loss of files stored on a web server (on the internet), backed up files are kept offline and not connected to the internet. It's also important to recognize that hosting a website requires you to pay a monthly fee. An offline backup does not.
If this really is a "backup", MeepCraft has failed miserably at their attempt.
What website would you use if you were a phisher?
I would attack a website where diverse groups of people least expect me to be. As illustrated by multiple responses in this thread, nobody ever expected phishing attempts to come in the form of Minecraft forum duplicates.
Bigger website and community correlates positively with user protection and security.
Let me direct the question back to you: what website would you use if you were a phisher?

If this is (theoretically) a phisher, with no info, this would be a target. It's a small site with a large membership. Even if there is less than a hundred active players, there are thousands upon thousands of accounts - with emails. If it is a bot targeting sites based on member bases, our site has quite a large number and little security (we don't have a dev dedicated 24/7 to the site). So who knows, this could be a phisher, but I agree with all other posts, this is really strange.
I'd also like to add on that the information associated with the sites owner is probably false. If I was running a duplicate site without permission from the owner I would not use my real information. (Also phone number and address do not match up, and doing some snooping I found Sonya was behind several other sites that appear fishy)
