Yes jeremy, you are really evil with all of that sneaky registering windowsquestions.org 'only to lure innocent people who want an answer to their Windows question back to linuxquestions.org' :rolleyes:

That whole forum seems a bit strange... He calls himself 'your Admin' (for example, at one point, he says 'Enjoy your Administrator' which I found quite amusing).

Another site
 
There's also another site called windows-questions.org which looks like it's been around for a while. It also has the same look as the .com version, so maybe this is the out-of-the-box look for some Windows bb software.

Sadly, a brief search for "linux" on the .org site turned up results where:
This sort of thing is despicable & possibly illegal, and it only gives Linux a bad name.

Good links :) I hope that no one from here is trolling the boards - that wouldn't be very nice now, would it?

'linuxfan' appears to have been. However, I do think that the owner of that site was asking for it. In his first ever post on the forums, he starts raving about how LQ is evil, unfair and misleading.
I guess that 'linuxfan' must have earned the admin's respect though, since he replied to the troll, ending the post with 'Thanks. You’re Admin'. Strangely, that troll thread is still open, I would've closed it by now (here it is).

XavierP 12-30-2005 05:46 PM

Yeah, I'd've closed it too, that's the sort of question which should be asked ofline.

Haha, I'd like to see their hit log. :D Honestly, who would post on a forum with such strange posts?

*trying to be nice*

I guess the guy saw LQ and thought WOW! what a great site. I wonder if there is a similar great site for windows. (there is a special community thing with linux- but that's for another story) He goes to www.windowsquestions.org and find it points here- kindof disapointing I guess. So he starts windows-questions, liberally using the same good ideas as LQ.

Maybe I'm just biased, but I think linux users are nicer, more community driven (like the software) Hey, on LQ you could be answered by a guy who actually codes for the program you are having issues with, or maybe a distro maintainer, or some guy who writes the docos. The possibilities are endless, because of the open nature of the linux community.
