Thank you mod. Your service is of great value! Let no one tell you otherwise!
It's amazing that you get around to doing so much.

You're welcome of course, I've mentioned this post in the mod staffroom, they may think it's fine to re-instate this post.
Thanks Props. Really happy to have a bunch of moddies take a considered look.
Just jumping in on the conversation...
I totally agree that this post has some excellent discussion going on. However, I have major concerns about links being included to the site in question. Had they not been included, I would not have had any objections to the post staying up. As a mod, though, it is our job to think of the best interests of the group, as a whole. Having seen anons do and try just about everything under the sun, it is inevitable that a few anons will attempt to visit this site. It's a tough call, but in light of the links being freely available, I think it is best not to repost this.
Thank you Wulf. Having the multiple input really helps to make the decision based, (imo) and it also makes it both easier to embrace (by me) but also getting the mod perspectives helps me to expand my frame of reference.
One idea that popped into my head is to do a post that takes the techniques and strategies employed in the discussion, and write that up as a generic "how to...." in terms of verifying, identifying, approaching questionable websites (i.e. fake, not what they appear). A sort of debunking case study. This could be done without any specific reference to this or any other website, using unidentified examples.
That said, wow, this website is extremely dasting from a research perspective. After going through an examination from various angles, it was a little mind blowing to arrive at the dude who did a whole write up on it.
I'm not too saavy in the ways of web design or data theft, code manipulation, but I can understand that potential might exist here. So happy to defer to the modclusion. (That's "mods' conclusion". Coined, April 2025.)
