I'm curious, what sort of background do you have, and what expectations do you have, that leads you to see this as a strange web site?

And what specifically is strange about this web site, or about this thread?



sort by: page size:

This site is very strange.

There's something really weird about that website... The language does sound interesting -- though.

"Weird, what web site even is that?"

What is this website, quite odd

I am on a strange website

Weird website.

I'm getting some 4chan style questions here and nonsensical things such as "Who attends your workshops" and "Did you ask the forums about your problem?".

What is this site supposed to be?


That's a weird website

You are not missing much. That's a… weird site, to say the least.

This is a site for American laypeople primarily, so yeah I do think it an odd choice.

Functionality is a bit lacking, but this site is certainly not lacking in its strangeness.

this site straight up weirds me out... that's all i got

i am in no way connected with this site and the people behind it. i just found this a few minutes ago, and i cant decide if i like it or not. or if i would use it or not. its such a weird idea!

Out of curiosity I spent a bit looking around this site and reading about it. What I found were half-truths, inconsistencies (at least one), broken links, somebody calls it a scam, somebody else calls it legit... very weird, I wouldn't buy into it.

I'm guessing that, in your case, there is a rather specific group of people interested in visiting a URL like that. As a student, I'm not terribly inclined to visit it, for instance, due to its questionable nature (apologies, but it does sound a tad scammy).

Wow what an odd site

I'm slightly unclear why this website exists.

This is a really weird URL.

Two problems with the site that I can think of:

(1) It's somehow 14 years old and this article is #1 on HN, but somehow I've never heard of it.

(2) I haven't been able to figure out what the site actually is, or what it does. I looked at the FAQ and the orientation page on the wiki, but I still have no idea what I want to accomplish by going to the site.
