Yes - they look like they're trying to pass off usenet forums as their own.

oh? are you saying they copy/parse/whatever usenet threads to their web
format? i hadn't noticed, but reading a few messages, i noticed a sig that
was exactly a sig that would be seen only on usenet.

copying is a bit flaky, though some visitors don't realize news interface is
faster (with decent isp) than web interface (usually larded down w gifs,
scripts, etc, imo).
