What is this forum even about???

I was doing some searching online and stumbled upon a site that looks identical to our forum, but it’s hosted at a different URL...

The problem is, I can't seem to log in there.

Could someone please clarify what is going on here? Is this a phishing attempt?😲

🤦 🤦

Facepalm. It’s not on you, it's on Orbis. This kind of thing shouldn't even be public knowledge, and I'm betting they'll scrub it ASAP.

(Orbis is just the hosting provider for this forum.)

There is also 😬

I'm curious, though... why wouldn't this be public knowledge? From where I'm sitting, it doesn't seem to reveal anything particularly sensitive. 🤷

Too risky to even talk about this one.

Clear your browser history and pray you don't get hit by the SOA! 😱

It’s not about the actual content. It’s just something that has absolutely nothing to do with almost anyone on this forum. Think of it like a janitor's closet in a local Target. The janitor isn't hiding anything scandalous in there, but that room still needs to stay closed to customers because it's none of their business.

The users don't care, but for the site owner, having it open is bad practice.

Ah, right. I actually thought there was something significant there. Thanks for clarifying. 🙂

Wait, isn't it Anderlon?

Anderlon is just some individual, while Orbis is the actual company providing the hosting services

Haha, okay, so it’s a company. I know we’ve got an admin here with a similar handle (just like Anderson), so I got a little tripped up since Anderson is the owner.
