Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I’ve forwarded this to the mod loop and Ed. (I’ve always wondered if the Dope was accessible from censured countries and if this was a possible solution to sneak us under the radar. But we have posters from and in China posting, so it would seem that we are open pretty much everywhere.) ---

I joined the board, and took it for a spin. They apparently have nothing against zombie threads, so I posted to the one entitled, “Moderator You’d Most Like to Wed.” [QUOTE=Quizot Wen Jiabao] I’d most eagerly choose matrimony with Chiung-wei. Her gotlet chicken is said to be of the highest flavor value. [/quote] Then I started my own thread: “ **Convince me that Chinese knock-offs aren’t just as good**.” ---

These are from like 10 years ago. There’s nothing we can do about it, can’t prevent it. The content is just space filler for them, they don’t even know or care. ---
