[http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=1159438](http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=1159438) I stumbled across this in a google search, and recognized **RealityChuck** ’s name. I saw a few familiar looking threads, there, when I looked at a thread listing. ---

More examples from the same site: [http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=1159129](http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=1159129) [http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=701106](http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=701106) [http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=1158831](http://en.jo1jo.com/vb2/showthread.php?t=1158831) - although this one doesn’t have a direct link on it to the original, I just read the original a couple of hours ago, and so recognized it as this one: [Why do some people mock the ones who are suicidal? - In My Humble Opinion - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=641732) That should be enough examples to establish it. ---

If you click on the top link in the site in the op, it takes you to some sort of arabic site. Very odd, and pointless as well. ---

I wouldn’t click on any of those links. Unfortunately unscrupulous operators gank content from legitimate websites all the time. Can’t fault them for their taste. 🙂 ---

I you are going to steal, steal from the best. I guess we should feel honored in some odd manner. ---

I clicked the first link, then looked at the person who posted it. I found this… Join Date: Nov 2010 Posts: 101,310 101,000 posts in 15 months? That gives new meaning to get a life. ---

I went to the root URL of the site, and it’s some appallingly constructed Arabic site that looks like it’s aiming to be the portal for Jordan. Some poor intern has probably been charged with creating an English-language messageboard and has been panicking for 15 months going “look boss, lots of content - see here, a fascinating thread: ‘RealityChuck, you’re an ignorant twat’.”
