    In addition to the Mac-Forums Community Guidelines, there are a few things you should pay attention to while in The Lounge.

    Lounge Rules
    • If your post belongs in a different forum, please post it there.
    • While this area is for off-topic conversations, that doesn't mean that every conversation will be permitted. The moderators will, at their sole discretion, close or delete any threads which do not serve a beneficial purpose to the community.

    Understand that while The Lounge is here as a place to relax and discuss random topics, that doesn't mean we will allow any topic. Topics which are inflammatory, hurtful, or otherwise clash with our Mac-Forums Community Guidelines will be removed.

mactalkforum.com WHOIS domain registration information from Network Solutions

My guess is its some kind of scam. They're hoping that having just a few Mac related topics about popular subjects will boost their pagerank and possibly drive searchers into their ads. If the domain was owned by an individual rather than a company, I'd suspect it's just laziness or a poorly configured forum.

That makes sense. It just seems a bit weird to copy all of iNet's forums.

It's also laziness, some of their forums are just a vanilla vB install with the default logo, skin, and board layout ("Main Category" and "Main Forum").
