I love how they copy our boards too. For example, in the "Switcher Hangout" board, we have:

Switcher Hangout - A great place to find out how to do something on the Mac that you did in windows. General support can be had here for newbie stuff, like "How do I restart my new iMac?" :)

Wow, that really looks hilarious. They went to the trouble of re-making a logo and copying all the forums over... to just be full of spam?

So ridiculous. Either the title of a thread is complete gibberish or an advertisement.
