I've been searching around and came across this website: ubuntuask.com

Disregarding the obvious similarity in the domain name, from what I can see, all their data is copied from Ask Ubuntu.

For example, check the question: How to NOT become a root user? Are administrators root?

  • Here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/245201/how-to-not-become-a-root-user-are-administrators-root
  • There http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-how-to-not-become-a-root-user-are-administrators-root-245201.html

But in that website, I do not see any of the questions/answers being referred to Ask Ubuntu. In fact, I searched around that website, I cannot see a single mention of AskU buntuAsk Ubuntu unless the OP of a question or an answer explicitly mentions it.

And, although all external links keeps redirecting to the correct page eventually (First you need to go through some form of an ad page), all links that should link to Ask Ubuntu, are modified and they all link to www.ubuntuask.com.
