_why's site updated

  • From the about page:

    > NOTE: For some reason, I’ve been getting a LOT (like more than 1, which is a lot for me considering how long this site has been going) of messages from people asking me if I’m some kind of famous programmer called #why from Pittsburg or something.

    > Whilst I wish I was this famous and did get this much attention, unfortunately I’m not. I’m just a dude trying to turn his life around and take a bit of control over what’s going on.

    > In saying that, please feel free to send me any gifts that you were going to send this dude and I’ll be more than happy to have them :-)

    Not sure if trolling, but it doesn't sound like _why.

  • This doesn't seem like THE _why, and according to wikipedia, it isn't.

    On 5 January 2013, _why's site[7] was found to be back online,[8] though as of October 2013 it was only serving a blank page.[7] In March 2014, the site re-launched as the personal blog of an anonymous individual from Australia with no apparent connection to _why. Apparently not being aware of the site's previous owner, the new owner notes on his contact page that he has received a lot of mail asking if he is "some kind of famous programmer called #why from Pittsburg or something"

    Whilst I wish I was this famous and did get this much attention, unfortunately I’m not. I’m just a dude trying to turn his life around and take a bit of control over what’s going on.

  • That doesn't sound or look like _why...

    Someone must have hijacked the domain?

    Well, unless this is some kind of epic troll attempt by _why... But even as a troll it doesn't strike me as his style.

  • The moment the header image rotated to one which was a different height and made the content move around as I was trying to read it, I knew it wasn't _why.

  • Someone bought the domain and is using it. Old news.

  • _why seems to have lost his edge.
