Pistonheads threads appearing as other random fora?

[mat777]

Searching for one or 2 threads recently in google, I was very intrigued to see them appear verbatim on some other websites such as "porsche forum uk" or something similar, and "trackdays.co.uk". Are these domains owned by PH and used as a forum backup or something?

porkers and trackdays are skinned versions of PH forums. There's quite a few of them, http://www.hsv.org.uk/ is another

Ah I see. What is the idea behind running skinned versions of PH?

People browsing at work?

Historical, I think...

They merely provide another route for people to talk about your fashion sense.

Sorry but i don't understand this.

Surely your boss seeing you browsing HSV & Monaro/Trackdays forum is no different from your boss seeing you browsing Pistonheads?! You're still going to get a bking no matter what.

What's the point?

It's incase PH gets blocked by the IT bods; it gives you another way in as such!

Oh right, i can see the reason they did this now.

It would be rather good they could make a blank skin on the normal website to hide that fact that the user is on a motoring website. Without the PH logos the gassing station looks quite innocent!

Surley that could be easily done? Seems like a good idea to me.

Try the new Mobile (Beta) skin. Very plain & simple
