I was perusing dotgeek.org and noticed that on the right hand side of their page they have a link to
'http://php.dotgeek.org/'. This subdomain is
an unofficial mirror of php.net. While that in iteself isn't so bad, I find they break the
spirit of PHP by showing their logo in the 'This mirror sponsored by' area and at the
bottom they have the 'This mirror generously provided by:' text. They make it out as if
they are an official mirror and that you guys are thanking them for providing that mirror. That
isn't the case. They just provide this mirror as yet one more ploy to add content to their site
withot doing any real work.
