I did some googling and found this:

http ://w ww.netshaq.com/cgiproxy/nph-proxy.cgi/011100A/http/drupal.org/

what's up with that?

Change the 'drupal.org' with another url, and you will get ads sticked on another site.

This proxy script is for anon. proxy. But... who knows really.

I imagine this is what hell will be like for the unlucky among us. We still get to visit Drupal.org but it's filled with smiley ads that introduce serious usability issues.

I've noticed the same when I googled "Poker Portal". Our site, http://ak47.dk (which run on the Drupal core), has also been sucked in by netshaq.

Jeez...

It might be wise for people running sites with user accounts, to set up an IP block of Netshaq.

Another issue is that this kind of mirroring can diminish the rank of the main site on Google and the other SE's.

Well... it will be a bad for Google. Not for drupal.org really.

Don't click on that link. The ads in it might not be safe for work.

It occured to me that Drupal .org itself might accidently skew some search results, so I broke all the links.
