OK I might be a fool but.....
http://www.richarddawkins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8649
And the website itself. It really Stinks to me!!!
This is a transcript of the thread what I wrote
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~dawkins/
Suggests that this is not the Official Richard Dawkins Website since he says he does not have one.
Perhaps you would care to remove the claim from your site or ask Richard to update his homepage at Oxford University.
Oh, and while I'm on the case please inform the webmaster that many of the pages claiming to be W3C compliant are not.
I suppose false claims are par for the course around here.
Regards
Mrs Pam
I used to be an Athiest.... until I met a real one.
______________________________________________
I would rather assume you were used to arbitrarily picking and choosing between two contradictory statements said to
be from the same source.
______________________________________________
Assuming things isn't very 'Richard Dawkins' now, is it?
It's not very arbitrary either. This is 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website' or it is not.
Based on the evidence provided by Richard Dawkins himself, and I quote from his homepage.
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~dawkins/
'I have no official web site.'
I am forced to reach the conclusion that this is in fact 'Not The Official Richard Dawkins Website'.
You might choose to ignore the evidence as presented and assume things. Getting all sophisticated over it does not add
any meaning to your words though. I believe you might use the phrase 'Try not to speak'.
As I say, perhaps the owners of this site should get in touch with Mr Dawkins and ask him to correct the blatent error
that exists on his homepage.
Kindest Regards
Mrs Pam
_______________________________________________
Why not ask Richard yourself and post your question in the "Post your Questions" sub-forum?
I suspect he's just forgotten about his Oxford Uni Homepage text.
But technically speaking you are correct. This is not the Official Dawkins Website, it is the Official Dawkins Web
Forum. The Official Dawkins Website is at:
http://richarddawkins.net/home
WW
_______________________________________________
Well I might but, how do I know I am talking to the real Richard Dawkins. I mean, call me a skeptic if you want, but
he doesn't seem to be to have been too active on 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website'.
Furthermore, if this is 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website' then why doesn't The Real Richard Dawkins list it as
such in his profile which, by the way seems to be lacking in any 'Richard Dawkins' type information.
If you wish to be technical.....
http://www.richarddawkins.net/forum
This must be the Forum on 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website'.
I think I'll wait until Mr Dawkins updates his Homepage...
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~dawkins/
to reflect the fact that this is 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website' and until then I will believe the evidence, as
presented, that it is not.
After all, The Real Richard Dawkins was probably issued a username and password for his Oxford University Homepage by
Oxford University and that carries a bit more credibility than anything that appears here.
Good Grief! My name isn't really Mrs Pam.
Best
Mrs Pam

Excellent 'Occam's Razor'... something like 'Based on the available evidence the simplest solution is most likely to
be the correct one'. So, this Is Not 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website'.

Oh, so it is no longer 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website' it is now 'An Official Richard Dawkins Website'. Does
this mean there is some sort of franchise or endorsement involved?

~kleindoofy,
Well...... I'm suggesting it is a Scam Website. You know, like those Scam Bank Websites you lot deal with.
I thought that maybe, with your wealth of experience, you might check it out and see if you thought it smelt. And then..... maybe contact someone who could do something about it.
Of course if you wish to be selective about what you sniff then I won't complain. After all it isn't really a proper 419 scam now is it?

Whoops,
Sorry about my excitement.., wipes sarcasm from dripping brow.
In case you don't know Richard Dawkins is that bloke From Oxford University in Engerland who is going about being famous by arguing against the basis of religion.
He is almost famous.

Is this "Richard Dawkins" website soliciting for money/donations or some other business scheme, or is it being used by scammers to convince victims of their bona fides? If not, while it may be fake it's not really a scam? There's a lot of people out there who strongly disagree with Dr Dawkins and his ideas so perhaps the site was set up by one of his 'fans' just to cause aggro? |

@kleindoofy,
Blimey, do you have to practice at killing enthusiasm or does it come natural like?
If this is piss and you only deal with shit try redirecting me to a place that deals with piss instead of the fruit shop. Sheesh.
It doesn't take too much to go look before you thrash your keyboard.
Now, please, go ban me already.
@Gnasher,
I believe it is attempting to solicit donations, look at the Foundation section from the home page, under the pretense of being a charity. Also it is claiming to be 'The Official Richard Dawkins Website' to convince people of their bonafides.

It looks too slick and it is not anti-Dawkins...... |

I don't see anything that really makes me think "scam" anywhere there. The site that claims he doesn't have an official site was last modified in late 2000 (enter 'javascript:alert(document.lastModified)' in the address bar while on that site) so it's probably just outdated information.
I actually think the guy is trying too hard to be inflammatory and strongly disagree with his viewpoints, but I'd say that site it legit. |

Great, thanks. Being unclever, I did not know how to do that one.
It raises doubts.
Yo, Donato..... I looked, I didn't know, I asked.
Perhaps my way of asking was OTT and I thrashed about.
Whatever.

Delete what account? If you don't think some of the responses are helpful then you could ignore them and wait to see if someone will respond with something more to your liking. |

From a bank killing point of view, I don't see anything on that site that would indicate it needs to be targeted by us under the umbrella that it is involved in advance fee fraud.
It may well be a spoof site of this Dawkins character- if so, you could always contact somebody at the real Dawkins site and make them aware that this site is taking donations in his name. |
