Oh yeah, I'm not trying to imply anything about the
motivation behind the site. But it is very broken, it
*is* private (not on Wikimedia servers), and I still
don't think it reflects well on Wikinews.  

To be honest, what I am angling for here is for
something approximating a polite "cease and desist"
message from the board to the operator of the site.
