| Aug 27, 2013 at 14:17 | comment | added | DeadMG | @Servy: There certainly are substantial problems with cplusplus.com. There was a big question/answer about how terrible it was that ended up being removed due to off-topic or something. The bottom line is that information from cplusplus.com cannot be trusted to be accurate. | |

| Aug 27, 2013 at 14:03 | comment | added | Bart | @Servy Funnily enough w3schools is references in some of the talk about cplusplus. But I don't use either resource enough to have a strong opinion one way or another. | |
| Aug 27, 2013 at 14:00 | comment | added | Servy | @Bart While the community may prefer one, unless there are pretty significant problems with the one it would probably be best to just limit it to comments, rather than going around changing all links to a site you think is just "not as good". Is there concensus in that community that this link is so bad it ought to be removed on site (ala w3schools)? | |
| Aug 27, 2013 at 13:58 | comment | added | Bart | Myeah, looking through the C++ lounge transcripts, it seems cplusplus is discouraged and cppreference is preferred. Most likely a user just trying to genuinely improve the references in posts. | |
| Aug 27, 2013 at 13:56 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Don't think it's malicious attempt to "redirect traffic", more likely someone who honestly believe that other site is the ultimate and official resource so doing his best to link everything to it. Unless you think "your" site is better or find anything wrong in "his" site, let it be. | |

I want to say there are some people who believe that cplusplus.com is an inferior referrerence, ala w3schools. NB - I don't know if that is actually true.

| Aug 27, 2013 at 13:54 | comment | added | Bart | Yeah, someone is putting in a bit of effort there: stackoverflow.com/users/283145/jons34yp?tab=activity Don't know if this was somehow discussed within the C++ community. | |
