Stack Overflow clones

It looks like a complete attempted copy (UI and concept at least, not as much quality)... are they related? and why would anyone use codingstack.com over SO?

http://codingstack.com/

  • It appears to be open-source github.com/usmanasif/CodingStack (link in the footer of codingstack.com points to the github repo)

  • I like their badge system. Imagine the sheer butthurt if getting downvoted just a couple times would prevent you from getting a gold badge on SO forever.

  • They have a [celebrity] badge, which has something to do with "followers". That's evidence enough right there that they have nothing to do with SE.

    They also only allow one line questions. The bodies are identical to the "titles". That's utterly nuts.

    @Felix it'll get fixed in {{count}} - ({{count+2}}) weeks.

    @Felix This must be what happens when you try to clone SO in a weekend.

Unrelated.

It doesn't look anything "like a complete copy". It's a run-of-the-mill clone of Stack Overflow. They just be tryin to copy our swagga, and in the process, demonstrating that we really are doing something right.

It's an open source project, available here on Github, if you're particularly compelled.

They also have a blog, but it's…not very active.
