I don't think the .com domain is a phishing site or something scam, its just another community but seems dead to me, and not recommended of registering the same login info used in this forum.
You can read some discussions of it here
What with bitcointalk .COM, it's a bit misleadingYou're right cause despite the long existence of the forum it barely have 330 users online in a day and I hope the newbies are aware of your advise cause anything can happen through the site.
That .com site has been around for quite a while if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not sure what the deal is with it. Is someone squatting on the domain?
Doesn't seem to be like it. According to the WHOIS, the .com domain was registered roughly 6 months before the .org even existed.
Oh my!
I never compare the forum domain information to this forum and that the case I guess the person behind the forum creation will be one of the people in the Satoshi mail list.
