I think, agreeing with taiga, Tan and Whatlol, that this does not seem to be a scam (as I mentioned above: '"seemed pretty legit"). I think he bought this domain (from the scam site), his old site (still running) was at: http://mathsmethods.blogspot.com. Seems like a guy just wanting to provide some free help

Agree, I think he bought the scammer's old domain for a new site as his blog was not sufficient for the increasing content

Doesn't seem like a scam anymore (I cannot even find a mention of any prices whatsoever)

Post by: shinny on November 25, 2010, 09:01:48 pm: It's more related to what else David Shen operated. While I didn't personally find it to be 'scamming', his methods are dubious and contentious amongst this community I guess. There's a thread elsewhere but it's besides the point; this a free website there with some potentially useful stuff so feel free to use it regardless of what else this guy has been up to.
