    Woahh? They've copied Hexus?

    http://forums.dvdoctor.net/

    Why does this seem familiar.....

    Edit: didn't the site used to have a link to them?

    Yeah they're linked somehow, I was just wondering if anybody knew in what way. I came across a link to it in Hexus whilst browsing this morning, although I can't remember where now.

    Re: DVDoctor

    Strange though... they're not far off being two duplicates of the Hexus forums as they stand.

    Given how similar they are, it just seems odd to be creating competitors for the main site. That's why I'm confused

    Re: DVDoctor

    You'll get a hint if you look at the list of administrators. For example ...

    DR - HEXUS founder and co-owner
    PD - HEXUS co-owner
    bcrabtree - HEXUS staff, former editor of Computer Video Magazine and, IIRC, the DVDoctor from the days of that mag.

    The site T&C's offer a hint too ....

    Re: DVDoctor

    Right... so both Hexus.net and DVdoctor.net are subsidaries of Hexus Ltd

    And Hexus is aimed at PC enthusiasts, DVdoctor is aimed at digital video enthusiasts. Presumably then this beyond3d site was aimed at yet another segment in years gone by then.

    Hexus seems to have so many bizarre layers you didn't even know existed it's untrue...
