Yes, the thing I also noted first was that it doesn't have any bootstrap/router (only 'bootstrap' is the one that's included at the top of each .php-file, wordpress-style). Development must have been pure pain. :(
I really understand why people hate PHP so much when all they get to see is purely non-optimized shit. It generally has a really bad reputation which it doesn't deserve. Especially in HN-circles.
Cool, it's like watching how people did PHP 4-5 years ago when there weren't many frameworks available, and people used GLOBAL variables for accessing the DB/cache.
The main thing here is that all subtitles from Undertexter.se (the raided site) are entirely fan-made, e.g. dialogs interpreted by the sites users, and then translated according to their own interpretation. I actually don't understand -how- this could be copyright infringement, so if anyone could explain it for me, I'd be glad!
