Question 1357: Windows are always open

While filming one of his films in 2006, actor X came up with the idea for a simple wordplay site where people could respond to a daily wordplay topic in an attempt to "one-up" each other in the cleverness of their response. However, as he knew nothing about the web, the codes or design, he turned to his first cousin 1 for help. So although the basic idea behind this website is X's, the site was designed, built and is run entirely by 1, who worked as Social Design Strategist at Y and hence, the userbase of this website is built solely off Y. X also shares another special connection with Y's founder.

1

Because of X's reputation for quality, the name X is often faked by a variety of imitators.

Due to its popularity on the internet, the pseudonym X  is falsely assumed by a variety of individuals and groups to mimic the source identity as a disguise for their own uploads. These faked files usually contain useless or potentially malicious data.
