| The problem is that some of the translations are wrong. |

I think some people know about 개소문닷컴. It seems Dave's offers most of those translation threads among English forums. It's a big community. Posters are directly related to Korea and generally not inclined to specific political agenda.
By the way, it's funny that RACETRAITOR's bingo board became another Korea-bashing feast material for some Japanese netizens.  |
Might be time to make a new ESL Cafe Bingo card. |
Post the other one again, okay? I forgot most of the topics, but I remember it was spot on and pretty funny. |

Babelfished, it looks a little like this:

Almost unintelligible, but it certainly seems like they copy wrote these translations without reimbursing the original authors.
here I am in these threads delivering brief but piercingly accurate intellectual observations:

I think they missed the irony.... Ah well, more importantly, how much money does this website make and when will I get my cut.... when hell freezes over, naturally. But copy writing other's works? Seriously, there oughta be an enforceable law. |

Why would they bother? Why translate pages from an ESL teacher website?
Of course, I am not yet in Korea. Maybe this is self-explanatory once you live in the country. |

White ESL teachers are the source of all Korea's problems. And we have very large schlongs that truly satisfy their women.
Just wait until you find some Korean guy nervously checking out your package at the urinal and then notice the look on his face, a look that says he's seen his irrelevance hanging between your legs. Then you'll understand. |

So, it is a bit of a Napoleon Syndrome located in the pants?
This should be interesting. However, I will have to take your word for it. I can't quite see myself having a wee at the public urinals as I am not really equipped to do so.  |

There are myriads of kinds of websites on the internet that would make you wonder why they even exist. They bother to do all kinds of things for "niche marketing". There are two websites (개소문닷컴 and 쩐다쩜넷) where they translate random Korea-related threads by foreigners in foreign languages (usually English, Japanese and chinese) into Korean and this ESL site is ONE of their regular sources. I emphasized ONE because I get an impression that some think the website is devoted to translating Dave's ESL Cafe Korean Discussion Forums. If you find translated threads on any other Korean sites, they were most likely copied from those two websites. |
