Ah, the joys of linking W3Fools to everyone who even mentioned the word "W3Schools". I wonder if anyone's made a Reddit bot or something of the sort to do just that automatically?

  I can't really think of another article where posting that link would be more appropriate. Seriously now, we're talking about the flaws of W3Schools. How is W3Fools not relevant here?

  @mathias is actually one of the contributors http://www.w3fools.com/#contributors http://www.w3fools.com/#contributors not a bot.

I have a confession to make and a risky one, well to the extend of every karma I got. I own http://www.w3fool.com/ http://www.w3fool.com/, the one with missing 's' and you don't want know where it redirects to. I bought it when I saw it at an expired auction. I couldn't stand at thought of a website existing just to shame another. On one hand, I agree with most of you that W3School isn't accurate or up-to-date or is riled with example that have security holes but on the other I am really thankful for them for getting me into web development. Back then there weren't much options, W3School was the easiest and the best we had. I remember sitting late nights learning to build simple web apps by referencing W3School every few minutes. Getting someone interested into something is very hard, to get a kid interested in sports, you don't start with a ruleset, instead you give him a start and correct him as he makes mistakes. That start was what W3School was for me. Although I have been defending it, I think they should expire/update w3school. Times have changed and there are better resources to take its place.
