In his recent contribution in SysTax, a German newsletter on German GBIF related activities (aka biodiversity databases that are hardly any longer funded), Martin Pfeiffer writes about www.antbase.net.
No, it is not about antbase.org - but when you click on the link, or in fact anywhere on the first page, the home page of antbase.org opens.
It is confusing, and to be honest, it was confusing from the begining, when Martin Pfeiffer publicized that he started antbase.de, later renamed antbase.net. When I pointed out that there is already an antbase.org he just replied he wasn't aware of it, but I guess, from my own experience, got hipped by such things as fishbase, flybase.... So much about Internet literacy.
But anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for this sort of unplanned PR.

Just to make the confusion perfect:
there is a new and very nice french website decicated to the ants of France, and its name is:
Of course, antbase.fr
So even more possibilities to get lost on the wrong website...
Well, I guess as long as antbase.fr serves as free publicity for antbase.org we can't complain.
Thank you for bringing the french site to our attention.
