Wait are you talking cutting room? I had no idea they did that. Very weird for a site that's just copying Wikipedia.

Copying Wikipedia? Where did you get that from? They have loads of content, including stuff like text dumps, that you'd never see on Wikipedia.

I mean the format, it's a generic wiki formatting. Not referring to the actual content. The content they have is awesome.

Yes, the software that runs the site is Mediawiki, same one that runs Wikipedia and others. Sites can add their own registration requirements.
