That doesn't sound or look like _why...

Someone must have hijacked the domain?

Well, unless this is some kind of epic troll attempt by _why... But even as a troll it doesn't strike me as his style.

Someone bought the domain and is using it. Old news.

From the owner of the domain:

NOTE: For some reason, I’ve been getting a LOT (like more than 1, which is a lot for me considering how long this site has been going) of messages from people asking me if I’m some kind of famous programmer called #why from Pittsburg or something.

Whilst I wish I was this famous and did get this much attention, unfortunately I’m not. I’m just a dude trying to turn his life around and take a bit of control over what’s going on.

This doesn't seem like THE _why, and according to wikipedia, it isn't.

On 5 January 2013, _why's site[7] was found to be back online,[8] though as of October 2013 it was only serving a blank page.[7] In March 2014, the site re-launched as the personal blog of an anonymous individual from Australia with no apparent connection to _why. Apparently not being aware of the site's previous owner, the new owner notes on his contact page that he has received a lot of mail asking if he is "some kind of famous programmer called #why from Pittsburg or something"

In saying that, please feel free to send me any gifts that you were going to send this dude and I’ll be more than happy to have them :-)

Not sure if trolling, but it doesn't sound like _why.

_why seems to have lost his edge.

The moment the header image rotated to one which was a different height and made the content move around as I was trying to read it, I knew it wasn't _why.
