What is habratest.net?

Question

Habr

I was looking for topics about old hardware in Google, and I came across this site: special.habratest.net

The habr design familiar to the eye was opened, it immediately caught my eye that the login was not completed, and only after that I noticed that I was reading not quite habr. Everything seems to be the same, only the main page is empty, and a small greeting flaunts:

“It's strange, but there's nothing here. There may be several reasons for this:
- This is an offtopic blog and all posts in it are hidden from unregistered users. Then register and join the blog to read the entries in it.
“No one has actually written anything here yet. Then join and write first!

However, as soon as we go to the "thematic" and we are waiting for a lot of interesting posts. True, they begin with the fifth page. There really exist Habrausers, which are in the original Habrahabr, but with a different karma.

According to whois, everything seems to be in order. Does anyone know anything about this site?

Answer 1

This is a test server of habr
habrahabr.ru/qa/17495/

Answer 2

yes, but the test site is usually hidden from indexing so as not to undermine the position of the main site

Answer 3

This is a test domain for design, which is currently being pulled on Habr. At least that's what I read somewhere.
