If I had to guess, I would say that it is an external continuation of the defunct AMA. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see former members of that group pop up on the bio page if that site ever gets updated.

Those with a vested interest in seeing Wikipedia fail should rejoice; it is overly bureaucratic wikilawyering that cripples Wikipedia from making the sort of changes it needs to make to become respectible, and to some extent enables the people doing the most harm to it internally to continue.

VNDV is a free-hosting service.
