Lo and behold! I thought I was at Pinterest or some kind of a backup site of Pinterest. The similarity was uncanny - down to the last detail. Take note this site is one of the top 500 websites ranked by Alexa. Was this some sort of retaliation against the popular pin-board site for being a copyright violator? FYI: Pinterest was accused of monetizing on copyrighted images not their own and no express permission by the image owner.
I checked the Internet for stories about this and I found none. I hope someone who knows the backstory of Goos comments on this post.
By the way, this was how Goos.com looked like in 2008.
I am usually checking here for useful or specific pinterest alternatives (german only, but one can still just try the links, of course):

But goos.com isn't listet there yet. I'll look further into that and see if i can find out anything. Thanks for raising awareness.
No problem
